Firstly sorry about the serial numbers thought they only appeared at the start of the log file, will be more careful next time. Thanks Ok tried to do as you suggested when I did the simulated burn a error message came up saying that simulation not possible with this type of disc, here is the log. I am trying to burn AB Fab series 1, I successfully copied 'Willow' using rip it 4 me, DVD Fab and Nero recode and the copy is fine. I have just tried to copy again using recode and that failed have posted this log as well under the log for nero express Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.8.5.0 Internal Version: 7, 8, 5, 0 (Nero Express) Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GWA-4166B>Version: 1I24 - HA 1 TA 0 - 7.8.5.0 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

About all you can do now is try a different burning program. It looks to me like your burner has "problems". You could try getting the Verbatim but from your log I see that your burner is confusing Nero. I doubt a media change would help. There is no reason Nero would insist on +R media unless it thought that that was all your burner was capable of handling. Just so you know, there are not differences in video files that would require one format over the other. All I see is that your burner/media was working and now it does not. We looked at Nero and your media and I think that is all good. All that's left is the burner. Get a new internal burner rather than an external one.
ok thanks for the help is there a particular brand/make of burner that you would recommend Why do you think it was ok burning one of my original DVD's and trouble with the others? Sorry just find it all a bit baffling!
What makes me think it's your burner is... 1. The "No seek complete" error. 2. The fact that Nero can't recognize your burner as capable of burning -R media. It still could be a media issue. Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden are the gold standard for DVD media so I'd like to see you try one of those. TDK are supposed to be OK, I don't trust them like I do the Verbs and T-Ys. Before we condemn your burner to hell, I'd like you to try and burn something that you have done before. 2. Take Nero out of the picture by: Ripping a DVD you've done before with RipIt4Me/Decrypter. Compress with Shrink and them use Shrink to autoburn by selecting ISO and burn with Decrypter in the burn settings. Let me know if you need help doing this. If Decrypter has a problem with your burner, with a movie you've done before, I'd be pretty sure your burner is bad. Especially if you were using Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden blanks. FYI, Here is a very excellent Lite-On burner: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106055 I have the SATA version of this and really like it. Finally, I wouldn't be surprised if it's something caused by the newer encryptions. They can cause some odd things to happen, even after a successful rip. I've never seen one cause a burner to not be recognized properly though.
How do I set shrink to autoburn? Nero definately not happy! If you could just point me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks for taking the time to help
I am trying to burn an image using Nero 7.7, and have never had a problem before. I tried this morning and when it gets to 100%, I get a burn error. I am running winxp if that helps, and using the same discs I have always used. Also, I am not getting errors on any other format (ie. audio discs, DVD, data discs, etc) except for burning image files.

I forgot to mention that I burnt a CD ok using Nero Burning ROM, so the burner seems to be burning at least and Nero is letting me copy a CD and burn, do you think it could be in the initial set up of RIPit4me, I might just uninstall everything a restart again. I did try doing the DVD with Shrink as you suggested but when it came to burning came up with this erroe I/O Error! Device [0:0:0] HL-DT-ST-DVDRW-GWA-4166B 1124(E)(ATA) ScsiStatus 0 x 02 Interpretation: Check Condition CDB 2A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 Interpretation: Write(10) - Sectors: 0-31 Sense Area: 70 00 03 00 00 00 00 0E 00 00 00 00 0C 80 00 00 00 00 Interpretation: Unknown (write error)(0 x 0C, 0 X 80) So hope this makes sense to someone I am kind of guessing it must be my burner???
Just thought I would bring you up to speed, I have purchased a samsung dvd writer and installed it as my slave drive have been burning well, using my original burner with rip it 4 me as when I tried to used the samsung got some error message similar to before, might be a case that I just need to tweek it but will work that out, so buring using nero 7 and recode and all working fine. Thanks for all the help and suggestions.
