I tried burning two different .iso files on two different brands and both have had the same error I believe. The media isn't a problem because I've had successful burns with the brands before. Here is the log file I got from Nero: Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 10/26/2004 6:35:34 PM Nero Version: 6.6.0.15 Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 15e (Nero Express) Recorder: <HP DVD Writer 640c> Version: ES04 - HA 4 TA 0 - 6.6.0.15 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 4 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <ASUS DVD-E616P3H >Version: 1.04 - HA 4 TA 1 - 6.6.0.15 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 4 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : ST3250823AS atapi Port 2 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : HP DVD Writer 640c atapi Port 4 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : ASUS DVD-E616P3H atapi Port 4 ID 1 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : Generic DVD-ROM 1.0 d347prt Port 6 ID 0 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === HP DVD Writer 640c E: CDRom0 ASUS DVD-E616P3H F: CDRom1 Generic DVD-ROM G: CDRom2 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 894MB (915952kB) Free physical memory: 245MB (251484kB) Memory in use : 72 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 1.9.2005 Burn DVD Image 10:31:58 PM #1 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 10:31:58 PM #2 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer HP DVD Writer 640c running 10:31:58 PM #3 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3231 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 10:31:58 PM #4 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 267 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB) Last address to be written: 2286229 (508:03.04, 4465MB) 10:31:58 PM #5 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 279 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 10:31:59 PM #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2457 Recorder: HP DVD Writer 640c, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: SONY08 - D1 Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 10:31:59 PM #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 445 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 10:31:59 PM #8 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 830 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 (2 - CD-ROM Mode 1, ISO 9660) 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 2286230 (2286230) = #2286230/508:3.5 not relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/not required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 2286230 blocks [HP DVD Writer 640c] -------------------------------------------------------------- 10:31:59 PM #9 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1043 Prepare recorder [HP DVD Writer 640c] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

Sony 08D1 is pretty good media. [bold]Recorder: <HP DVD Writer 640c> Version: ES04 - HA 4 TA 0 - 6.6.0.15[/bold] Latest version I know of for your hp lightscribe's firmware is JS04.

[/bold] That burner is having issues with that media,firmware needs updated. [bold]CdRomPeripheral : Generic DVD-ROM 1.0 d347prt Port 6 ID 0 DMA: Off [/bold] The dvd-rom needs to be in dma mode.Uninstall that ide/atapi controller and reboot. [bold]Last address to be written: 2286229 (508:03.04, 4465MB)[/bold] Reduce that backup target.The current backup target is at max.By reducing it,you can keep the burn from reaching that outer edge.This area is susceptible to uneven dye.I keep mine at 4360 mbs using dvd shrink. That's all I can find wrong with it.There may be some other things,but sounds like the updated firmware and reduced target should help you out. What other dvd programs are you using?
Thanks a lot! I updated the firmware and it fixed the problem. I can burn stuff fine now it seems. One question though, even though its cool now, should i still turn on dma mode?(dont know what it is)
I'm not sure about the dvd rom. The main thing is your hd and burner are in dma mode. I you have any trouble reading a disc with that drive and burning with the HP-Very slow:go into device manager/ide-atapi controllers/uninstall-reboot that controller.Window should automatically hook it back to dma or udma when it boots back up. Good Luck and burn on.
