hi, I need your help!! Im trying to burn mp3s on a dvd and I get the illegal disc message. I've tried 3 different dvds but its still the same. I've read in the forum that maybe the drive needs to be updated, I've tried to update it through the device manager on my computer but i got a message that no update was found or something like that. I can burn cds though, I don't know whats wrong with the dvds. Can anyone help me?? Please bear in mind that I don't know much about these computer issues thanks! here is the log of the last dvd burning attempt Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\PROGRA~1\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 26/10/2004 6:35:34 μμ Nero Version: 6.6.0.16 Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 16b Recorder: <SONY DVD RW DW-D22A> Version: BYS2 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.16 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <SONY DVD RW DW-D22A >Version: BYS2 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.16 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : ST380011A atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : SONY DVD-ROM DDU1612 atapi Port 0 ID 1 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : SONY DVD RW DW-D22A atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : ST3120022A atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === SONY DVD-ROM DDU1612 G: CDRom0 SONY DVD RW DW-D22A H: CDRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 74448896 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 511MB (523760kB) Free physical memory: 231MB (236556kB) Memory in use : 54 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 19.12.2006 ISO compilation 5:55:57 μμ #1 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6356 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO 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 5:55:57 μμ #2 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 5:55:57 μμ #3 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer SONY DVD RW DW-D22A running 5:55:57 μμ #4 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 5:55:58 μμ #5 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3233 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 5:55:58 μμ #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 270 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB) Last address to be written: 2283455 (507:26.05, 4459MB) 5:55:58 μμ #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 282 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 5:55:58 μμ #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2483 Recorder: SONY DVD RW DW-D22A, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: TTH02 - Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 5:55:58 μμ #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 448 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 5:55:58 μμ #10 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 + 2283456 (2283456) = #2283456/507:26.6 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 2283456 blocks [SONY DVD RW DW-D22A] -------------------------------------------------------------- 5:55:58 μμ #11 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1051 Prepare recorder [SONY DVD RW DW-D22A] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

Update your Nero from here, both packages http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe Package 2 http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/software/Nero6/NVE-3.1.0.21_no_yt.exe The latest version is BYS3, so I would suggest you go to Sony site and update. These arent the best discs, try Verbatim or Sony (made in japan) You are burning too slow.
hi gwendolin, thanks for replying i was searching the forums and anyway I downloaded the ltnfw program and I downloaded the BYS2 because I thought that was the update for the BYS2 version I have, and now the ltnfw says in the status: programming..please wait. How long should I wait? Should I close it and get the BYS3? I read somewhere that its not good to close this program while its operating..sorry for the stupid questions but as I mentioned before I know nothing about such things. thanks
