For months I've backed up many of my dvd's with nero recode and I been using all kinds of dvd+-r's. Lately I bought Sony DVD-R 16x Accucore and when nero gets ready to burn it gives me a message: Illegal Disc. I've also tried dvd shrink...no go. My drive is _NEC DVD+-RW ND-6500A ....firmware version 2.81 What can I do? Here's the log? ********** Nero Recode ********** Version: 2.3.1.8 1C80-0000-19E5-MA2X-4003-0398-3275 Project type: Copy entire DVD Target size: Custom (2252800) 00:21:16 File LangStreamPatcher.cpp, Line 56 Command table patching started... 00:21:16 File LangStreamPatcher.cpp, Line 103 VTS 1 - VTSM_PGCI_UT - LU 1 - PGC 7 patched! 00:21:16 File LangStreamPatcher.cpp, Line 103 VTS 5 - VTS_PGCITI - PGC 1 patched! 00:21:16 File LangStreamPatcher.cpp, Line 135 All tables successfully patched!

Edit out your serial number before someone pirates it. I cant see too much wrong with this log, I have noticed a lot of burn failures from members using version 7.5.1.1 so this may be a cause. You have Roxio installed, it clashes with Nero, to remove, run this zapper http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml
