I've been burning dvd's for a long time with this NEC - dvd 3500ag recorder but for the last week or so it fais everytime. I've tried numerous things from numerous posts with no luck. Am sing Sony dvd-r media. Cleaned registry, even tried system restoral to an earlier date when it was working. Hav'nt done anything with firmware. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Burn process started at 2.4x (3,324 KB/s) The burn speed for your media is rated at 16x. Try nurning at 8x. Your firmware is old. You need to update. http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1904
Thank you! It worked. I was reluctant to upgrade firmware unless I had to because it had been working fine for so long. I suspect it may have been corrupted. I upgraded to NEC's latest found at, (and very simple): http://support.necam.com/Optical/downloads/FlashFirmware/readme.asp?ID=6 Thanks again, Mark
