Hello everyone, I have an annoying problem thats been happening to me for the longest time. Every time I try to burn a DVD data disc in Nero Express I get this error right after I hit Burn: "Not able to write Disc-at-once on an open disc" It's really frustrating now being able to burn something when this always pops up. I'm not sure if this will help but here is the error log: 1K22-1867-0795-66M4-5313-8527-**** Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 8.3.2.1 Internal Version: 8, 3, 2, 1 (Nero Express) Recorder: <PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-116D>Version: 1.07 - HA 1 TA 0 - 8.3.2.1 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2000kB Bus Type : default CD-ROM: <PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-116D>Version: 1.07 - HA 1 TA 0 - 8.3.2.1 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : Maxtor 33073U4 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-116D atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : ST380013A atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-116D D: CdRom0 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 1023MB (1048048kB) Free physical memory: 522MB (534648kB) Memory in use : 48 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 25.2.2009 ISO compilation 4:37:41 PM #1 Text 0 File SCSIPTICommands.cpp, Line 450 LockMCN - completed sucessfully for IOCTL_STORAGE_MCN_CONTROL 4:37:41 PM #2 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6713 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 4:37:41 PM #3 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3349 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 4:37:42 PM #4 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3349 First writeable address = 3920 (0x00000F50) 4:37:42 PM #5 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3568 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 4:37:42 PM #6 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' 4:37:43 PM #7 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' 4:37:45 PM #8 Phase 167 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1767 Not able to write Disc-at-once on an open disc. 4:37:45 PM #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 323 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 4:37:45 PM #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2932 Recorder: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-116D, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer ID: <SONY16> <D1> Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 4:37:45 PM #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 497 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= Insert the disc to write to.

I haven't used Nero for a while, but it seems to be indicating that (in Nero's case) a DVD±RW is required - not the DVD-R that is inserted - if you intend to use create a multisession disk.
