creaky (or anyone with new info) sorry to shake the dust off this thread. I found this thread by googling for the errors. I am, currently, working on this error. I'll paste my log file below. I was trying to use nero to burn some video files created by a DVD authoring program I was trying out (using "Burn DVD-Video Files"). The program only creates the files and you have to use another program to burn the files to a disc. I was wondering if any more info has come to light on this problem? To try to solve this problem I have updated the burners firmware and nero (version 6) with no joy. I grabbed a copy of TMPGEnc DVD Author (version 1.5.13.44) from a coworker. I just used TMPGEnc to burn to the media in the nero log file: Recorder: SONY DVD RW DRU-530A, Media type: DVD+R Disc Manufacturer ID: MAXELL, Media Type ID: 002, Product revision number: 0 Disc Application Code: 0, Extended Information Indicators: 3 The burn completed with out errors but I have yet to view the disk in my DVD player. In the past 7 months has it been found that Nero is the problem? I have used 3 out of the 2 50-spindle of disks I bought in Aug. The first two I used DVD Shrink(?) to burn the discs without problems. Has anyone accross this error with the new Nero 7. Are Maxell discs any good? Thanks in advance, JC. ==================================================== Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.71 (0002), size=45056 bytes, created 12/20/2003 21:26:59 ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 10/26/2004 17:35:34 Nero Version: 6.6.0.18 Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 18e Recorder: <SONY DVD RW DRU-530A> Version: 2.1g - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.18 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <SONY DVD RW DRU-530A >Version: 2.1g - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.18 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : WDC WD1200JB-75CRA0 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : IOMEGA ZIP 250 atapi Port 0 ID 1 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : SONY DVD RW DRU-530A atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8481B atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: Off CdRomPeripheral : AXV CD/DVD-ROM 2.1b axvodka Port 2 ID 0 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === SONY DVD RW DRU-530A I: CDRom0 HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8481B J: CDRom1 AXV CD/DVD-ROM K: CDRom2 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 74448896 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 510MB (523240kB) Free physical memory: 241MB (247612kB) Memory in use : 52 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 1.1.2006 UDF/ISO compilation 21:04:52 #1 Phase 112 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files reallocation started 21:04:52 #2 Phase 114 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 21:04:52 #3 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6359 UDF document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : TRUE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 UDF Mode : UDF/ISO bridge UDF Revision : 1.02 UDF Partition Type : physical ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet :FALSE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : FALSE Allow more than 255 characters in path : FALSE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 21:04:52 #4 Phase 111 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files sorted 21:04:52 #5 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 21:04:52 #6 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer SONY DVD RW DRU-530A running 21:04:52 #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 21:04:52 #8 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 21:04:52 #9 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3233 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 21:04:52 #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 270 Last possible write address on media: 2295103 (510:01.28, 4482MB) Last address to be written: 1969519 (437:40.19, 3846MB) 21:04:52 #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 282 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 21:04:52 #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2483 Recorder: SONY DVD RW DRU-530A, Media type: DVD+R Disc Manufacturer ID: MAXELL, Media Type ID: 002, Product revision number: 0 Disc Application Code: 0, Extended Information Indicators: 3 21:04:52 #13 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 448 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 21:04:52 #14 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 838 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 1969520 (1969520) = #1969520/437:40.20 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 1969520 blocks [SONY DVD RW DRU-530A] -------------------------------------------------------------- 21:04:52 #15 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1051 Prepare recorder [SONY DVD RW DRU-530A] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;
