I'm not well versed in burning so bear with me. My Matshita burner hasn't worked since I reformatted a couple of months ago. Could anyone help me please? I've shut down almost every program while it burns. This is the logfile from the last attempt at making a data DVD.

This first version of Nero 7 was "buggy", uninstall, run this clean tool, http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/Nero7_CleanTool.html and then install a later version of Nero from here http://www.filehippo.com/download_nero_7_premium/ You have a lot of memory in use, dont multitask while burning. These are horrible discs, try Verbatim or Sony (made in japan) You have Roxio installed, it clashes with Nero, to remove, run this zapper http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml
