    Personally I dont like any Nero versions since 7.0.8.2 so what I recommend is to uninstall, run this clean tool
    http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/Nero7_CleanTool.html and install 7.0.8.2 a stable version of Nero7.

    You also have Roxio installed, it clashes with Nero, to remove run this zapper http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml

    Heres something on Roxio http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/354692

    hi :)

    your firmware is up to date

    your drive looks confused here, it thinks you are trying to burn 4.3 gb onto a dual layer disc

    i don't think your drive supports d/l burning, and i don't believe it supports -r media

    what media are you using ?

    hi qwendolin :)

    Hi mel86
    Just to add to Gwen's & gurnard posts.
    What type of DVD is this? (commercial or a copy) The log shows the source DVD as just being a +R so my guess would be a copy?
    Your drive is telling you it doesn't like this source disc - try cleaning it off.
    You can also try ripping with DVD Decrypter which is a better ripper imho than Nero. Then open those files in Nero to burn.

    Hey Gwen so you've been seeing alot of read discs errors with this version? Let me know - I'll try and reproduce on my PC - just need the details.

    Thank you all for your replies.

    To answer your questions, I use DVD+R media.
    In this instance I was trying to copy a DVD that I created. The original I used was a 'TDK DVD+R Single sided DVD+Recordable Data/Video 4.7GB 1-8X'

    I've tried to do this a few times using different programs incl dvd decrypter, and it too doesn't work.

    hi mel86 :)
    it could be a case of using inferior media
    not the best by any means i'm afraid

    try some better media as in in my sig, in your case seeing as you have to use +r
    Ritek R03+r....Verbatim MCC.004+r or some TY's

    the trouble with poorer media is that you can lose your data in as short a time as a week (not lost as gone completely) they will play up to a point on your player. your pc being more picky it becomes impossible to copy

    @qwen :)
    god your quick, i'm going to have to learn how to type faster

    @mel86
    It sounds like gurnard said - this disc may be going south on you.
    Here's a another program to try to rip the data off of it (I just use the free version)
    http://isobuster.com

    If you have access to another pc you may want to try the drive in that one - some are better at ripping 'problem' discs than others. I would use dvd decrypter or isobuster on it also.
