hi everyone - this is my first post here. I have a question or two about Nero. I just opened it up to see what version I have. I don't know where to find that, so I'll just ask away - I recently tried to burn an audio cd with about 12 songs on it for our band practice. I couldn't do it. I ended up with three coasters, then I decided to stop until I could get more info. I was talking to a friend of mine and he tells me that there are programs out there that can spot corrupt mp3 files, to avoid making coasters. Would something like that be an ok idea ? What do you guys recommend ?
thanks Varnull - I did a burn simulation which turned out ok. When I go to burn the disc, it hangs up at about 23% of the burn. I get an error message about a track following error. Here's a copy of the run log - Its going to be cool to have someone be able to tell me what the problem is. thanks, tt Owner 1A20-0316-0010-1205-0007-9835 Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.59, size=160016 bytes, created 12/16/2003 11:18:06 PM Nero version: 6.3.1.17 (Nero Express) Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GWA-4164B>Version: 1.03 - HA 4 TA 0 - 6.3.1.17 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 4 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : via Inquiry data (1) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI Connected to MMC as unknown drive with class-nr : 11 Drive is autodetected - recorder class: DVD+R9 DL recorder CD-ROM: <HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GWA-4164B>Version: 1.03 - HA 4 TA 0 - 6.3.1.17 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 4 === Scsi-Device-Map === CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GWA-4164B atapi Port 4 ID 0 DMA: Off DiskPeripheral : ST380011A atapi Port 5 ID 0 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GWA-4164 E: CDRom0 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 894MB (915952kB) Free physical memory: 298MB (305416kB) Memory in use : 66 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Static Write Speed Table: 0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 29.9.2008 Audio CD 7:12:17 PM #1 CDADOC -1 File Cdadoc.cpp, Line 1508 Audio item log info: Audio document burn settings: ============================= Burn mode: DAO, CD Text: On, Cache disk or network files: No, Cache small files: No, Cache files smaller than 65536 bytes.

Bye. That's the reason... but I don't understand that error unless one or more of the tracks is protected somehow. Google revealed this.. Error Message: Track Following Error Translation: This error message occasionally appears when burning CD-Rs or CD-RWs in Nero. This is a hardware error that occurs when a drive is not capable of following a data track on a CD-R or CD-RW. Solution: According to Nero, there are several possible reasons for this error. The problem may be as simple as using poor media. Try another disc, especially a disc with a different band. Poor power flow to your drive may also cause this problem. Try opening your system and using a different power connector. Make sure no other devices are using a power connector in the same strand. According to Ahead, if this doesn’t solve your problem you may need to send your drive in for servicing as the head may be dirty or misaligned. Source: Ahead Software: Nero Support FAQ No. 8 I'm not a nero user.. and I'm very suspicious of those HL-DT-ST drives which are well known junk (I can buy 100 of them for £35.. ever wondered how a dual core 2 gig ram machine with vista.. which costs £120.. and a dvd burner can be had for £299 retail.. look no further) Have a read of this.. http://www.pcuser.com.au/pcuser/hs2.nsf/lookup+1/FC6A85368ABFD98ECA256CD600573628 and try some of the suggestions and see what happens. Will it burn the files as a plain data disk?.. maybe you will need to strip suspected drm from the tracks before going any further... nero has gone into drm mode.. so I have a suspicion that this may be the cause. If nothing changes stick the files on a flash drive and try burning them on a friends machine read through again.... may be some either hardware error or a driver conflict..
