I've been looking all over the internet for answers to this, and it seems it's a common problem, but I have yet to find anything that works for me. I used this program to burn several DVDs, and then it randomly started giving me an error message "Unable to prepare data for recording: Prepare session failed: Transcoding of videos failed." This is totally indiscrimant and does this no matter the file type or size of the video I'm trying to burn. I have NO idea what's going on. I have been in DMA, and I've also tried disabling SmartEncoding. I am using Nero 7 Essentials that came with my burner. I'm running on Windows XP, and my burner is a LiteOn. I'm trying to burn on Memorex and Maxell. The Memorex ones worked fine before, but now Nero doesn't even let it get far enough to check if there's a DVD inserted at all! Here is my log: [10:06:16] NeroVision Log created (Date: 09/21/2008) [10:06:16] NeroVision GetFileIDPath(1004) failed [10:06:16] NeroVision GetFileIDPath(1004) failed [10:06:16] NeroVision Processors: 1 (Intel) [10:06:16] NeroVision OS: Windows XP [10:06:16] GCCore Detected DirectX Version 9 or higher [10:06:16] ExpressUI Running Nero Vision Essentials Version: 4.7.0.19 [10:06:18] GCCore Detected DirectX Version: 9.0c [10:06:23] DVDEngine C:\PROGRAM FILES\NERO\NERO 7\NERO VISION\DVDENGINE.DLL [10:06:23] DVDEngine Product Version: 4.7.0.9, File Version: 4.7.0.14, Interface Version: 4.9.0.1 [10:06:23] DVDEngine C:\PROGRAM FILES\NERO\NERO 7\NERO VISION\DVDENGINE.DLL [10:06:23] DVDEngine Product Version: 4.7.0.9, File Version: 4.7.0.14, Interface Version: 4.9.0.1 [10:06:23] DVDEngine C:\PROGRAM FILES\NERO\NERO 7\NERO VISION\DVDENGINE.DLL [10:06:23] DVDEngine Product Version: 4.7.0.9, File Version: 4.7.0.14, Interface Version: 4.9.0.1 [10:06:23] DVDEngine BEGIN: IDVDEngineManagerImpl - CreateDVDVideoSession [10:06:23] DVDEngine END: IDVDEngineManagerImpl - CreateDVDVideoSession [10:06:23] DVDEngine BEGIN: IDVDSessionBaseImpl - RegisterApplicationService [10:06:23] DVDEngine ..Application service registered...

To start with have you tried a clean install of the program. Uninstall it, run a registry cleaner such as Ccleaner, defrag, and reboot. Then reinstall. Next you have a bunch of other issues: 1) Get some better quality media such as Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, or Sony. 2) You have too much running in the background You will have to free up some memory or this will never work. 3) Don't know what drives you are using but the DMA is off on two of them. Try these things and see if it helps.
I uninstalled, ran CCleaner, defragged, rebooted, reinstalled, freed up some memory.. same problem. Also, I've followed the steps to enabling DMA, and it tells me that DMA is "on if available" on every one of the drives. What's going on here? I know I should get better media, but Nero gives me this same error whether there is a disc inserted in the burner or not. I just don't get what's wrong.
I am not an expert on Nero by no means as I find other programs more user friendly, but this error message catches my attention. It may not mean anything at all, not sure, but might warrant further investigation on your part. What process have you done in regards to your DMA? When you look at the settings in device manager what does it say under Current Transfer Speed? DMA... or PIO? Here is a LINK with further info should you require it.
