I have been using Nero for many years and never have seen this issue. Lately I have been working on a project and burning many discs within a weeks time. approx. 50 Lately, I am getting alot of errors when burning. Stating it failed ,etc. When burning an image, it will state error, but will play just fine in the DVD player, although it takes the player a minute or two to find it and play. OR it will just burn fine and then have circles on the disc and it will not play at all or just a portion. When burning AVI to DVD it will either error out and refuse to go no where after spending 2 hours on transcoding or it will burn fine and then have the circles on the disc and will not play. I am not sure what to do. I have emailed Nero about this but no reply from them yet. Any suggestions anyone? Need help please!! Copy of error from an image burn, havent tested the disc yet but there is no circles on it.

Update your Nero from here, it's the version I prefer 7.5.9.0 http://www.filehippo.com/download_nero_7_premium/?1881 Update firmware from here http://www.de.nec.de/software/2482_Firmware_ND-2500A_WIN10B.zip These are poor quality discs, try Verbatim or Sony (made in japan) Slow your burn to 4X You have Roxio installed, it clashes with Nero, to remove, run this zapper http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml
Ok.. I updated Nero to the one you suggested and it works just fine for the image burning. Thank you for that one!! For the AVI to DVD burn it is wanting to use 4.37 out of 4.38 of the disc and then stating after a longer than usual transcoding time, not enough room on the disc. It is doing this to all of my files. How do I change this to NOT take up the entire disc when it doesnt have to and fit on a regular DVD. Also I looked at the preferences and it is the same as before, automatically fit.
