Nero 7 Premium and Ultra Editions

From what I gather, the Ultra Edition is for the US (and Canada I assume) while the Premium Edition is for Europe. Will there be any problems if I use the Premium edition if I live in the US (i.e. hardware incompatibility, wrong region codes etc).

 

To the best of my knowlege the answer to that is NO.

 

If you ever want, you can change the version you are able to download by just changing the language from English to US-English by clicking on the International button on the Nero website.

 

Okay thanks, I had the Ultra edition installed then installed Premium cause I thought it was better but then my stuff stopped burning properly (i.e. it says burned successfully but doesnt work on my dvd player). Im doing a full reinstall now see if the situation improves.

 

Noo, it doesnt work. Despite the fact that I never get any help when I ask for it here, ill ask anyways and hope some great dude out there will assist me.

I basically outlined my problem on my last post. Im burning with Nerovision4, put some .avi files in. I change the audio to "automatic" instead of "LCMP" or whatever to make more room, and video quality to "automatic fit to disc" so I can cram as much as I can on the dvd. Burn away at 4x like I usually do...4 hours later it says burn sucessful but the thing doesnt work on my dvd player or my computer.

I have also tried burning a datadisc full of videos, tried around 4-5 times. 4 of them came with the same result as the above. The last one sort of worked. Except on a few of the files actually ran when I put it in my computer (i.e. episodes 1-10 worked, 11-20 didnt)...said something about wrong compression methods or something. I gave up and decided to seek help AGAIN before wasting anymore dvds.

Given that I have burned dvds in the same way in the past, I dont think its anything to do with hardware or anything with my dvd player. In case you didnt read above, I just did a full clean install (the tool on their website + uninstall). Im running WinXP Home SP2, 2.6ghz and 512 ram if that actually helps.

 

OK, now I am confused!

Your question:

Your answer:

What really is your question? If it is about making coasters, post a log, try burning to the image recorder, WE NEED INPUT!

 

Sorry, I guess i should've created a new topic. Yes, the first question regarding Premium vs. Ultra edition has been answered...and i guess my statement about me never getting help is sort of invalidated by that.

Secondly, me saying 'nooo' meant that a clean install didnt help. The dvds i burn to play on my dvd player dont work is the problem. The weird thing is there is no error messages. It says burn completely successful yet my DVD player and my computer doesnt recognize it as a disc with anything on it.

The huge post I made outlined the steps I go through (and the program I used) to burn my disc. As for the log, its useless. Last time I posted it, my post got ignored...I dont remember if I was even prompted to save a log cause it was burned sucessfully.

 

Even if you don't have an error log, there is the C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\NeroHistory.log. It is a little easier to read anyway.

If you need to experiment, set up the ImageDrive. After you burn the image, you can load it on the ImageDrive and it will play (or not) just like a real DVD would. Check under tools for it.

Have you put the discs in any other computers to test? If you have InCD installed, you might try uninstalling it for a while. It may or may not cause you problems.

If your prior log was ignored, it was probably because no one trains anyone here as to how to read them. As far as I know, any suggestions are given from seeing many logs. The sample ones they have on the Nero site are a little out of date.

 

If you go to the Search Messages at the top of the page, insert your username it will give you a list of threads you have submitted, find your log file that was "Ignored" and post a link.

I find it hard to believe that your Log files would be ignored, re post it and I will personally look at it.

@Saltgrass,

Nobody at AD is trained, it is all (in my case anyway) picked up by reading each thread, studying the replies and then trying to answer them.

All I see is that there were at least 2 burn sessions that were done successfully (at 4x). At the moment the search is down and I cant find my old posts (only the recent ones), including that one that im saying got ignored. Ill look into it again ASAP.

 

Nero API version: 7.2.0.3 and 7.2.0.3b

These latest versions of Nero are full of bugs, I recommend you uninstall, run this clean tool http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/Nero7_CleanTool.html and then install 7.0.8.2 a more stable version from here
http://www.filehippo.com/download_nero_7_premium/?845

Firmware several versions behind, update from here http://www.liteonit.com.tw/ODD/WebFW/LDW-451S/DR4GSBC.zip

Something is really chewing up your memory, dont multitask and close all unnecessary programs including spyware

Your disc is not recognized, firmware update should fix this

According to this log your burn was successful...did you try to play your newly burned disc on your comp?

 

Thank you for decipher all that technical stuff. Firmware link you gave me 404 not found so I searched for it myself. I dont know whats up with my computer but the memory is always taken up by something or another...ill try restricting it more. Finally, yes I played the DVD on my comp, nothing there. I go to My Computer, double click on the drive and it gives me "Incorrect Function". Will move to a more stable version right...now.

 

So I can look up your firmware, where are you situated (which Country)

Try this link
http://www.liteonit.com/global/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=48&Itemid=67

or heres a direct link

For my information, what is the "VB1949M ZDY834Z 1.0 dtscsi Port 2 ID 0 DMA: Off" and where is it physically located on the computer (which connector)?

Sorry, this question is intended for Ragnarok8 only.

 

I'm not much good at dicipering the logs, but reading thru the forums, my input is that most people seem to think that NERO6 is a far better option if you have problems with version 7..) as most of the bugs have been worked out by now.

If youre able to uninstall NERO7 you may get far better results with NERO6..

And a good rule of thumb is to not touch the PC when burning, and if possilble disconnect it from the internet aswell..

 

"VB1949M ZDY834Z 1.0 dtscsi Port 2 ID 0 DMA: Off" is one of your 2 CDVD-ROM drives, and its DirectMemoryAccess is swiched OFF - you may want to switch it on in the Device Manager for better disc reading if able tho i doubt it will make any difference as it is not the one you are recording to, but it does appear to be on the same IDE lead...

 

Sigh, problem not solved. I had a problem using the clean tool, towards the end I get a runtime error (it still seems to delete the files anyways). I couldnt get the earlier version to work. It worked until I restarted my computer where it said there was an install issue and told me to reinstall some 10 times (geez, once or twice is enough). I guess Ill have to reinstall nero 6 or something.

The first DVD i burned after upgrading the firmware had 4 video files, the first two worked from what I was told but the last 2 did not...the same thing happened on my data disc like I mentioned before (eps 1-10 worked, 11-20 didnt). They all said burn completely sucessful.

EDIT: Oh for the firmware thing, I live in Canada but I already upgraded...hopefully not the wrong one. And I have the history log for this one as well if necessary.

 

OK no problems, just post your recent failed burn Nero log and we'll take another look to see whaat has changed.

 

Whoops, did another 'clean' install...im moving back to nero 6...thanks for all the help though. I'll post again if it still doesnt work (ill find out soon...)
