You are burning too slowly, burn at 4x or 8x with good media. Also Those disks are poor. Use Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden or Ritek disks. If you use any of those, then you can burn up to 12x.
cheers guys, i'll look into changing the discs...thanks for the removal, didn't know it was there oop's
Looked into nero write speed and the only speeds i see are X1 / X2 and X 2.4, am i missing something?
Nah, mine does that too. I think you should have "max", "2.4x", "2x" and "1x". Select max and it should burn at max speed.
Have you changed disks? Also, try uninstalling your drive in hardware manager and then rebooting windows.
your drive doesn't like your disk: [bold] 1:42:53 PM #23 CDR -1046 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1799 Illegal disc D: _NEC DVD_RW ND-3530A[/bold] I checked your firmware for your drive...... the latest firmware shows 1.04C and you have 2.01. http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Firmware/SingleModel.aspx?DriveId=1105 how old is your computer? is it a DELL?
I was going to reccomend a firmware update, but the two version don't seem similar to each other, "2.01" and "1.04C". Looks like he'd be going backwards in firmware lol. Edit: His PC is a Dell. http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/storage/P90574/en/index.htm This may be of use to you too. http://www.cdrinfo.com/forum/tm.asp?m=106604
not really.... the reason why I asked if he had a DELL because the firmware says [bold] for DELL computers only[/bold]
Yeah I realise that, it was a joke... I checked the site (i used http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_all.php) and it didn't mention his firmware, so i presumed the version he had was different, because on the site i checked, there is no mention of

Ok, the comp is about a year old ansd is a dell, i've only updated the sound and gfx cards on this thing, i can burn dvd=rw and cd-r just fine, it's these dvd-r discs that give me hassle although the hardware is able to burn dvd-r. So where do i find this firmware? or shoud i leave it as is and just go get different discs?
