I have been burning dvd media for a long time now using anydvd and shrink. I have always used +r media. Recently I received a 25 pack of Verbatim -r discs and everytime it tries to burn, it fails. On copies or originals. Do I need to set something up in preferences with Nero or Shrink? I cannot figure this out. Why cannot I place a movie on these discs? Any of them? Any help is greatly appreciated.... here is the message I get from Nero: 1A20-0218-0370-1725-8155-4331* Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.71 (0002), size=45056 bytes, created 12/20/2003 11:26:59 PM ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.59, size=160016 bytes, created 12/16/2003 9:18:06 PM Nero API version: 6.3.1.11 Using interface version: 6.3.1.4 Installed in: C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\ Application: ahead\Nero - Burning Rom Recorder: <DVDRW DRW-3S163> Version: BSG3 - HA 1 TA 1 - 6.3.1.11 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : via Inquiry data (1) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI Connected to MMC as unknown drive with class-nr : 11 Drive is autodetected - recorder class: DVD+R9 DL recorder === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : Maxtor 6Y080L0 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8162B atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : DVDRW DRW-3S163 atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8162 D: CDRom0 DVDRW DRW-3S163 E: CDRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: CmdQueuing : 1 CmdNotification: 2 WriteBufferSize: 40894464 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 EraseSpeed : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 253MB (260080kB) Free physical memory: 78MB (80812kB) Memory in use : 68 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Static Write Speed Table: 0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 22.4.2005 NeroAPI 9:40:45 PM #1 Phase 112 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 269 DVD-Video files reallocation started 9:40:45 PM #2 Phase 114 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 269 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 9:40:45 PM #3 Phase 111 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 269 DVD-Video files sorted 9:40:45 PM #4 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 118 Reader running 9:40:45 PM #5 Text 0 File AudioCompilationImpl.cpp, Line 817 DRM: StartDrmRecording(RealRec:1, ImageRec:0, Copies:1) DRM: Beginning burn process. 9:40:45 PM #6 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 124 Writer DVDRW DRW-3S163 running 9:40:45 PM #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3899 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 9:40:45 PM #8 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3899 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 9:40:45 PM #9 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3196 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 9:40:46 PM #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 244 Last possible write address on media: 2297887 (510:38.37, 4488MB) Last address to be written: 2286127 (508:01.52, 4465MB) 9:40:46 PM #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 249 Write in overburning mode: FALSE 9:40:46 PM #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2107 Recorder: DVDRW DRW-3S163, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: MCC 03 - RG20 Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 9:40:46 PM #13 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 410 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 9:40:46 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 + 2286128 (2286128) = #2286128/508:1.53 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 2286128 blocks [DVDRW DRW-3S163 ] -------------------------------------------------------------- 9:40:46 PM #15 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 982 Prepare recorder [DVDRW DRW-3S163 ] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

K: Please edit out you serial number from your nero burn log. It's on the top and starts with: A020 xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx. Someone can steal it. Get some good plus format media. Just get the plus in those verbatims that you have. They are very good and can prevent a lot of issues later.Or simply get some maxell + media, they are very good and easily available locally. Office depot and staples have them on sale now. Here's another thing on your log you should change: This is stretching it,even on the finest quality media. Simply reduce that target in dvd shrink: Edit Preferences Click on dvd-5 Scoll until you get to custom In the box beside it: Enter 4360 OK. This will keep you from burned the outer edge of those blank discs. This can cause problems down the road and this simple change to 4360 mbs will prevent a lot of issues. Another tip, keep it at this speed. If you do get some of the newer +8x media like verbatim data life plus-My favorite-/ maxell / sony-fuji 1x-8x,all of those will burn at 12x if I leave my burn settings on max. Those sony +1x-8x will burn at 16x for me on both my benq's. Just keep an eye on this when you get the new plus format media. I didn't see anything else out of the ordinary,so that new media should fix your problem.Just a few tips I listed will help you out,specially the quality media.Avoid the cheap/generic/and store brand name media like compusa and staple's brands.Get the ty/maxell/verbatim/sony-fuji 1x-8x,and ritek = All very good. Sony 4x/1x-4x not so good.
