Hello! This is a brand new problem, as I have been burning perfect discs with Nero 6.6.1.4 for quite awhile. In addition, DUAL-LAYER discs work perfectly. Here is my log: Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 11/2/2004 12:54:32 PM NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 6.6.1.4 Internal Version: 6, 6, 1, 4d (Nero Express) Recorder: <SONY DVD RW DRU-720A> Version: JY08 - HA 1 TA 1 - 6.6.1.4 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

Nero 6.6.1.4 This version of Nero contains some bugs, uninstall, run this clean tool http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/en/Clean_Tools.html and then install this 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 I am not a fan of Ritek discs, you may like to slow burn to 4X You have Roxio installed, it clashes with Nero, to remove, run this zapper http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml
Thanks! Downloading all of it now. It just seems weird that dual-layer discs work perfectly... Cheers, Patrick
