Burning Problem

Recently Nero suddenly started acting strange. At 1% it would stop burning and say "illegal-disc" or "writing short lead out". I have uninstalled Nero a few times already and just formatted the computer but the same problem just seems to be happening. I thought it was the new BenQ discs we bought so we bought a different brand and it is still experiencing "illegal disc"

I was hoping someone can identify the problem I'm experiencing? Thank you for your time it is greatly appreciated.

Looks like you media is low quality.

http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm

The firmware on your drive needs an update.

 

Your version of Nero is really old, try these links for an update (BOTH) Package 1:
http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe
Package 2:
http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/NVE-3.1.0.21_no_yt.exe

Latest firmware is CSOT from here

http://www.liteonit.com/DOWNLOADS/ODD/SOHW-1653S/firmware/DR16CS0T.zip

These are horrible discs, try Verbatim or Sony (made in japan)

 

thank you saltgrass and gwendolin! my burner is working perfectly now, thanks so much greatly appreciated =D!
