I've seen a lot of great help here, so I was wondering if you could assist me. I have an NEC ND-2510A DVD drive that writes DL DVDs at 2.4x. I've tried DVDShrink 3.2 to rip and Roxio RecordNow (latest ver.) to burn but I get this message: << There was a problem writing to the disc. Sense: 05 ASC: 30 ASCQ: 05 (Command 2A) ------------------------------------------------------- Px.dll: 2.7.42.500 PxAFS.DLL: 1.0.0.1 pxdrv.dll: 1.1.87.0 PxMas.dll: 2.7.42.500 PxSFS.DLL: 2.7.42.500 PxWave.dll: 2.7.42.500 pxwma.dll: 1.0.0.3 >> So I tried DVD Shrink's feature with Nero (7.2.3.2b) and I got some similar lines with a "Burn process failed" message. I'm using Memorex disc to test it out (and if that works, I'll be looking at Verbatim.) Is it the discs I'm using? Is it the drive, software, etc? Thanks! << Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.60 (1021), size=45056 bytes, created 10/23/2004 8:09:04 PM ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 11/2/2004 1:54:32 PM NT-SPTI used Nero API version: 7.2.3.2 Using interface version: 6.3.1.4 Installed in: C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\ Application: ahead\Nero - Burning Rom Internal Version: 7, 2, 3, 2 Recorder: <_NEC DVD_RW ND-2510A> Version: 2.05 - HA 1 TA 1 - 7.2.3.2 Adapter driver: <USB 2.0> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : set to ATAPI (3) -> ATAPI, detected: ? === Scsi-Device-Map === CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4481B atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : WDC WD1600JD-75HBB0 iaStor Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4481B D: CDRom0 _NEC DVD_RW ND-2510A H: CDRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 74448896 (0) Byte BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 510MB (522332kB) Free physical memory: 5MB (5132kB) Memory in use : 99 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 10.8.2006 NeroAPI 11:13:15 PM #1 Phase 112 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 278 DVD-Video files reallocation started 11:13:15 PM #2 Phase 114 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 278 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 11:13:15 PM #3 Phase 111 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 278 DVD-Video files sorted 11:13:16 PM #4 Text 0 File ThreadedTransfer.cpp, Line 531 ReadBuffer-Pipe got 262144KB of Memory 11:13:16 PM #5 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 124 Reader running 11:13:16 PM #6 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 113 Writer H: _NEC DVD_RW ND-2510A running 11:13:16 PM #7 Text 0 File AudioCompilationImpl.cpp, Line 842 DRM: StartDrmRecording(RealRec:1, ImageRec:0, Copies:1) DRM: Beginning burn process. 11:13:16 PM #8 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3312 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 11:13:16 PM #9 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3312 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 11:13:16 PM #10 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3400 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 11:13:46 PM #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 289 Last possible write address on media: 4173823 (927:30.73, 8151MB) Last address to be written: 3748303 (832:57.28, 7320MB) 11:13:46 PM #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 301 Write in overburning mode: NO 11:13:46 PM #13 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2715 Recorder: _NEC DVD_RW ND-2510A, Media type: DVD+R9 Double Layer 11:13:46 PM #14 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 473 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= Compilation cannot be written on that medium type.

Firstly you will have to remove Nero6.3.1.4, I personally do NOT like 7.2.3.2 so heres my suggestion, uninstall Nero, run the Nero6 clean tool, http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/en/Clean_Tools.html and then the Nero7 clean tool, http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/Nero7_CleanTool.html and then install this more stable version 7.0.8.2 from here http://www.filehippo.com/download_nero_7_premium/?845 Update firmware to 2.18 from here http://support.necsam.com/oem/downloads/flashfirmware/dl/K251GN81.exe One of the reasons I dont like 7.2.3.2, try to free up some memory, dont multitask. You have Roxio installed, it clashes with Nero, to remove, run this zapper http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml BTW. You seem to know about memorex so no need to tell you how bad they really are!
Thanks for the help. I uninstalled of Nero and cleaned everything using the tool, but for some reason I can't update my driver to 2.18. When I click on the updater, it says "Target NEC ND_2510A is not found correctly" even though it is my drive. Any tips?
Got it working. Thanks very much gwendolin. And yeah, I read about how awful those Memorex discs are. Suffice it to say, those things were sacrificed (and plenty of them too) for a greater good!
