Hopefully someone here can help me out with this problem. I have burned many single layered discs with no problem. However I am trying to burn a large movie on my hard drive to a dual layer disc for the first time. Nero started burning but suddenly stopped about 25% into the burn.I can't remember what the error was but it closed the session and stopped burning. I am using Nero 6.6.0.16 and the disc I was trying to burn to is a Memorex DVD+R DL. I am attaching my log file below. Any help you guys could offer will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The Focus or tracking error is sometimes cleared up by a Firmware update -- LG has had problems with that, the latest firmware is 115 -- look in Nero Tool for your drive and see if you have the latest . ""Focus or tracking error"" normally relate to bad media also -- and last to a dirtied up or out of alignment laser arm on a drive. Smokers beware !! The firmware is here :- http://www.lge.com/support/software_gcsc.jsp Click on DVD-Rom (writer) -- go to second page --> the 6th one down
I just checked for firmware update and it looks like I am running latest version. And I am a non smoker. But thanks for your comments Jeanc1 any help is good. I'm reluctant to try another disc before I change something. Can't afford too many coasters.
