I have had problems burning dvd's with nero of late and i dont know if something is conflicting with the software. I decrypt the dvd then shrink it with dvd shrink and then proceed to burn it thru nero and i get an error 20 - 30% whilst burning I have tried to fix it by the process of elimination. Which includes latest versions of decypter, dvd shrink and nero. Firmware for the burner is up to date, windows is updated, the media i have is fine. Tried slowing down the burning process Have aspi installed, DMC is also enabled. This is the report i get from nero on the burn error .

Bye. Existing drivers: Registry Keys: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WinLogon\AllocateCDROMs : 0 (Security Option) it is driving me cravy....if any can give me a few pointers i would gladly appreciate it
TDK media have been known to cause probs Disc Manufacturer: TDK601 - saku Sense Key: 0x03 (KEY_MEDIUM_ERROR) use quality media, good choices are verbatim, taiyo yuden, sony peace
So is that the problem why the burns are bad...i have a bad batch of 50 dvd-r ....grrrrr 50 coaster....oh what joy!
@Bigfatboy http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm mentions TDK, but in a positive light, i.e. as first class media. Is it the particular (TDK601 - saku) coding which is bad? Also see some opinions here: http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia.p...&hits=25&country=&search=Search+or+List+Media
...also... - try erasing the discs first ? - being as you're using Nero 6.x, the ATAPI drivers are supposed to be listed in this section, fix via this - http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/FAQ.htm
