Hi jayelem Here's a few suggestions: Direct burning: true Turn off burn at once - let Nero temporarily encode and save the file to a temp directory then it will start the burn. Recorder: <SONY DVD RW DW-D26A> Version: JYS3 Looks like this is an oem drive and the firmware is up to date but no updates for over a year. The burner is a rebadged LiteOn SOHW-1673S. You might want to try using patched firmware and crossflashing to the LiteOn but model SOHW-1693S KC4B if all else fails. Here's some links to help: Link 1 Link 2 File 'Drivers\CDRALW2K.SYS' Nero and Roxio don't always play well so you can uninstall Roxio and run the zap tool to remove all traces.
