Nero API version: 7.7.5.1 Using interface version: 6.3.1.4 could that have nething to do with it?
This looks like Memory Tech media according to the supported media list for this drive. Try Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, Sony (made in japan) or TDK discs. I don't know of anyone else using this particular media. It sure wouldn't hurt to run the clean tool and reinstall. The log looks odd because there is a 19:32 minute gap. Did you leave for a while and then come back and put the DVD in?
You should try a different burning program as well. Ripit4me uses DVD Decrypter to burn with. This would take Nero out of the loop. You should try it if you haven't already.
