Hi, I have an HP Laptop, D6000 or something. Windows XP. Anyway in the laptop is a MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-851S. I've been burning dvds for like 18 months now however a few weeks ago I had to reformat and reinstall windows. That also forced me to reinstall Shrink, Decryptor and Nero. However when I went to burn (reading and ripping worked fine) some DVDs again it has not been working. I remember I may of had this problem when I first started burning and I think I used a non-Matshita firmware to trick my computer into thinking I was using a different drive then I was actually using. I can't for the life of me though remember what I did or how i did it. As i said in the subject, I don't think the issue is the media I use since I've been using the same stuff for months now. Does anyone know how to fix the issue? I posted my Shrink burning log below.
