been using DVDshrink for a few weeks and it's brilliant, but I decided to get a spindle of DVD9s to backup some of my favourite movies in full quality without compression. The first few worked OK but since then the burn process always fails about halfway through burning the second layer, I'm building up quite a collection of coasters! Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong would be gratefully received. Here's the log if it's any help: Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'F:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 02/11/2004 12:54:32 NT-SPTI used Nero API version: 7.5.9.0 Using interface version: 6.3.1.4 Installed in: F:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\ Application: ahead\Nero - Burning Rom Internal Version: 7, 5, 9, 0 Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GSA-2164D>Version: 1.01 - HA 1 TA 2 - 7.5.9.0 Adapter driver: <USB 2.0> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : set to ATAPI (3) -> ATAPI, detected: ? === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : Maxtor 6Y080L0 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : LITEON CD-ROM LTN526 atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : LITE-ON LTR-52327S atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === LITEON CD-ROM LTN526 D: CDRom0 LITE-ON LTR-52327S E: CDRom1 HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GSA-2164D I: CDRom2 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 74448896 (0) Byte BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 511MB (523760kB) Free physical memory: 218MB (223616kB) Memory in use : 57 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 15.12.2006 NeroAPI 13:31:03 #1 Phase 112 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 282 DVD-Video files reallocation started 13:31:03 #2 Phase 114 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 282 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 13:31:03 #3 Phase 111 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 282 DVD-Video files sorted 13:31:04 #4 Text 0 File SCSIPTICommands.cpp, Line 411 LockMCN - completed sucessfully for IOCTL_STORAGE_MCN_CONTROL 13:31:04 #5 Text 0 File AudioCompilationImpl.cpp, Line 838 DRM: StartDrmRecording(RealRec:1, ImageRec:0, Copies:1) DRM: Beginning burn process. 13:31:04 #6 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3332 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 13:31:04 #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3332 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 13:31:04 #8 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3451 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 13:34:40 #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 306 Last possible write address on media: 4173823 (927:30.73, 8151MB) Last address to be written: 3316383 (736:58.33, 6477MB) 13:34:40 #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 318 Write in overburning mode: NO 13:34:40 #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2903 Recorder: HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GSA-2164D, Media type: DVD+R9 Double Layer Disc Manufacturer ID: RICOHJPN, Media Type ID: D01, Product revision number: 2 Disc Application Code: 0, Extended Information Indicators: 3 13:34:40 #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 490 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= Insert empty disc to write to.

Hello. Nero is not the best when it comes to burning DL disks. You'll probably get better results with ImgBurn or DVD Decrypter. If you have AnyDVD running, just use DVD Decrypter. In ISO Read Mode rip the disk to your HDD. In ISO Write mode, burn the ripped ISO by selecting the MDS file associated with the ripped ISO. Otherwise, here's an ImgBurn guide: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?s=ee972734cbfab2c6a890bafdee21b58e&showforum=4 The Ricoh D01 media is burnable but not the best. Verbatim +R DL is the best, no question. Some burners have trouble burning the media. Also slow your burn speed to 2.4X. I couldn't find a firmware update for your burner, so you must have the most recent firmware available. It appears that you installed Nero 7 over Nero 6. You should probably uninstall Nero 7 and then run both the Nero 7 and Nero 6 Clean Tools: http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/Nero7_CleanTool.html http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/enu/Nero_6_CleanTool.html Reinstall Nero 7 after running the Clean Tools. Edit: typos
