Hi, I am having problems with dvd shrink and nero, I bought this new computer in January, and everything worked well until approximately 3 weeks ago when I had a major crash. After setting it all back up again, I can now no longer get dvd shrink/ nero to burn dvds. I have read many of the threads and tried a variety of things to no avail. The cdrw works well if I burn using VSO DivxToDVD. I cannot resolve this problem myself and hope someone may be able to help me. I have wasted another disc just to get the error message, and would greatly appreciate any advice on offer. I hope I have posted this in the right place, here is the read out after a disc burning failure. Thanking you in advance.

Hello. The burner isn't recognizing the media. There's a considerably newer firmware (KYS4) for your burner here: http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=2097 Click on the firmware number to download to your computer and then double click the downloaded file. This is a driver for Roxio Easy CD Creator which may conflict with Nero's drivers. Uninstall any Roxio software and run the Roxio Zapper below: Earlier versions: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml For Roxio 6: http://kb.roxio.com/content/kb/EE6000061 There are also indications of older versions of Nero mixed in with newer so I suggest you run the Nero 6 Clean Tool and the Nero 6 Driver Clean Tool and then reinstall version 6.6.0.18. http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/us/Nero_6_CleanTool.html http://ww2.nero.com/nero6/us/Driver_CleanTool_and_RegistryChecker.html Version 6.6.0.18: Package 1: http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe Package 2: http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/NVE-3.1.0.21_no_yt.exe Edit: added Be sure the media you are using is good media: Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, or Made in Japan labeled Fuji or Sony.
