i was gonna close the thread as it's getting longer and longer but what the hell, i and others always refer back to it so let's make it a sticky...
Hi There. I`ve worked my way through quite a lot of pages now. Finally I landed here. I had installed DVDShrink and my couldn`t burn any CDs/DVDs after that. So I deinstalled it again, but that didn`t help. My Nero log: Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.60 (1021), size=45056 bytes, created 10.09.1999 12:06:00 ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Programme\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.68, size=160016 bytes, created 22.07.2004 17:33:44 Nero Version: 6.3.1.25 (Nero Express) Recorder: <TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L532A>Version: TI51 - HA 0 TA 1 - 6.3.1.25 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 0 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L532A>Version: TI51 - HA 0 TA 1 - 6.3.1.25 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 0 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : FUJITSU MHV2100AT atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L532A atapi Port 0 ID 1 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L532 E: CDRom0 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 1023MB (1047856kB) Free physical memory: 555MB (568772kB) Memory in use : 45 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Static Write Speed Table: 0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 25.4.2006 CD-ROM (ISO) 20:50:35 #1 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6083 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : TRUE Write : FALSE Finalize CD : FALSE Multisession : TRUE Multisession type: : Start multisession Burning mode : TAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet : TRUE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : TRUE Allow more than 255 characters in path : TRUE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 20:50:35 #2 Phase 89 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1855 Super Link activated 20:50:36 #3 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 126 Reader running 20:50:36 #4 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 124 Writer TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L532A running 20:50:36 #5 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3899 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 20:50:36 #6 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3152 Turn on Track-at-Once, using CD-R/RW media 20:50:36 #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 247 Last possible write address on media: 359848 ( 79:59.73) Last address to be written: 30549 ( 6:49.24) 20:50:36 #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 259 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 20:50:36 #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2162 Recorder: TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L532A; CDR code: 00 97 27 18; OSJ entry from: Plasmon Data systems Ltd.

Hi Lavron, sorry to take so long to respond to your post... Your Nero is a little old and needs updating...try 6.6.0.18 here: http://httpdl2.usw.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18.exe Nero's own InCD package steps all over it's own toes, remove Nero in it's entirety from your system and reinstall omitting the InCD packet. Use the General clean tool, Registry checker and driver cleantool and the Nero 6 clean tool...Use all 3 and then reinstall. http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/Clean_Tools.html
after all of this the problem was the disks but after going through all of the eeprom stuff and reseting the learnt media and all. my dvd writer will no longer recognize my burnt dvd+r's is there anyway that i can make it recognise them again. i reupdated the firmwarte reset learnt media back to the original and still nothing. One error after another this time. Regards Ben P.S. Please HELP!!!
@h3x3n Which discs aren't recognized, the newly burnt discs or the ones that were burnt before you switched media? If it the old brand, then you may never be able to recover the data that is on them...chalk it up to a lesson learned about quality media. @vfusco Sorry, but it seems that your log got overlooked in all the excitement...Here is your problem CMC Mags are some of the worst media you can buy, more people have problems with these discs than from any other manufacturer. My suggestion would be to try better quality discs from Verbatim (Japanese or Taiwanese) or Taiyo Yuden, Sony, Fuji, Maxell ( all made in Japan). You also have very little resources left to accomplish your task, this shouldn't have anything to do with your -R problem...but anyway, no multitasking. You are attempting to burn too close to the edge of the disc, set your target size in Recode or DVD Shrink (whichever you use) to 4300. I don't really see anything else dangerously wrong with your log, except may your Nero is a little dated...but it's the same version that I use, and I have no problems with it. If you want to update it, here is a link: http://ww2.nero.com/nero7/enu/nero7-up.php#opt2
@LOCOENG Thanks for the sorry and sad news. i guess that will teach me to buy crappy media if you can recommend some media that i should get it would be great it could also help out a few other people that have had this problem. Thanks
[bold]EVERYONE LISTEN up, i have been reading a lot of what people are typing and all i have to say is, are you guys using MEMOREX 16X???? because if so theres ur problem!!! i was wondering why all my other dvds worked except memorex, but this dvd only works with my other computer (a memorex DVD-RW drive)[/bold]
@john5 - even though your sig picture isn't showing correctly, i've seen it and it's far too big for the forums, pls see the signature section in the Forum Rules in my sig for size requirements..

I've heard some things about Kodak discs, but all that really needs to be said is that they aren't making them anymore...try some Verbatim (MIJ or MIT) or Taiyo Yuden, Sony, Fuji, Maxell (MIJ). You could also try to bring your burn speed up to 4X. Burning too slow can sometimes give errors the same as burning too fast. Firmware is up to date, solid version of Nero...I think a simple media switch will cure your woes. Good luck and happy burning.
I have been reading through this forum for a while trying to fix it up and all though the help has been fantastic it has not ultimately helped but i made a call to a friend at the lo0cal pc shop to ask his opinion and he gave me some advice that worked nbow i dont have a problem and it has to do with nero. first of all uninstall nero fully then from there download RegScrupXP install and run fully then fix all of the problems after that has finished restart your pc and reinstall nero. once done that try it again i know it worked for me and 3 other computers i am working on so it cant hurt to try. Hope this helps. h3x3n
@h3x3n Glad you got it sorted and sorry my advice to you was a bit spotty. Many members who help at AD suggest running a registry cleaner when uninstalling Nero but I usually don't. Now perhaps I will start suggesting the same. Thanks for the info.
@Loecoeng your advice was far from spotty but yeah a simple thing like doing a registry clean was the be all and end all to illegal disk. But i did not think that it would be so easy in the end. But you did a great job directing people to fixing this problem so dont count yourself out on that regard. Cheers mate. h3x3n
