Hi, I'm running NERO 6 Ultra Edition on Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 with a NEC ND-3540A. When the Philips DVD+R is almost written it stops with the error "Session fixation error" followed by "Could not end Disc-At-Once". I've tried changing some setting like Multisession and no multisession etc. but they all errored. I've spent a total of around 6 DVDs on this :/ Here's the NERO log: Do you know why it always stops like this? Grtz , DePhille
Your DMA is off... you'll have to turn it back on. I'll try to find the link and edit to include it for you. Here is the link. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038 Also, Slow down your burn speed. 4x is recommended. Hope this helps.
[bold]Recorder: <_NEC DVD_RW ND-3540A> Version: 1.01[/bold] Also your firmware is 2 versions behind. 1.03 is available herehttp://support.necsam.com/oem/downloads/flashfirmware/fw/NECND354_v103.exe Your burner doesn't like the media. updating the firmware might take care of that. If you use good media, like verbatims, Taiyo Yudens, Maxell or Sony Made in Japan, and update your firmware, burning at x8 should be no problem. But philips is not a great media. I would also update nero to version 6.6.0.18, as you are running 6.6.0.3
Okay , I did all the above and this is what i'm getting now: Power calibration error. Here's the fresh log: I've noticed that NERO sais that DMA is turned off though in my settings it's all DMA :/. I've got an ASUS A8N-E Motherboard wuith nForce4 if that helps :/ Grtz , DePhille
Have you ever gone into your bios before? If so, go back into the bios and change it to let the bios govern the drives (instead of the os).
It's currently set to the option where the BIOS can choose the transfer mode. I've gone into the BIOS before but that was for issues not related to my DVD drive. Anyway , here's a screenshot of the current settings: [img=http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/9108/dvdhelp15gu.gif] Grtz , DePhille
No image is showing, sorry. You can tell it to let bios handle transfer mode, but if you tell it that you have a plug-n-play os, the os can still override the bios (not suppose to, but can... mine did). Make sure you tell it that your os is not plug-n-play.
go into the bios, and find the option for plug-n-play os. Change it to no. The the bios will handle the dma settings on your drives instead of letting windows.
