I can't burn and DVDs because I get a problem with Nero saying it can't burn an Illegal disc. I did search, and the threads I found were older than 60 days so I couldn't add a reply to them. The general advice was to update Firmware, I couldn't find an update for my device. I am using TDK DVD-R discs. Here is the error log. ****-****-****-****-****-****-**** Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 8.1.1.4 Internal Version: 8, 1, 1, 4 Recorder: <SAMSUNG DVD R/RW SR-W04B>Version: 1.61 - HA 1 TA 1 - 8.1.1.4 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default CD-ROM: <LITE-ON LTR-52327S >Version: QS04 - HA 1 TA 0 - 8.1.1.4 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : WDC WD1600BB-22GUC0 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : ST3250820A atapi Port 0 ID 1 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : LITE-ON LTR-52327S atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : SAMSUNG DVD R/RW SR-W04B atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : JJ5125Y DJD015D 1.01 aadjtsj9 Port 4 ID 0 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === LITE-ON LTR-52327S M: CdRom0 SAMSUNG DVD R/RW SR-W04B N: CdRom1 JJ5125Y DJD015D O: CdRom2 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 2046MB (2095600kB) Free physical memory: 1134MB (1162044kB) Memory in use : 44 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 14.2.2008 ISO compilation 4:08:36 PM #1 Text 0 File SCSIPTICommands.cpp, Line 450 LockMCN - completed sucessfully for IOCTL_STORAGE_MCN_CONTROL 4:08:36 PM #2 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6671 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : FALSE Multisession : TRUE Multisession type: : Start multisession Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet : TRUE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : TRUE Allow more than 255 characters in path : TRUE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 4:08:36 PM #3 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3347 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 4:08:36 PM #4 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3530 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 4:08:36 PM #5 Text 0 File FilesystemSettingsValidator.cpp, Line 142 FS Settings: using validator 'CUDFSettingsValidatorDVD' ParamMode = 'automatic', changing UDF partition type from 'physical' to 'physical' Changing UDF revision from '1.02' to '1.02' 4:08:36 PM #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 307 Last possible write address on media: 2297887 (510:38.37, 4488MB) Last address to be written: 358351 ( 79:38.01, 699MB) 4:08:36 PM #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 319 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 4:08:36 PM #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2972 Recorder: SAMSUNG DVD R/RW SR-W04B, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer ID: <CMC MA> <G.

those TDKs are CMC MAGs..... poor media! use better disks like Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim! Your drive has no firmware update ..... you have the most current firmware for your drive: http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1751 the bad news is that your drive is over 3-4 yrs old now! and there is a possibility that some of the new media out there is non compatible with your drive! Noticed that you burned at 8x..... if you TDK is 16x media..... try getting media that is 8x and burn at 4x!~ see if that makes a difference! good luck. And welcome to AfterDawn! Correction: your drive: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdwriters...&hddvdrom=&orderby=Name&hits=50&Search=Search your drive is older than I thought!! after doing a search I found that your drive is a 4x burner! too bad..... it won't burn ANY of the new media out there because your manufacturer never did a firmware upgrade for your drive so it won't recognize any media that is out there now!!! If you can find 4x media and burn at 2.4x then you can burn..... otherwise upgrade to a new burner that will burn all the media out there now! The good news is: DVD burners are cheap now! you can find many burners for $50.00 or less!!
lol well i guess it is getting on a bit now. Got it when dvd burners first came out over here. Well I guess I can use this as a reason to upgrade. I just ran out of my old Sony discs and picked these ones up because I didn't expect this. Thanks for the reply!
