I'm using the same media I always have.. heres the log: Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 11/2/2004 12:54:32 PM NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.0.1.4 Internal Version: 7, 0, 1, 4 Recorder: <_NEC DVD_RW ND-2510A> Version: 2.04 - HA 1 TA 0 - 7.0.1.4 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

I have just done a check and your burner firmware is way out of date, go here to this link for an update, this should solve your problem. I would also slow your burns to 4X http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1837
Hi. Also, Try to keep the burn size within 4300Mb using DVD Shrink. That's another Gig... You don't really need that... And that's it! Good luck and happy burning...
