    I'm not finding firmware revisions for that drive. Is it new? The version of Nero you are using should be fine, I think that is the version that arniebear is still using. But if you want 6.6.0.18 you can get it here:

    http://httpdl2.usw.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18.exe
    http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18.exe

    As I've said before, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

    You are attempting to write too close to the edge of the disc, when transcoding set your target size to 4300.

    I suspect your choice of media is the culprit. Never heard of that brand...stick with some known quality discs made by Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden or Sony, Fuji, Maxell (made in Japan).

    Yup, your burner doesn't like those discs...see suggestion above.

    Are you selecting this speed to burn at? Just as burning too fast can generate coasters, the same goes for burning too slow...try 4X or 6X.

    DMA should be on for all drives, here is a guide courtesy of alkohol: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038

    You've got plenty of memory with a gig of ram, however you are using most of it somewhere else...no multitasking. I've seen worse, but you can do better.

    Not familiar with these discs, but would suspect they are not great. Try some quality Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden or Sony, Fuji, Maxell (made in Japan).

    The two above messages tell me that the discs you are using are not liked by your burner...see above suggestion.

    Try some different discs, don't multitask, and get your DMA turned on and you should be burning again.

    Thanks LOCOENG. I updated and found some one with disks that weren't baught at a bazzar. It The only thing that Nero didn't like was the Verifying.

    It plays fine, Only one freeze when I selected a different language. But that hasn't happened since.

    LOCOENG, here is a pic of mine trying to set a DMA but unable to:
    [​IMG]

    But anyway, I think the disc has some compatibility issues with the burner, I can't believe I bought it in a 100-pack

    I've tried burning with less memory but to no avail, is there any other alternatives besides buying different media now ? ( works on different media )

    Thanks alot

    @omoikaane

    You are very welcome, glad you got it working. If your compression is high and you are using DVD Shrink use the Deep Analysis and AEC controls when backing up...if your are using Recode, try the Advanced Analysis and High Quality mode (slow recording). These setting could take care of the pausing, stuttering, and pixellation that you may be experiencing.

    Verification shouldn't be necessary, if you don't recieve an error on during the burn and have used the above mentioned controls when transcoding you backup should be perfect.

    Happy burning.

    @gabelee72

    9 times out of ten problems burning are due to cheap media and burning too fast, so the only option you could try is reducing your burn speed to 2.4X or even raise the burn speed to 6X if you get no joy from a lower speed. The other factors that contribute to failed burns are old firmware, DMA has slipped into PIO, and software incompatabilities. Since we've not fixed the DMA problem yet let's not count out the media yet, you might still be able to get a good burn out of them.

    Instead of using Nero to burn lets use Imgburn or DVD Decrypter combined with DVD Shrink for the transoding. If you don't have these proggies I'll provide a link below. All are free programs so it can't hurt to try. How are you ripping the disc to your HDD? Anyway create an ISO image with DVD Shrink and burn with either Imgburn or DVD Decrypter, here they are:

    Get DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter here: http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/software.htm

    Get Imgburn here: http://imgburn.com/index.php?act=download

    If you are using DVDFab or AnyDVD all you will need is DVD Shrink and Imgburn.

    Let me know if you need guides, actually they are on the bbmayo page under guides.

    Another newbie with Illegal Disk. I've been following this thread while trying to determine what has gone wrong with my system. I was burning fine with 7.0.14b and two Lite-On drives, SOHW-1693S and 1673S. Several items in the system changed at about the same time. Upgraded to Nero7 7.0.54, upgraded to Norton Internet Security 2006.

    I purchased the new SHW-160P6S just to be sure it wasn't some hardware glitch.

    I back rev'd to the latest Nero6 with the same results. I cleaned out all the Nero files and installed the OEM v6 that came with the burner. No updates to it and it burned perfectly with all drives.

    I then installed 7.0.14 and the results are listed below.

    I also went back to some archived .ISO files that I have burned dozens of times, DVD demos. No protection or copyright and still got the Illegal Disk.

    I have been burning with Memorex and TDK discs. The 160P6S burned fine at 16X with both when using the old OEM Nero6.

    DMA is on.

    I'm stumpped, frustrated and about ready to format c: and start fresh. Something is interferring with Nero and I can't find it.

    There may be newer firmware for the new Lite-on but both my older units were up to date.

    Nero starts with the leadin and appears to hang but the burner is still burining and after a few minutes give the illegal disk error. When looking at the DVD it has been written 30-50%. I have about 20 coasters in the trash trying to figure this out and up to this point I haven't had a coaster in probably more than a year...

    Thanks,
    Lee

    You were right, there is an update for your drive, current version is PS08: http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_result.php?kaj=1&isces

    These are the TDK's that you state you use along with the Memorex, I'm sure you know what mosts views of Memorex are here at AD and TDK doesn't fall far from that tree. I would suggest a better brand of media such as Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden or Sony, Fuji, Maxell ( made in Japan). But update the firmware first to see if things get straightened out.

    Whoa horsey, that is way too high for those discs...try 4X and work your way up from there when you start getting successful burns.

    Yup, your burner doesn't like those discs...a firmware update may take care of this. Everything else looks peachy.

    The spindle of Memorex (50) was about 1/2 full, the TDK was a fresh one I got for testing. Well I won't argue about the quality and will be upgrading DVDs. I'll try to keep this short.

    Nothing I seemed to do could get me burning. I completely removed 7.0.14 and used the clean tools from Nero. Installed the OEM v6 and burned the .ISO I had been working with, both Memorex and TDK but at 8x.

    I flashed the 160P6 with the latest firmware and removed v6 OEM, then installed 7.0.54. Got the original DVD and ripped it to an ISO again. Same Illegal Disk error when trying to burn with 7.0.54

    Tried an ISO from a movie I had ripped in the past. Same error. Ripped the movie again, AnyDVD and Shrink, AnyDVD DVD Decryptor then Shrink. Same error when burning.

    Tried a different tact, ripped with Recode from 7.0.54 and AnyDVD but ripped to a NRG file.

    The Memorex burned and verified at 12x with no issue, movie plays fine. Could only get 8x out of the TDK and the verify was iffy. The memorex verified smoothly with the reads progressing from 6.5x to 15.1x. After about 50% on the TDK verify the read rates started jumping around but it verified and played.

    The 'crappy' TDK are being returned today, purchased locally. The 12x attempt with the TDK resulted in a partial burn, I don't know what else to call it. Looking at the bottom of the DVD, there were unburned areas.

    I'm sure the two stores I get DVDs from have Maxell and Verbatim. I was very happy with the results I got with the DL Verbatims.

    Bottom line, I still cannot burn a ISO file for some reason but using Recode to produce a NRG file is working fine.

    I will take both your advice and upgrade the DVDs.

    The inability to burn a ISO will remain a mystery for the time being.

    Thanks for the help, I'll be sure to post any new developments.

    Lee

    I almost forgot, downloaded CloneDVD2 and tried to burn one of the ISO files without success. I did not try a fresh rip/burn.

    Since you are willing to experiment, why not try to burn your ISO with Imgburn. It is a free proggy, can be found here: http://www.imgburn.com

    Here is the result with Imgburn... Is there some virus or whatever that attacks ISO files? Actually the logs says the media is bad not the ISO file. This ISO was good in the past, several burns were made from it. I burned several movies last night from the spindle that this DVD came from. Burned at 12x also. If Imgburn will burn from files, I will try that next.

    Thanks,

    Is there a way to save or display the log file from Nero when the burn is complete? I didn't get back in time to copy the log. But that same DVD that failed in the previous posts burned and verified at 8x with Nero 7.0.5.4. Go figure?

    This is your illegal disc, since you won't take my word for it, here is some reading for you:

    http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/262544

    Edit: My Nero asks me if I want to save the log after each burn.

    The problem is not with the ISO, it is the discs you are using. While you may have gotten a few good burns with them, you can always count on some failures with them sooner or later you will get a failure. This is the problem with CMC Mag coded discs, the quality is so sporatic and poor that even if you get a good burn...6 months or better down the road, those discs will start to deteriorate and the dye will break up, leaving you with a useless backup.

    I'll buy a spindle of Maxells or Verbatims today.

    On the log, I'll see if there is a setting I may not have checked.

    Thanks,
    Lee

    If you get the Maxell's make sure the label reads Made in Japan, it doesn't matter for the Verbatims.

    Started a set of 12 hour shifts tonight, might be midweek before I can test new DVDs. The Maxells said Taiwan... and the Verbatims were VERY expensive. I'll try Best Buy. Maybe I shouldn't be so cheap :)

    Checked Nero Burning Rom settings, saw nothing dealing with logs. The only log that appears, disappears at the end of the burn unless there is a problem. ??

    Again, thanks for the help,
    Lee
