Your second log indicates this Not the best quality discs, I'd try Verbatim or Sony Try slowing your burn to 32X
QuickDraw, Just burned a DVD using DVDFabHD Decrypter, Fix VTS, DVDShrink, and ImgBurn. No problems. Come to think of it, burning CDs with Nero was going fine, until I started burning DVDs and got DMA errors; that's when I started using ImgBurn. Do you think I should uninstall DVDFab, Shrink, and ImgBurn, then Nero, and reinstall everything? I've got the cleantool from Nero; is that sufficient? Did the whole USB driver uninstall, and got myself in a bit of a pickle; lost the use of my mouse, didn't have a spare serial one, and not too great at remembering keyboard commands ;-) Up and running again. Gwendolin, Thank you. I didn't realize these were poor quality; I've used them for years with very few coasters; maybe 1 or 2 out of 100, and I always burned CDs at 48x. In any event, I've done a couple more test runs and this is the way it goes: I open Nero Express using StartSmart, select the tracks, copy, burn, then "Finish". That CD always comes out fine. Since I usually burn a number of them at a time, my next choice is "Start a New Project". It is at that point that Express freezes; I can't get out even using Task Manager. I have to shut down the computer. I can only burn 1 CD, than I have to reboot. Can't burn DVDs at all using Nero.
I tried a DVD this time. DVDFAB-->FixVTS--->NeroRecode. Everything appeared to go ok until the actual burn.
