I have been using Nero 6 for about 8 months now. The last couple of months i havent backed up any DVDs. Now I keep getting a write error after the files are compiled and it starts to write to disk. Here is the error log..

josh19k Welcome to aD! First thing you need to do is edit your post and remove your Nero serial #. Don't want people getting ahold of that! It begins w/ 1A23 and is listed 2x in your log. Make sure your firmware is up to date - this may help some. Your biggest problem is probably the CMC discs: Means your drive does not like these discs. CMC is probably the worst. You can also try reducing your burn speed to 4x. I would switch media - use Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim DataLifePlus.
in addition to Binkie7's reply - - also you're burning too close to outer edge of those (appalling) discs. You should find the target size setting and change it to 4300MB thus avoiding outer edge of discs and not sacrificing much space.. there's a lot of people having problems with this same burner, see here - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/179003
josh19k Next time be sure to remove your serial key. There're probabaly several people using your key by now.
