The problem I have is that my DVD burner on my Laptop won't burn DVD's but will burn CD's fine. I have tried using DVD Decryter, Nero, and Roxio all with the same results, "Please insert blank media". If I insert the same disk into my desktop machine it burns fine using DVD Decryter, (I have no other burning software on my Desktop machine)so media is blank. The Media according to DVD Decryter is "RITEKG04" Have you got any ideas how to resolve this. Please let me know if you require more information.

Hi. There's a slighter newer firmware, version 103C available for your burner here: http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=2114 Have you tried different media? NEC burners usually love Verbatim media and it's of high quality. Laptop burners are often finicky. Have you tried burning your ISOs with ImgBurn instead? It's free and a most excellent program. http://www.imgburn.com Have you updated to version 6.6.0.18 of Nero? 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 I'd update the firmware and try ImgBurn. I'd also try a different brand of media like Verbatim if you continue to have a problem.
Hi there Sorry for not replying straight away (work Commitments). I have downloaded the Nero updates and ImgBurn and the firmware. First of all I flashed the new firmware that didn’t work, then installed all the updates for Nero and ImgBurn. At this moment I have only burnt an ISO file that contains data, and this burned ok. I had problems with both buffers at 90% they were both doing an impress of the light on the front of the car in Knight Rider but ImgBurn cope with that fine. So all together so far so good. I haven’t burnt anything directly from nero yet. Hopefully this wasn't a lucky burn. Will post again if Nero works Many thanks laddyboy.
