I am using nero burning rom. I have a 900mhz 384mb sdram, 80gb computer running windows xp pro. The dvd burner I am using is the LG GSA-4081B Super Multi DVD Rewriter. When i burn dvd-rw that have more then 3 gigs of data in them i get a focus or tracking error right away before the burn starts or half way through the process. What can I do?
heres a log from my latest attempt at burning this time it failed later in the burn because of focus or tracking error.: Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=?.?.?.?, size=30208 bytes, created 11/06/1997 7:01:02 PM ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.59, size=160016 bytes, created 16/12/2003 8:18:06 PM Nero version: 6.3.1.17 Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4081B>Version: A104 - HA 0 TA 1 - 6.3.1.17 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 0 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <PIONEER DVD-ROM DVD-115 >Version: 1.11 - HA 1 TA 1 - 6.3.1.17 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : Maxtor 6Y080L0 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4081B atapi Port 0 ID 1 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8520B atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : PIONEER DVD-ROM DVD-115 atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4081 D: CDRom4 HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8520B E: CDRom1 PIONEER DVD-ROM DVD-115 F: CDRom2 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 57671680 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 383MB (392688kB) Free physical memory: 151MB (155296kB) Memory in use : 60 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Static Write Speed Table: 0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 30.7.2004 ISO compilation 11:56:02 AM #1 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6065 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 11:56:02 AM #2 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 118 Reader running 11:56:02 AM #3 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 124 Writer HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4081B running 11:56:02 AM #4 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3899 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 11:56:02 AM #5 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3172 Turn on Disc-at-once, using DVD media 11:56:03 AM #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 245 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB) Last address to be written: 2150591 (477:54.41, 4200MB) 11:56:03 AM #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 257 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 11:56:03 AM #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2137 Recorder: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4081B, Media type: DVD-RW Disc Manufacturer: Prodis - cDVDRW Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 214 11:56:03 AM #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 418 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 11:56:03 AM #10 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 813 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 (CTransferItem) 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 2150592 (2150592) = #2150592/477:54.42 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 2150592 blocks [HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4081B] -------------------------------------------------------------- 11:56:03 AM #11 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 984 Prepare recorder [HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4081B] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;
