I have Nero Recode 2CE and twice the burn process failed. I am using a Sony DRU-500A recorder. The error log is listed below. Any help would be deeply appreciated.

@mhl1959 First let's edit out that serial # - don't want someone else using it! It located 2x in the log under these Burning 5 files with total size of 1893244671 bytes on hard disk & Leonidov It's the 1A #. Your firmware is up to date but your burner isn't liking those Fuji disc. Try Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim. Your drive not liking the media is one reason for a power calibration error - here's the rest of the reason for the error you received: *Check your power connectors, loose connections do occur. Don't share power with other devices. It needs its own power connector. If the errors occurs with an external recorder, Check the USB cable and connections. * Try different configurations, such as taking the DVD-ROM to the primary IDE bus as slave and have only the recorder connected to the secondary IDE bus as master. * Clean or have your DVD burner serviced. There are cleaning kits available. Sometimes just a gentle appplication of canned air can remove dust blocking the laser. *Replace the DVD burner.
Thanks, I'll try that. Maybe I should try a different burner other than Nero. Can you recommend another good one or better than Nero ?
There is always good old DVD Shrink: http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd_shrink.cfm and if you wanted to burn with shrink, and not use nero, you would need DVD Decrypter, or Imageburn. Decrypter http://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/ Imageburn http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/imgburn.cfm Also CloneDVD2 along with AnyDVD are two great programs that make backing up movies effortless: http://www.slysoft.com/en/
