Hi there, Doesn't it really suck when it just won't work??? I'm the latest newbie to darken your hallowed doors. I've just bought a DVD-writer and I'm trying to copy a load of data files onto a DVD+R. The files are around 300MB and 3500MB in total. During copying, sometimes I get a CRC error on one file, sometimes I don't. when I try to access the DVD on completion, all the file structure appears there with all the files looking the correct size, but I cannot access them. For example, I open a 1k .txt file and it is empty. I have copied at x8 and x4 speed to the same poor result. I bought the writer last week from PC World, it is badged as an Empex 16x. I downloaded the latest firmware update when I installed it. I use Nero Express 5.5.10.34 to copy with. My system is XP1800 processor, 256MB memory, running Win2k pro. The media I'm using is branded Philips 8x DVD+R. I originally copied the files off of a DVD-R disc. All offerings of help gratefully received Mark Here's an excerpt from the Nero log file. ----------------------------------------------- mark Windows 2000 5.0 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.71 (0001), size=45056 bytes, created 06/05/2002 10:01:14 ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.59, size=160016 bytes, created 29/01/2003 22:37:36 Nero Version: 5.5.10.54 (Nero Express) Recorder: <DVDRW IDE 16X> Version: A07F - HA 1 TA 0 - 5.5.10.54 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : via Inquiry data (1) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI Connected to MMC as unknown drive with class-nr : 1 CD-ROM: <ARTEC WRR-52Z> Version: 1.23 - HA 1 TA 1 - 5.5.10.54 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : Maxtor 6E040L0 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : DVDRW IDE 16X atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: Off CdRomPeripheral : ARTEC WRR-52Z atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: Off ======================= AutoRun : 0 Excluded drive IDs: CmdQueuing : 1 CmdNotification: 2 WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (83886080) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 EraseSpeed : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 255MB (261616kB) Free physical memory: 17MB (17604kB) Memory in use : 93 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Static Write Speed Table: 0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Enabled (1) Wizard: On 7.12.2004 ISO compilation 08:07:01 #1 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 7604 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet : TRUE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : TRUE Allow more than 255 characters in path : TRUE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 08:07:01 #2 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 115 Reader running 08:07:01 #3 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 125 Writer DVDRW IDE 16X running 08:07:01 #4 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 4571 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 08:07:01 #5 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3769 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 08:07:02 #6 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 672 Setup items (original item values) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 (CTransferItem) 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original CD pos #0 + 1002176 (1002176) = #1002176/222:42.26 relocatable, CD pos for caching/writing not required/required, no patch infos -------------------------------------------------------------- 08:07:03 #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 229 Last possible write address on media: 2295103 (510:01.28) Last address to be written: 1002175 (222:42.25) 08:07:03 #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 234 Write in overburning mode: FALSE 08:07:03 #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 1703 Recorder: DVDRW IDE 16X, Media type: DVD+R Disc Manufacturer ID: CMC MAG, Media Type ID: E01, Product revision number: 0 Disc Application Code: 0, Extended Information Indicators: 3 08:07:03 #10 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 824 Prepare recorder DVDRW IDE 16X for write in cue-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: TOCTYPE: 0x0 Session Closed, CD fixated Tracks 1 to 1: TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048/0x0, ISRC "", FilePos 0 307200 2052763648 08:07:03 #11 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 672 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 (CTransferItem) 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original CD pos #0 + 1002176 (1002176) = #1002176/222:42.26 relocatable, CD pos for caching/writing not required/required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 1002176 blocks [DVDRW IDE 16X ] -------------------------------------------------------------- 08:07:03 #12 Phase 24 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1655 Caching of files started 08:07:03 #13 Phase 25 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1655 Caching of files completed 08:07:03 #14 Phase 36 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1655 Burn process started at 4x (5,520 KB/s) 08:07:03 #15 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1978 Verifying CD position of item 0 (relocatable, CD pos, no patch infos, orig at #0): write at #0 08:07:03 #16 Text 0 File Cdrdrv.cpp, Line 7931 ---- DVD Structure: Physical Format Information (00h) ---- Layer: 0, Address: 0 (0 h), AGID: 0;

And this is with first copying the files from the disc onto your HD, then burning from the HD onto a blank disc?

You might want to edit your Serial Number out of the Nero Log aswell. The 15..... bit at the top. CJC
thanks for the note about the DMA and removing my serial number. Will investigate DMA and report back
OK things are looking better. Thanks for your help. Firstly I made an image file on my hard disk and cut from there. This worked. Before, some of the files were three subdirectories down, so perhaps beyond the Joliet 64 character limit. This might be a red herring though. Secondly, I changed to Imation DVD-R media. The image file copied fine, but a lot slower (90mins for 4GB). Finally, I changed the DMA setting and cut a DVD-R and it wizzed through - 12 minutes! Excellent, many thanks for your rapid insightful response. Mark
