I have been having promblems with burning a DVD using Nero. This happened after I attempted to backup Bewitched. I noted that there was an exe on the root of the DVD. Here is the log. What does this mean?

Your DMA is off, here is a link that will show you a way to turn it back on: http://www.burstcopy.com/dma/xp/ You shouldn't be multi-tasking while you're burning, close all uneeded apps via task manager. {quote]10:04:49 PM #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 270 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB) Last address to be written: 2286111 (508:01.36, 4465MB)[/quote] You are writing too close to the edge of the disc, write no further than 4300MB.
