I have a problem with using Nero when trying to burn a DVD. I have got the DVD files onto the computer using DVD Shrink but when I try to burn them to a DVD, it stops after 30 min. or so. Here's the error log: 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 17/12/2003 5:18:04 AM Nero version: 6.3.1.4 (Nero Express) Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4040N>Version: 1.01 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.3.1.4 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4040N>Version: 1.01 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.3.1.4 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : FUJITSU MHT2040AT atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: Off CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4040N atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4040 D: CDRom0 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: CmdQueuing : 1 CmdNotification: 2 WriteBufferSize: 38797312 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 EraseSpeed : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 238MB (244144kB) Free physical memory: 90MB (92724kB) Memory in use : 62 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Static Write Speed Table: 0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 23.2.2006 UDF/ISO compilation 3:56:30 PM #1 Phase 112 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1807 DVD-Video files reallocation started 3:56:30 PM #2 Phase 114 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1807 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 3:56:30 PM #3 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6038 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 : FALSE Allow more than 255 characters in path : FALSE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 3:56:30 PM #4 Phase 111 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1807 DVD-Video files sorted 3:56:30 PM #5 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 118 Reader running 3:56:30 PM #6 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 124 Writer HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4040N running 3:56:30 PM #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3898 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 3:56:31 PM #8 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3898 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 3:56:31 PM #9 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3188 Turn on Disc-at-once, using DVD media 3:56:31 PM #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 244 Last possible write address on media: 2295103 (510:01.28, 4482MB) Last address to be written: 2286111 (508:01.36, 4465MB) 3:56:31 PM #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 249 Write in overburning mode: FALSE 3:56:31 PM #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2107 Recorder: HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4040N, Media type: DVD+R Disc Manufacturer ID: YUDEN000, Media Type ID: T02, Product revision number: 0 Disc Application Code: 0, Extended Information Indicators: 3 3:56:31 PM #13 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 410 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 3:56:31 PM #14 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 813 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 (CTransferItem) 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 2286112 (2286112) = #2286112/508:1.37 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 2286112 blocks [HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4040N] -------------------------------------------------------------- 3:56:31 PM #15 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 982 Prepare recorder [HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4040N] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

Your Nero is outdated, upgrade from here http://httpdl2.usw.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18.exe http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18.exe Both need to be on, go here for guide http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038 To burn successfully you need at least 512meg RAM, in the meantime shut down all unecessary progs including spyware and dont multitask. I would look at adding a further 256meg RAM you are using good media, if you attend to these matters you should soon be up and burning again
@Blurry1 Just to add to gwendolin's response. There are two additional things you should do to guarantee a successful burn: 1) here: *************************************************** Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4040N>Version: 1.01 *************************************************** Your burner's firmware is too old and therefore saverely lacking much need media support that updates provide. In order to ensure that your burner will be able to correctly recognize and write to the media you put in it, you need to keep its firmware upto date. The current version is 1.04, to get the update just click on the link provided. In the search field enter you burner's model# (GWA-4040N) and click search. Click on the 1.04 choice to get the download, follow the instructions for installation. http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_search.php 2) here: ********************************************************************* Last possible write address on media: 2295103 (510:01.28, 4482MB) Last address to be written: 2286111 (508:01.36, 4465MB) ********************************************************************* You don't want to burn too close to the disk's outer edge, some media can't handle it and so produce write errors (skipping/freezing twards the end of the movie). To avoid this just have shrink or nero's recode produce smaller files sizes of 4300MB. In shrink goto:edit--->preferences, in the preferences tab choose custom from the dropdown menu and enter a value of 4300, in recode you can change it in the lower right hand corner of its window before you process the files. If all the other changes are also made, you should have no problem with a successful burn.
