Guys I have been burning DVD's for some time with great success until recently. I use DVD Shrink and Nero but now Nero won't get past Disc at Once. I get the error message could not perform end of disc at once and then the burn fails. I have tried the following media with the same problem, SONY, Princo, Ritek and imation. Can anyone help me oput or do I need a new burner. This one is less than one year old. Thanks in advance Here is a copy of the error message Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.68, size=160016 bytes, created 22/07/2004 5:33:44 PM Nero version: 6.3.1.25 Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4081B>Version: A104 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.3.1.25 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4081B>Version: A104 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.3.1.25 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : ST3120026A atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4081B atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : LITE-ON LTR-32123S atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : FvF-Inc CDDVD-2003-200x 0800 FVDSCSI Port 3 ID 0 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4081 E: CDRom0 LITE-ON LTR-32123S D: CDRom1 FvF-Inc CDDVD-2003-200x F: CDRom2 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 1023MB (1048048kB) Free physical memory: 570MB (584316kB) Memory in use : 44 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Static Write Speed Table: 0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 6.10.2004 UDF/ISO compilation 12:53:15 PM #1 Phase 112 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1855 DVD-Video files reallocation started 12:53:15 PM #2 Phase 114 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1855 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 12:53:15 PM #3 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6083 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet :FALSE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : TRUE Allow more than 255 characters in path : TRUE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 12:53:15 PM #4 Phase 111 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1855 DVD-Video files sorted 12:53:15 PM #5 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 126 Reader running 12:53:15 PM #6 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 124 Writer HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4081B running 12:53:15 PM #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3899 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 12:53:15 PM #8 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3899 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 12:53:15 PM #9 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3152 Turn on Disc-at-once, using DVD media 12:53:15 PM #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 247 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB) Last address to be written: 2286079 (508:01.04, 4464MB) 12:53:15 PM #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 259 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 12:53:15 PM #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2162 Recorder: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4081B, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: SONY04 - D1 Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 12:53:15 PM #13 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 420 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 12:53:15 PM #14 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 813 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 (CTransferItem) 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 2286080 (2286080) = #2286080/508:1.5 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 2286080 blocks [HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4081B] -------------------------------------------------------------- 12:53:15 PM #15 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 984 Prepare recorder [HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4081B] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

You are getting a 'Write Error'. I would recommend trying a slower write speed and/or different brand of DVD Media. Dust on the media or optical head can cause this as well. Or if the recorder is in an area with poor airflow, overheating can be an issue. Do you have the latest firmware for your recorder? Regards, Craig Ahead Software USA
Craig Thanks fdor the reply, I have tried different media and I have the latest firmware for my Burner but still having the same problem even after slowing down the speed to 2x. I have sent the same error message to LG to see what they have to say, but I think I will be looking at a new burner. Can nero burn dvds on the fly as this one still reads dvds ok. Geoff
Yes, Nero can burn DVDs on the fly, but when you start seeing issues, it's best to write to the hard drive first, and then burn to DVD. Regards, Craig Ahead Software USA
Geoff - try downloading and installing this and try again: http://www.clonecd.net/aspi.htm You may have a corrupted aspi layer which this will fix (perfectly safe to install).
Discmania I downloaded the ASPI file as suggested and then ran the aspichk and this is what I see.

The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close" to terminate the application. It then gives me the option of close or ignore, both do nothing but close the application. Any furhter info would me muchly appreciated. Thanks Geoff
From the read out it seems you don't even have winaspi.dll file installed. This could indeed be the problem. Go here, scroll down, download and install the winaspi32.dll file: http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/index.shtml Then just try using Shrink/Nero again.
Discmania Thanks for all the help but after doing what you suggested witht he winaspi32.dll the same problem still exists. I think I will just buy a new burner and use this one for reading only and burning CD's when I need to. Once again thanks, this is a great site for info. Geoff
You could try uninstalling and re-installing Nero first to see if that makes any difference. Good luck.
Thanks Discmania I already tried re installing Nero and DVD Shrink and still same problem. I have bitten the bullet and bought myself a Pioneer 108D DL Burner and all is working just dandy now, back to burning again. Geoff
In my thread http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/116563 I explain a similar, if not identical problem. I believe it happened when I tried to originally update Nero. For me it seems unrelated to media (as I used to use the same stack 100% reliably), ASPI layer update, firmware updates, and nero upgrades don't help either. Nothing works for me. It's unfortunate the only solution you found was to buy a new burner. Is there no better alternative?
Hi Khowland, His solution is not nessacarily your solution as he may have actually had a defective recorder. Did you try a third party software, just to rule the software out as the possible cause, or confirm that it is the cause? There are a number that users on this forum can recommend. I would recommend one that is a Free Demo such as www.ntius.com or similar programs that offer a free Demo. Regards, Craig Ahead Software USA
