Try upgrading your Nero from here, both packages http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe Package 2 http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/NVE-3.1.0.21_no_yt.exe You have a fair bit of memory in use, dont multitask while burning. These are poor quality discs, try Verbatim or Sony made in Japam) Bump the burn speed up to 4X
