This happened all of a sudden in Nero Burning ROM, where it waits and waits for an empty DVD. Before this, I've been able to make at least 50 burns successfully. I've restarted, reinstalled and used two DVD burners. The last burner I used was the LG 20x super multi DVD rewriter and it gave me one good burn on a DVD-R, but then the next two it kept waiting for an empty DVD (which, of course, I have inserted and many different ones to be sure). The other drive is labled HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GSA-H21N and it is in my Dell Precision 390. What in the world is going on? I'm trying to burn my VIDEO_TS files to make a DVD.
- Run the Nero Driver Clean Tool and Registry Checker. http://www.nero.com/nero7/enu/Clean_Tools.html - Go back to an earlier restore point and try. - Use Device Manager and uninstall both the burner and the communication channel it is installed upon (the exception being don't do it if installed on the same channel as the primary HDD). The burner will be under DVD/CDROM Drives and the communication channel under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers unless you have a RAID controller that the burner is installed upon. Right click on the burner name, select Uninstall and click the following OK. Right click on the comm channel, select Uninstall and click OK. - try a different program like ImgBurn (free). Use the Build mode to output an ISO image file from the DVD folder and then the Write mode to burn the ISO image file you created. http://www.imgburn.com - make sure your burner firmware is up to date. http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_all.php or the vendor's support site - try other media like good quality +R from Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, or any Made in Japan labeled Fuji/Sony.
