jacobmp, I'm not that good reading all the particulars but 2 things jumped right out at me - First, your media - Memorex has had serious issues in regards to quality - numbers as high as 50 % have surfaced - losing 50 out of 100 discs (this was just one person) is defiantly off the scale - Memorex unfortunately, is ranked as a "Poor" DVD media. It is quite good for text, spread sheets, Data, .jpg and .gif saving and it's fine for music but DVD's require your media to be the best - Recommended would be Ritek G04 or Verbatim and media boasting Advanced Metal AZO Dye - a superior dye application is a good choice (a bit "pricey" though). And the second thing that bothers me is; Indicating that you have a lot of stuff running in the background. You are going to have to go into msconfig and shut a bunch of stuff down. Burning takes a ton of resources and you have 200MG being wasted. I assume that you are aware that you should do absolutely nothing with your PC when it's busy burning - No surfing, no Email, Nothing ! It's one of the hardest things your system does - let it work. Let's make those 2 changes and try again - BTW, Welcome to the Neighborhood Pete
Hi guys I looked this over a bit and it sure seems like Nero is confused here. Nero thinks your disc is a Ritek W-01 DVD R/W. Nero says your burn failed a 47.5X. The way I deal with Nero is to just remove it, using uninstall and Nero clean tools and then re-install. My memory usage is up there too, My log shows: Physical memory: 1015MB Free physical memory: 620MB Memory in use: 38% I would try some different media just to make sure that was not the problem. Ritek G-04's are, as Pete said, excellent. Have you ever been able to burn with your Pioneer? Can you burn a CD? Try to test it to make sure that it is not the problem. Do you need to update the firmware? I usually generate my logs from Nero Burning ROM. It looks like yours came from a different Nero feature. I'll guess and say Nero Startsmart, Right? Cheers, Frank
thanks for your advice... I installed a trail copy of cloneDVD and I could able to burn it successfully. probably the nero might have corrupted while installing. how can I close this thread?
