Using Nero 10 Express to burn cd's, and dvd's of both sizes.I have had no previous problems with burning any discs since I got my pc 10 months ago. The errors started about a month or so ago and at one time occured during burning of 'normal' 4.3 gb discs and dual layer. I don't know why but the burning of normal discs is back to 99% ok but I cannot at present burn dual layer. The dominant message occurs almost at the end of the burn on the second layer and saya PMA Update Failure...could not perform end of disc-at-once. I have tried many things including... different make of discs (I've always used the same high quality Ritek with no previos problems) reloading software trying different Nero..6 and 8 running burn on its own (usually have internet up on Firefox and maybe convertxtodvd or something else running reloading dvd drivers rolling back ati driver uninstalling/re-installing and then finally returning my pc to factory condition (what a pain!) last week I bought a new batch of dual layer discs and the first two burnt ok-this was a shock. I tried to think what I had done before but came up with nothing. The following 20 discs all failed! The following is a recent Nero log of the burn for anyone who understands it. Help would be much appreciated please.

Thanks. Don't know what the Log stuff means either but hoping the Techies do! I tried Imgburn on the 'files to disc' setting 'cos it's Vob files I'm burning but it still died just before finishing.If anyone out there can help I'd be mighty grateful and I can post the Imgburn log if it helps. This is SO silly 'cos I'm burning away like crazy on 4.3gb discs with NO PROBLEM!!??
