I finally had to go back to version 6.6.0.18. I could not get Nero 7 to work.

Done (again) and attached. Also you will notice I went back to 6.6.0.18 which works. I was told my machine was not powerful enough to burn disk of this size. My previous machine had only 512mb ram, 1ghz processor and 10gb free on the hard drive and never had any problems burning these disks with version 6.6.0.18 and below of Nero. My new system 1g ram, 2ghz processor and 25gb free on the harddrive also can burn with 6.6.0.18 and below. And NEVER fail. I am thinking you software is not caching the files properly as it is trying to load all the files in memory before it attempts to start writing the cache to disk. This thread http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/2/303623 shows a partial ProcessExplorerNT log showing all the files being opened but not closed. I had to stop the log because between Nero 7 and the ProcessExplorer the memory of course was depleting quickly. I have since been burning disks greater than 220,000 files without fail with 6.6.0.18. Their Reply is hopeful... "In one of the next updates the behaviour of open files will be changed, so that the problem should not occur any more."
