Sorry -- same problem as everyone else. I am using a TDK 440n and can't write to a DVD-R using any speed. I have upgraded the firmward to 1.0C and am using Nero 7. Any help? Log file follows...

Your TDK are actually made by CMC mag and these are horrible discs, try Verbatim or Sony (made in Japan) If you continue to use these discs, slow burn to 4X
This is a common problem and almost always caused by poor blank media: This is considered 4th class media http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm Try Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden and your problem should go away.
Yeah, thats a good place to start. These CMC MAGs cause so many problems that it is pretty much always what we would have you fix first. Not that something else may cause problems but we gotta go after the most likely culprit first. I can assure you that none of the long timers here use these.
