seriously though, i too am having issues with nero and dvd shrink. i had sucessfully burned at least 10 backups before this started happening. i have tried to figure the problem out on my own, did the usual things like update the drivers and update nero. i was even able to burn a working copy of ninja scroll last night but when i tried to make a second copy, it burn errored for the last time. i can't take it anymore. i want to godzilla rampage through the room destroying everything, especially the computer, in my path. but for now, i will turn you all. please help. here are two of the error logs. the first one is the most recent, i tried another movie before i posted this and it messed up again. the second is the error log from the first time it happened. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Error:\nCannot connect TRF 1A20-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000 Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 11/2/2004 12:54:32 PM NT-SPTI used Nero API version: 6.6.1.4 Using interface version: 6.3.1.4 Installed in: C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\ Application: ahead\Nero - Burning Rom Internal Version: 6, 6, 1, 4d Recorder: <PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-110D>Version: 1.39 - HA 1 TA 1 - 6.6.1.4 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2000kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ? === Scsi-Device-Map === CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8162B atapi Port 2 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-110D atapi Port 2 ID 1 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : ST3120022A atapi Port 3 ID 0 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8162B E: CDRom0 PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-110D F: CDRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 66060288 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 447MB (458224kB) Free physical memory: 183MB (187464kB) Memory in use : 59 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 28.2.2006 NeroAPI 2:06:56 PM #1 Phase 112 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 275 DVD-Video files reallocation started 2:06:56 PM #2 Phase 114 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 275 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 2:06:56 PM #3 Phase 111 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 275 DVD-Video files sorted 2:06:57 PM #4 NEROAPI 7 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3095 Error:\nCannot connect TRF. 2:06:57 PM #5 Text 0 File AudioCompilationImpl.cpp, Line 867 DRM: DRM burn session terminated. 2:06:57 PM #6 Text 0 File AudioCompilationImpl.cpp, Line 896 DRM: Closing entire DRM handling.

Welcome to AD. Firstly, please remove your serial #, it is at the top of your log and begins with 1A20. Now, the first mistake you made, which would seem like a good idea, is upgrade Nero...we need to get you back to using 6.6.0.18, 6.6.1.4 has yet to have the wrinkles ironed out as of yet. Clean first with this: http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/eng/General_Clean_Tool.html Then Download version 6.6.0.18 here: http://httpdl2.usw.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18.exe http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18.exe Not familiar with these discs, but suspect that they aren't the best...try some quality discs from Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden, Sony, Fuji, Maxell (made in Japan). Slow it down to 4X and lets see if you can get a successful burn, then you can increase the speed little by little to see what you can get away with. This error means that your burner doesn't like your discs, and since your firmware is most current as listed on RPC1, I would think it is the media. This is another clue that the media is the culprit, there should be some other numbers here other than zeroes, get some different discs.
alright, i did everything as suggested. just for the record, the media i was using were jvc disks. after removing and reinstalling nero, i actually was sucessful in burning one copy last night on the jvc media. my roomate has never had an issue with them, regardless i still went out and bought some sony media earlier today. however even with the new media and burning at 4X speed, i got a new burn error at 59%. thanks again for the time and help! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: -

@tampag8or, Still looks like the burner is having trouble recognizing your media, so it's trying to apply a generic write stratgey, but it's not successful as indicated here: ******************************************************************** Media Specific [16..63]: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ ********************************************************************* Here: ********************************************************* 2:09:51 PM #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2483 Recorder: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-110D, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: SONY08 - D1 Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 *********************************************************** Your using Sony media of the DVD-R variety, these are made in Taiwan, I would suggest you try the DVD+Rs which are made in Japan and see what happens. You can also try and visit the burner's manufacturer's web site and see if they provide a list of tested media for the drive.
As suggested in my first post Sony, Made in Japan....JVC from Big Lots right, they are also crap...LOL
everybody thanks for the help! loco- yes the big lots/jvc media. i'll say this, with his generic mad dog burner, the generic jvc media, and a laptop that doesn't have near 100% of the resources available, he has yet to have a burn issue. as i said in my last post, i have personally changed to sony as per the suggestion but the first sony burn errored at 59%. unfortunately my dvd player is an older model and it only plays dvd-r. also i bought the burner with the expectations of being able to burn both types of media and being restricted to just one type is not cool with me. i'm concluding that it is not a media issue but a faulty burner issue and am in the process of contacting the manufacturer. if anyone has any reason to believe otherwise let me know. thanks again all!
Mad dog has their drives made by other manufacturers, yours in this case is a pioneer. I don't think the Pioneer drives are capable of booktyping, which might solve your compatability issues with your stand alone DVD player. Read my blog on booktyping: http://my.afterdawn.com/locoeng/blog_entry.cfm/217 You can only booktype the +R flavored discs. Edit: After reading again, I see it is your buddy who has no problems. His drive is probably an NEC, which IMHO is a superior drive to the pioneer.
