Thanks "ihoe" I took your advice from a previous post and here is what i got. Maybe you or someone else can interpret. My drive is still slow but I do keep getting "invalid track info" when trying to burn using nero and dvd shrink. It seems to burn one or two and then no more. When I check the firmware it is mrec which seems to be the latest. when I check the Dma here is what i get. primary ide channel (there are two) device 0-auto detection transfer mode dma if available current transfer mode not applicable device 1 same except the current transfer mode is ultra dma mode 2 secondary ide channel same as above but not applicable is in the current transfer mode for both o and 1 Here is the log I get when I get the error message and failure to burn Windows XP 5.1 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 10/26/2004 7:35:34 PM Nero Version: 6.6.0.18 Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 18e (Nero Express) Recorder: <BENQ DVD DC DQ60> Version: MREC - HA 0 TA 1 - 6.6.0.18 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 0 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <BENQ DVD DC DQ60 >Version: MREC - HA 0 TA 1 - 6.6.0.18 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 0 === Scsi-Device-Map === CdRomPeripheral : BENQ DVD DC DQ60 atapi Port 0 ID 1 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : WDC WD2500JS-00MHB0 atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === BENQ DVD DC DQ60 D: CDRom0 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 1014MB (1039080kB) Free physical memory: 633MB (648748kB) Memory in use : 37 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 11.4.2006 UDF/ISO compilation 7:50:24 PM #1 Phase 112 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files reallocation started 7:50:24 PM #2 Phase 114 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 7:50:24 PM #3 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6359 UDF document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 UDF Mode : UDF/ISO bridge UDF Revision : 1.02 UDF Partition Type : physical ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet :FALSE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : FALSE Allow more than 255 characters in path : FALSE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 7:50:24 PM #4 Phase 111 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files sorted 7:50:24 PM #5 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 7:50:24 PM #6 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 7:50:24 PM #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 7:50:24 PM #8 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3233 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 7:50:25 PM #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 270 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB) Last address to be written: 2202559 (489:27.34, 4301MB) 7:50:25 PM #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 282 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 7:50:25 PM #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2483 Recorder: BENQ DVD DC DQ60, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: TYG02 - Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 7:50:25 PM #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 448 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 7:50:25 PM #13 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 838 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 2202560 (2202560) = #2202560/489:27.35 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 2202560 blocks [BENQ DVD DC DQ60] -------------------------------------------------------------- 7:50:25 PM #14 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1051 Prepare recorder [BENQ DVD DC DQ60] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

Your DMA is on, so that is not the problem. You have Roxio installed on your computer, it's drivers and Nero do not like each other and will cause you to have probems. I suggest you remove Roxio and use the roxio zapper found here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml You may want to try burning at 4x, slower is not always better. Most of the Senior Members around here seem to think that burning at 4x gives optimum results. Everything else looks pretty good - good media (Taiyo Yuden), good burner (BenQ), and the latest bug free version of Nero 6 (6.6.0.18)Try again after you uninstall Roxio and post the results.
OUCH---I love my roxio and use it for a lot of things. Is there any other way around this problem. What does the roxio zapper do? thanks doug
Roxio Zapper will remove everything Roxio from your puter including the bits found in your registry...see my reply in your other thread on the perils of using Roxio. Nero should be able to do anything that Roxio can do and is much less finicky. Make sure to keep your serial key in a safe place before you delete it in case you have a need for it in the future.
I used to use Roxio all the time and found it to be less worthy than keeping Nero! I'll take Nero over Roxio anytime! Delete it, you won't be sorry for doing it!
