I updated my nero burner software to upto date and I did update the Liteon firmware to the latest one. But I am still not able to write DVD ([bold]4x rw rewriteable DVD does not work but 1-8x DVD works fine[/bold]), not sure what is the problem. Here is the log. Any help please.

@sashi - - DMA needs to be ON. fix via this - http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/FAQ.htm - you've fot to free up way more memory prior to all burning, you've got virtually none left there, which will be interfering with the burn - just for info, you're doing a multisession disc there, did you intend to do that ? - splat!. fix the DMA/memory and see if that fixes it
