Hi everyone, this forum looks to be a very helpful one so I was wondering if anyone could be of assistance? I'm using Nero 7.0.8.2 as frequently suggested here, and I'm using pretty good media (Sony DVD+RW, verified by the CDFreak's DVD Identifier) but I can't ever get DVD+Rs to burn, although DVD+RWs burn just fine. I've tried multiple times, all with the same results - the DVD+R will start up barely, and fail very early, maybe at about 2% through. The DVD+RW always burns correctly and cleanly. If it matters, I'm using a Sony DVD+RW laptop drive on a Dell 600m, which is ironic since their Sony DVDs don't work... Attached are my logs; first the Sony DVD+R: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BEGIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 11/2/2004 12:54:32 PM NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.0.8.2 Internal Version: 7, 0, 8, 2 Recorder: <SONY DVD+RW DW-R56A> Version: QDS1 - HA 1 TA 0 - 7.0.8.2 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?
