I have been burning to these Sony DVD-Rs for over a month. All of a sudden I keep getting an error when Nero tries to burn to them. I have updated the firmware on my burner. I have tried using the burner with my desktop and my laptop and get the same results. I have Nero 6 on my laptop and the most recent version of Nero 7 on my desktop. Here is the error log form the most recent failure on my laptop: Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.71 (0002), size=45056 bytes, created 7/16/2002 10:03:20 PM 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 Recorder: <_NEC DVD_RW ND-2510A> Version: 2.FA - HA 3 TA 0 - 6.6.0.18 Adapter driver: <> HA 3 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

I'm having the same problem. I've been using Sony DVD-Rs for a while and all of a sudden it stops working. For me, it will start burning and get pretty far, and then say there was a burn error. It doesn't seem like it's my drive 'cause I expect it not to burn at all. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Nero, and that helped for a few DVDs and then stopped working again.
