Hi guys, Recently, I keep on getting errors when trying to burn to a DVD... I've always used Nero, and it's only now that I've been having this kind of problem. 95% of the time, the burning fails, and it doesn't get past the lead-in stage... I've been able to successfully burn 3 DVDs without problem, but the rest of my DVDs keep getting failures. I'm using Arita DVD +Rs. I've used them before with no problem, I don't know why I keep getting coasters this time. This is driving me crazy. Can anyone please help me?

You can update your Nero to a more stable version: http://www.filehippo.com/download_nero_burning_rom/?539 You need to turn on your DMA, here is a nice guide: http://my.afterdawn.com/alkohol/blog_entry.cfm/231/dmaissues
I just want to say thank you for taking the time to respond to my problem. I've just successfully burnt a DVD I thought I just wasted my money, lol. Thanks again! I really appreciate it!
