"data verification failed"....but data is no DVD

I have never had problems in the past, but today on several occasions I have tried burning a DVD and received an error message stating that "data verification failed" and yet there is data on the DVD and while I haven't check it all, I can view the files on my computer.

Any suggestions on how to correct this problem and if so, could you please put them in terms a novice can understand.

Thanks
Attached is the log.

the symptoms might be a data verification error but your log shows other issues that may also cause this.

Nero Version: 6.6.1.4

not really the best version to have.You could go to 6.6.0.18 which is the last stable version of the 6 series or upgrade to nero 7 series.

Free physical memory: 76MB (78376kB)

You dont have enough free physical memory to complete a burn .You either need to increase your ram by another stick as 76mb left isnt really going to cut the mustard or close down some of those other applications you have running in the background to free up some memory.

Your pc requires a fair bit to achieve the burn sequence but if you have other applications running then it has to allocate a certain amount of your memory resources to accomodate everything.

you are just within the restriction of 4300 thats a plus on your side.

you are using crap media use Verb,Ty or sony MIJ and keep the burn speed at 4x
also unintall incd it only cause trouble.

 

you are using crap media use Verb,Ty or sony MIJ and keep the burn speed at 4x

That statement doesnt hold much water now.I use ritek and once only burnt at 4x.However since upgrading both the disc and pc i now achieve quite a good proportional burn rate at 16 x .

Think its 1 in 10 that fail, thats still very good odds.It doesnt matter whether its data/video/music etc .

 

very astute karen

 

who's drew??????

 

i'm just a fictitious character here to help the newbies, but give credit where credit to one such as you o'lovely one (to much milk and honeyed words) is due.I tend to forget some things in my answers.

By the way does any one know where scubapete is ???????????

 

Thanks to all....I guess that's why I was able to add folders one at a time and burned them, and got "data verification confirmed".

I couldn't find anywhere to update to version 6.6.0.18 on the Nero site. As far as the firmware goes, is that really something that I could do myself with my limited knowledge??

Prehaps a little over my head!

Anyway, I am in the process of cleaning up. I've run Spybot, Adware and Nortons as well as CCleaner. I'll defragment next and hopefully that will help somewhat with the overall use of the computer.

 

JUST be careful what firmware you up date to.I recently had a liteon that was 3 revisions out and after up dating it to the current found i had gone from a 16X +/- to one that would only burn +r at 2.4.So instead of using that had to buy a brand new one as it was then locked.

We wont say who gave us the firmware thats another story

 

Just a bit confused....First, I can't see v6.6.0.18 at the link
you gave me, the closest I see is v6.6.0.16. Second, if there are newer versions available for download, like v7.5.9.0A for example, why wouldn't I download something like that instead
As far as the firmware part, can't decide!

 

The reason we recommend 6.6.0.18, is that as you are using version 6 series of nero that version is the most stable.However if you said money wasnt really an issue i would of suggested the 7 series oem version or higher.

Both work for me without much problem

I uninstalled Nero and ran the Clean Tool. It asked if I wanted to keep Nero 6 serial number and plugin licence. I selected yes. It also asked if I wanted to keep my personal settings, and I select yes. I tried to install v6.6.0.18, but when I get to the installation wizard, it asked for my user name, which is already displayed, the company name, which is blank, and the Serial#, which I got from REGEDIT. I can select to "back" and "cancel", but install is not highlighted, it can't be selected. Should I have said yes to the removal of the Nero 6 serial number and plugin licence? Where do I go from here.

This is ridiculous, if I can't even get this right, do you really think I should tackle the firmware??

Help!!


(just remembered, in REGEDIT, I had a Serial5 and a number as well as Serial 6. I just checked REGEDIT and Serial6 is gone, but Serial 5 is still there. I don't know if this is important or not.)

 

Thanks, it is a extremely slow process, but thanks to forums such as this and people such as yourself, I am learning something new all the time.
However, you might change your mind about me tackling the firmware when you hear why I wasn't able to select "install" from the installation wizard. I used the Nero 5 Clean tool like you suggested and it did remove everything from REGEDIT. I tried installing v6.6.0.18 again and the same thing happened, I was unable to select install.......turns out I was ommitting the - in between the numbers! Entered the serial number with the - included and it seems to work now. Thanks so much to all for their help. I might just try to upgrade the firmware yet!

 

Gave updating the firmware a shot and it was uneventful. Thanks again.
