Your version of Nero is outdated, latest version is 7.10.1.0...suggest an update Firmware also could use update to DL13 from here http://lgodd.lge.com/fwdrv/DVD-WRITER/GSA4167DL13.exe These are poor quality discs, try Verbatim or Sony (made in Japan)
No I mean 7.10.1.0.....there IS a version 8 out at the moment but to upgrade to that version you are going to have to part with some $$$$'s...the update to 7.10.1.0 is free, all you need is your current serial number.
