Hi. I'm not computer savvy but I'll try my best to describe the problems I'm having. I'm want to burn a lot of data off my computer onto DVD but my burner doesn't seem to like DVD-R (worked fine with DVD+R). Rarely does it successfully burn and I've tried using Nero and Sonic RecordNow (better success with Nero). I have the Nero 7.0.82 Demo version installed and I think the problem has to do with the second buffer bar (with the lead-in stuff) because it never starts when it fails. I've also updated my firmware. It's driving me nuts. Here is a log of the last time I tried to burn. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

You are using a lot of memory, dont multitask while burning, turn off all unnecessary programs including spyware. This is way too fast, slow to 4X You have Roxio installed, it conflicts with Nero and it is recommended you run this zapper to remove it http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml
