Your log looks pretty clean, except 3 things below. Your burner's firmware version is too old, it needs to update to the latest, it's current is BYS3 http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1944 but it doesn't have the "zip file download" at rpc forum, so you'll have to go to sony's site at http://sony.storagesupport.com and get it. Nero is too old, it needs to update to the latest 6.6.0.18 This is a little too close to the edge, try to customize to at least 4400MB.
