Hello! I'm new to this forum, but I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm new to this recording dvd business, and I'm having some problems. I've tried simulation recording with Nero (in my first attempt the burn process failed) but it failed saying "invalid track info". I have absolutely no idea why this is happening, so I was wondering if somebody could give me a hint. Here's the log file: ------------------------------------------------------ Nuno 1A23-******************************** Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Programas\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 26-10-2004 18:35:34 Nero version: 6.6.0.3 Recorder: <TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H552B>Version: TS02 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.3 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H552B>Version: TS02 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.3 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : ST3120022A atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H552B atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : VOBID InstantDrive CD 14 VOBID Port 2 ID 0 DMA: Off CdRomPeripheral : Generic DVD-ROM 1.0 d347prt Port 3 ID 0 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H552 D: CDRom0 VOBID InstantDrive CD E: CDRom2 Generic DVD-ROM F: CDRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 74448896 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 510MB (523052kB) Free physical memory: 176MB (180768kB) Memory in use : 65 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 7.7.2005 UDF/ISO compilation 13:21:10 #1 Phase 112 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files reallocation started 13:21:10 #2 Phase 114 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 13:21:10 #3 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6168 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : TRUE Simulate : TRUE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet :FALSE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : TRUE Allow more than 255 characters in path : TRUE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 13:21:10 #4 Phase 111 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files sorted 13:21:10 #5 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 13:21:10 #6 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H552B running 13:21:10 #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3286 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 13:21:10 #8 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3286 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 13:21:10 #9 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3151 Turn on Disc-at-once, using DVD media 13:21:11 #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 256 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB) Last address to be written: 2285961 (507:59.36, 4464MB) 13:21:11 #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 268 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 13:21:11 #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2309 Recorder: TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H552B, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: OPTODI - SCR008 Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 13:21:11 #13 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 430 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 13:21:11 #14 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 830 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 2286112 (2286112) = #2286112/508:1.37 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 2286112 blocks [TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H552B] -------------------------------------------------------------- 13:21:11 #15 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1040 Prepare recorder [TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-H552B] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

I'm using Samsung Pleomax (which someone offered to me) but I don't know if the quality is good. Appreciate any help given. Thanx.
One of the first things in your log file is your serial number. You may want to edit that out before someone steals it. It's the 1A23-**** I think this is your problem. Many Optodisc users have had problems with their quality in the past. The best media in my opinion is either Verbatum with the Super AZO Dye or Taiyo Yuden if you buy online. Also, try dropping your burn speed down to 4x if possible.
The firmware on your burner is not up to date, for Samsung TS-H552B it is showing TS10 http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?category=4&manufactor=28 Or you can go to the Samsung site and download the firmware
Thanks for the replys guys. I'll update my firmware and also use new media to record on. I'll let you know what happens. Thanks again.
Sorry for the delay in my answer but I was offline for some time. Well, now I´m back and I've recorded in Verbatim media, after updating my firmware, and it all went smooth as silk I've also tried it on my standalone dvd player and it works fine. Once again, thanks for your help guys.
