Hello brothers and sisters, Right...let me get straight to the point. I think I have made enough Mitsubitshi DVD-R coasters for my neighborhood tonight. So I have to admit I can't solve these Nero problems myself. I use a NEC ND-3530A DVD-RW writer (firmware version 3.01), running WinXP, using Nero 6.6.0.18. Here is my problem log sheet: =========================== Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=1.0.0.0, size=21504 bytes, created 8/4/2003 0:39:24 ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\PROGRA~1\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 26/10/2004 18:35:34 Nero Version: 6.6.0.18 Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 18e Recorder: <_NEC DVD_RW ND-3530A> Version: 3.01 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.18 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <Generic DVD-ROM >Version: 1.0 - HA 2 TA 0 - 6.6.0.18 Adapter driver: <d347prt> HA 2 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : IC35L040AVVA07-0 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : _NEC DVD_RW ND-3530A atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : Generic DVD-ROM 1.0 d347prt Port 2 ID 0 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === _NEC DVD_RW ND-3530A D: CDRom0 Generic DVD-ROM G: CDRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 637MB (653300kB) Free physical memory: 281MB (287744kB) Memory in use : 55 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 17.7.2008 ISO compilation 1:19:31 #1 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6359 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : TRUE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 2 (Max. of 31 chars) 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 1:19:31 #2 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 1:19:31 #3 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer _NEC DVD_RW ND-3530A running 1:19:31 #4 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 1:19:32 #5 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3233 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 1:19:32 #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 270 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB) Last address to be written: 2287279 (508:17.04, 4467MB) 1:19:32 #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 282 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD DVD) 1:19:32 #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2483 Recorder: _NEC DVD_RW ND-3530A, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: MCC 03 - RG20 Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 1:19:32 #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 448 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 1:19:32 #10 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 838 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 2287280 (2287280) = #2287280/508:17.5 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 2287280 blocks [_NEC DVD_RW ND-3530A] -------------------------------------------------------------- 1:19:32 #11 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1051 Prepare recorder [_NEC DVD_RW ND-3530A] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

But this "Burn Process Failed at 8X" is really getting on my nerve, as I have changed the burn speed to 6x already. Can anyone help me on this? Please? Many Thanks! Michael
Enable DMA. Looks like a little much going on here, try to keep some memory free during the burning process. That's awfully close to the edge of the disc. Try to keep your target output size between 4300 and 4400MB.
Thanks! But I have tried to cut the backup data to 4250MB and it still didn't work. =( I have checked the DMA and they are all turned on. I even followed the steps in http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070626084150AAjQoc9 and double-confirm both devices on Primary and Secondary IDE Channels are "DMA if Available". So I don't know why Nero thinks it's off. The firmware I have is 3.01, so I think it's more updated than 1.04c, right? Moreover, when I tried to flash it with 1.04c, the system says "Target NEC ND-3530A is not found correctly". What is the best available memory you suggest? How do I check my memory usage anyway? Thanks in advance once again! Michael
