It got discovered in another thread that if you just disabled "Burn at once" then the problems all mysteriously disappear. The other thread is "NeroVisionExpress 3 Problem" if you're curious.
Well, last night I finally was able to burn a DVD an not get the structure 129 error. I couldn't believe it. I used someone's suggestion to uncheck the burn-at-once feature. And I still had to down speed my DVD burn from 16x it supports to 4x on 8xTDK media, but it's a start. I haven't tried again, so I don't know it's a fluke. At least I know it's not my hardware now, and that it is a bug in VE3. Good luck out there.
Thanks so much. Your tip worked and the burn completed without error. I could have sworn I tried toggling that with no effect, but I must have been mistaken.
Thanks again.
Just a note to the the company that this product(NERO) has been a huge exercise in frustration. Almost everytime I try to do something, it doesn't work for one reason or another. I can appreciate the complexity of this type of software (I have been a programmer in the past) but after all, I did pay good money for it and I expect it to be of better quality.
I just want to say thanks to you guys for all your solutions to the nerovision problems. I was having similar problems myself regarding burning with nerovision but after studying all various responses on this forum, i'm happy to say that my nero6 works fine now.
Ahead Software responded to my plea for help and my problems were solved! Here's what they told me:
Download the cleaner tool from Nero and use it to uninstall all of your Nero applications. Download all of the latest applications from the Nero website and install them. Convert them from demo mode by using your serial number.
This solved ALL of my problems. I think the key is to use their cleaner tool to uninstall, that removes all of the registry entries in addition to the software.
This 'Burn-At-Once' feature was a problem once before and was resolved, but looks like its back again. I'll create a Task Tracking Entry so our QA and Engineers can take a closer look at it.
