I am having a problem backing up my DVD's. I have been doing this for a couple of years now and have never had any real problems, an occasional coaster every now and again. My computer recently crashed and had to be restored. I reinstalled needed programs and software and now I can't burn a DVD. I have no problems with CD's. This is very frustrating. I welcome any suggestions. Here is the Nero log that I get every time: Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 10/26/2004 6:35:34 PM Nero API version: 6.6.0.16 Using interface version: 6.3.1.4 Installed in: C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\ Application: ahead\Nero - Burning Rom Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 16b Recorder: < 16X8 DVD DUAL> Version: A080 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.16 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : ST380020A atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : 16X8 DVD DUAL atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : Memorex DVD+R/RW 2.4x8AA atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === 16X8 DVD DUAL D: CDRom0 Memorex DVD+R/RW 2.4x8AA E: CDRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 74448896 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 511MB (523808kB) Free physical memory: 247MB (253456kB) Memory in use : 51 Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 17.8.2005 NeroAPI 11:48:33 PM #1 Phase 112 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 276 DVD-Video files reallocation started 11:48:33 PM #2 Phase 114 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 276 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 11:48:33 PM #3 Phase 111 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 276 DVD-Video files sorted 11:48:34 PM #4 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 11:48:34 PM #5 Text 0 File AudioCompilationImpl.cpp, Line 842 DRM: StartDrmRecording(RealRec:1, ImageRec:0, Copies:1) DRM: Beginning burn process. 11:48:34 PM #6 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer 16X8 DVD DUAL running 11:48:34 PM #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 11:48:34 PM #8 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 11:48:34 PM #9 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3233 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 11:48:34 PM #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 270 Last possible write address on media: 2295103 (510:01.28, 4482MB) Last address to be written: 1834575 (407:41.00, 3583MB) 11:48:34 PM #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 282 Write in overburning mode: NO 11:48:34 PM #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2483 Recorder: 16X8 DVD DUAL, Media type: DVD+R 11:48:34 PM #13 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 448 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 11:48:34 PM #14 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 838 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 1834576 (1834576) = #1834576/407:41.1 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 1834576 blocks [16X8 DVD DUAL] -------------------------------------------------------------- 11:48:34 PM #15 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1051 Prepare recorder [16X8 DVD DUAL] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

@hustler1 - - which one of these is your exact drive ? - http://www.microadvantage.net/support/index.php?class=2 as we can determine if your burner's firmware is out of date or not - DMA needs to be ON. fix via this - http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/FAQ.htm - yup, firmware is out of date, the best your drive can tell is that the disc is a +R disc - drive's having a nightmare. could be just the old firmeare, could well be subpar media too - try 4x, most people recommend 4x - EDIT OUT your serial number
creaky, I tried 4x and got the same thing. My burner is the 16DDVDRW-A13 and I tried the flash update they have on their website, unless I'm doing something wrong. Also I am using the same media brands I have been using for years, unless I'm just starting to have problems with them. HELP!!
ok, you're right, A080 is the latest then. hmmm... - - in this case the media must be newer than the firmware knows what to do with then. try downloading dvd identifier - http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_tools/dvd_identifier.cfm and use it to paste info here re the discs...
creaky, I have 2 DVD burners installed. the other is an older memorex burner and i was just able to burn a disc with no errors using that. The only downside is it only does 2.4X speed (super slow), which is why I purchased the newer 16X Microadvantage. The firmware on the memorex has never been updated. I did turn on all DMA like you suggested.

@Hustler1 - you may well be the poster who tips me over the edge re [bold]CMC Mag[/bold] media, you honestly wouldn't believe how bad those discs are. pls see this from my signature - [bold]..Memorex/CMC - don't let them near your Burner.....[/bold] - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/195438
yup as i say, now we've established your firmware is up to date, the drive still doesn't fully recognise the discs; but the other thing is that you really need decent discs anyway
creaky, It's been a minute since I replied to this thread. I finally had the time to purchase and try some verbatim media. Burned the first disc I tried with no problems. I guess that solved my problem.I have attached a copy of the DVD Identifier results from the new discs.

A few burns is never guarantee of anything, but in your case, good media was the only thing left to tweak, and you got some nice media there. i've only used a few of those ones myself but no issues with them. I've used about 1500 of the 8x ones (mainly -R but a few +R too) and Verbs are fantastic discs.. keep on burning, oh and thanks for reporting back... most people don't..
