Hi all, first post in this forum! I've been using Nero's 6.0 so far to create CD's, never had any probs until I progressed to trying to burn DVD's. I've been testing Nero's DVD creation performance using a small test Mpeg of 500Kbs. However, the process falls over towards the end of the burning portion. I have plenty of system resources, the DVD shows up in Explorer... Can anyone tell me what's wrong? Below is a copy of the log as produced by Nero, with the superfluous parts edited out for brevity's sake. Thanks in advance for your help, Jaybee. 0x7CF30000 5.0.3900.7032 C:\WINNT\system32\SHELL32.dll Properties of your project: Aspect ratio: 4:3 Video mode: PAL Quality: Standard play (5073 kbps) Used disc space: 0.00 GB Your project contains the following: Number of titles: 1 1.

@Jaybeee - - way too old, 6.6.0.15 is out now - firmware is up to date - http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=2011 - yup, Nero ois too old to properly recognise your burner - fix your DMA via this - http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/FAQ.htm - for info, always free up more memory before burning, ie close down sufficient programs - slow it down to say 4x
Cheers Creaky, the problem seems to have been solved - after changing the DMA to Ultra from Pio at your suggestion(and rebooting), the problem seems to have been solved - I received my first 'Success' message using a 2.5Mb avi file. I had made no other changes. I will proceed to larger files, then multiples...but the outlook seems promising!! Thanks mate!!! Jaybee.
that's good news BUT yuo must also address the other things otherwise you'll be back here again!, which is no problem but you might as well make your journey useful
