Hi, I'm using Nero to make dvd videos from .avi files. After burning and putting them in the DVD player, at certain instances a loud horn like noise will happen and the chapter will be unplayable.I am using Nero OEM 6.6.0.16 and my media is Ridata 8x dvd-r discs. I also burn at the slowest speed possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated
let's have LAST section of your Nero log which lives in c:\program files\ahead\nero\nerohistory.log but DO NOT post your serial number which usually begins with '1A21' or similar. You can differentiate sections via this section divider "====== *** Nero-Burning Rom, History File *** ======"
- this is the line that separates the sections of logfile. as you've pasted the whole logfile, your serial number has sneaked in a few times. - EDIT OUT the serial numbers.. - firmware's a little out of date, 1.03 is here - http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=2109 - DMA needs to be ON, fix via this - http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/FAQ.htm - 512MB is sufficient but you've got to close down more programs prior to all DVD work - these should be very good discs - according to this paragraph your ATAPI drivers aren't loaded correctly (they're not listed here). Following the DMA fix detailed above will remedy this
Ok, the loud noise is gone, but it seems like I am still having problems. Sometimes I will get a good copy with no problems, other times it will be pixelated at points and the soundtrack isnt in sync with the video. I have upgraded to Nero 7 Ultra Edition. I will go ahead and include the last section of the log file: 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 10/26/2004 5:35:34 PM Nero API version: 6.6.0.16 Using interface version: 6.6.0.10 Installed in: C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\ Application: ahead\NeroVision Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 16b Recorder: <_NEC DVD_RW ND-3540A> Version: 1.03 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.16 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : ST3120020A atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : _NEC DVD_RW ND-3540A atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8161B atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === _NEC DVD_RW ND-3540A E: CDRom0 HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8161B F: CDRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 0 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 74448896 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 511MB (523756kB) Free physical memory: 118MB (121540kB) Memory in use : 76 Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 31.10.2005 NeroAPI 1:57:37 AM #1 Phase 111 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 276 DVD-Video files sorted 1:57:37 AM #2 Text 0 File DVDR.cpp, Line 6262 Book Type counter: 500, Book Type selected in EEPROM, command version 2 1:57:37 AM #3 Text 0 File DVDR.cpp, Line 6262 Book Type counter: 500, Book Type selected in EEPROM, command version 2 1:57:37 AM #4 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 1:57:37 AM #5 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer _NEC DVD_RW ND-3540A running 1:57:37 AM #6 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 1:57:37 AM #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 1:57:37 AM #8 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3233 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 1:57:37 AM #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 270 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB) Last address to be written: 1621423 (360:18.73, 3166MB) 1:57:37 AM #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 282 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 1:57:38 AM #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2483 Recorder: _NEC DVD_RW ND-3540A, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: RITEKG - 05 Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 1:57:38 AM #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 448 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 1:57:38 AM #13 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 + 1621424 (1621424) = #1621424/360:18.74 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 1621424 blocks [_NEC DVD_RW ND-3540A] -------------------------------------------------------------- 1:57:38 AM #14 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1051 Prepare recorder [_NEC DVD_RW ND-3540A] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

- try 4x for the burns... however this sounds more like a problem external to Nero in your case (burn speed may still be an issue though) ie it sounds more likely that the problem is with whatever program you're using to convert the avi's. in particular the sync problem sounds like an AVI conversion problem, not a Nero burning problem...
Using Nero to encode then burn. Do you suggest using another program to encode then using Nero to burn?
'possibly'. is it Recode or Nerovision you're using; this kind of problem is exremely common.. are the original AVI files free from pixelation etc ?. it may be worth looking at a log from an encode process... need to rule out if the encoding process is at fault..
