Hi, I hope someone here can help me, I'm getting a bit desperate. I own a Sony Vaio VGN-A290 Laptop, with a Sony DVD RW DW-D56A burner that came with it. Until the other day, I always used BenQ DVD-R 4X media, that worked just fine. The other day I purchased a stack of BenQ DVD-R 8X media, and I was unable to burn to them, kept getting the same error message (below is the log file created by Nero). I tried updating nero, and even bought a stack of DVD-R 8X media made by a different firm (Silver Line) but they didn't work either. Sony support say that the burner should be compatible with DVD-R and DVD+R 8X media, but it doesn't seem to be working. As I said, I can burn DVD-R 4X media, but they don't seem to be manufacturing them any more, and I'm on the last ones. Has anyone had this problem? Can you tell me what to do to fix it? this really sucks, and I'm getting more and more frustrated (and wasting money on media that don't work...). I would really appreciate any help you guys can give. Thanks. Here is the error log created by Nero - 1A23-0009-8030-2368-9125-4276 1A23-0609-9130-2251-0668-6845 1A43-0009-4130-2238-8721-9377 1A44-0009-4130-2251-8422-6644 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 26/10/2004 18:35:34 Nero Version: 6.6.0.16 Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 16b Recorder: <SONY DVD RW DW-D56A> Version: PFS3 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.16 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <SONY DVD RW DW-D56A >Version: PFS3 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.16 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : FUJITSU MHU2100AT atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : SONY DVD RW DW-D56A atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === SONY DVD RW DW-D56A E: CDRom0 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 1022MB (1047344kB) Free physical memory: 228MB (233828kB) Memory in use : 77 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 6.11.2005 ISO compilation 22:12:18 #1 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6356 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : FALSE Multisession : TRUE Multisession type: : Start multisession Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet : TRUE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : TRUE Allow more than 255 characters in path : TRUE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 22:12:18 #2 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 22:12:18 #3 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer SONY DVD RW DW-D56A running 22:12:18 #4 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 22:12:18 #5 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3233 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 22:12:18 #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 270 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB) Last address to be written: 2145247 (476:43.22, 4189MB) 22:12:18 #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 282 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 22:12:18 #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2483 Recorder: SONY DVD RW DW-D56A, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: INFOME - DIAR20 Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 22:12:18 #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 448 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 22:12:18 #10 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 838 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 2145248 (2145248) = #2145248/476:43.23 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 2145248 blocks [SONY DVD RW DW-D56A] -------------------------------------------------------------- 22:12:21 #11 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1051 Prepare recorder [SONY DVD RW DW-D56A] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

Edit out you serial numbers, they're all those numbers at the top that start w/ 1A23 Use better media Taiyo Yuden is what I'd reccommend. You have Nero's INCD packet writing installed, you have to get rid of this. To do so you need to download Nero's own cleantool, from there site, to completly rid your system of this. Then you have to reinstall but this time choose to not install INCD.
just passing, and saw this - good grief!, what on earth are those 'things'. need to do some digging, they don't sound, erm, very well known...
Whenever you do a video backup, shut down all unnecesary programs like Virus,Firewall,and whatever other goodies you got that you can easily shut down. If you can get that number up over 500MB free, you'd be a bit better off.
