I have the latest firmware and nero version. I'm using Taiyo Yuden 8x Speed 4.7GB DVD-R. I've tried all burn speeds and several other types of DVDs all resulting in the same result. Here is my Log: Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.71 (0002), size=45056 bytes, created 7/16/2002 8:03:20 PM ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 11/2/2004 12:54:32 PM NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 6.6.1.4 Internal Version: 6, 6, 1, 4d Recorder: <SONY DVD RW DRU-800A> Version: KY06 - HA 1 TA 1 - 6.6.1.4 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

This version of Nero has a few bugs, I would uninstall, run Nero general clean tool and install this bug free version http://httpdl2.usw.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18.exe http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18.exe I would slow burn speed to 4X, not much wrong here so I think change to Nero may help.
