HELP!! - Did everything that I was asked to ...yet the ERROR persists!!

(You want your video to be playable for years to come,)
Try the following simple but important solutions.

1)Use a higher quality media.

The media you are using AML is about as worse as you can get .

2)Use DVD+R and booktype to dvd-rom (If possible on your setup.)

3)Burn no more than 1/2 the maximum speed of the disc.


http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm

The following list is in preference order. The best discs are near the top of the list. The discs at
the bottom of the list are suitable only for a landfill.

Almost flawless burns with 95-100% reliable results:
PVC = Pioneer = (-R)(-RW)
MXLRG01, MXLRG02 = Maxell = (-R) ... be aware of unbranded fakes
MCC = Mitsubishi Chemicals = (-R)<-----------------VERBATIM MY CHOICE #1
TDKG02 = TDK Corp = (-R) ... be aware of unbranded fakes
TAIYOYUDEN or YUDEN = Taiyo Yuden = (-R)<--------------FUJIFILM (made in japan) MY CHOICE #2
.........

Also using +r media and booktyping to DVD-ROM,
Will increase compatibility on older stand alone players.

 

Here is a logfile after I tried burning with a high quality Disk ..

This version of Nero is "buggy", uninstall, run this clean tool
http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/en/Clean_Tools.html and then install this older more stable version, both packages
http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe

Package 2
http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/NVE-3.1.0.21_no_yt.exe
BTW You had the good version of Nero installed and then you changed to 6.6.1.4.

 

Binkie ....my frustrations reached the zenith and I went and bought the Roxio Media Creator. Now things are much more smoother.
However, I am not sure what the problems are really. With Roxio I am able to burn with all the programs running as well as with different devicec connected.
I do miss the 'easiness' of NERO though!!
