Hello, some of you probably remember me from before, I was asking this same question. Well I obviously could not fix it as I am posting again. So here is the problem : For whatever reason, I cannot burn any form of DVD image or any thing else in DVD mode. I use Nero, the latest version, but it also gives me an error with Alcohol 120%. Awhile ago it used to work fine, but for some random reason it stopped working. If I try to burn any form of CD it works, including cloneing disks and burning CD images. However, the other day I was able to burn something in DVD ISO mode with Nero, yet it still refuses to burn actual images (even if they are ISOs). Here is my log.

I'm not familiar with Ram drives, and I see you are using +RW blanks...my question is are Ram drives multi format do need specific media?
Your burner firmware is 3 behind current is A304. http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?category=4&manufactor=16
@arniebear Fri Oct 29, 2004 3:34 am LG/HLDS GSA-4163B HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B - A101, A102, A103, A104, A105 / (NEC OEM) AN16 Beta region free (RPC-1) firmware is available here. Patched by The Dangerous Brothers. RPC-2 Edited by: Arzeno Last update: Sat Sep 03, 2005 10:43 am This is the printout for my burner. I have ver A105. My question is is the (NEC OEM) AN16 for a NEC? and not my LG? Thanks for helping me to understand.
The 1.05 is your drive, the NEC is for a rebadged LG drive it does not pertain to you. You just go by what your drives firmware is since yours has 1.0xxx then you go by that.
