You can try updating to one of the later versions of Nero, heres the links 7.0.8.2 http://www.filehippo.com/download_nero_7_premium/?845 7.2.7.0 http://www.filehippo.com/download_nero_7_premium/?1493 You have Roxio installed, it clashes with Nero, to remove, run this zapper http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml
@Litljoe I've checked your log and everything looks fine, except the media beside what "gwendolin" had already mentioned. Out of curiosity, how fast did you burned? RPC1 forum reported that you have the latest firmware, so your burner is fine. I know Ritek is good, but to be honest with you, I've seen more and more Ritek failured than any other top notch media. Next time, try to use genuine Taiyo Yuden (MIJ), Verbatim and Maxell (Made In Japan by Hitachi Corp.) for your next DVD project to see if you'll get a success. Again, the 2 above errors showed that your DVD burner doesn't like the media. So try TY, Verbs or Maxell (MIJ) next time and burn anywhere from 4X - 8X. NOTE: below is a successfully burned log taken from mine. You can reference mine with yours to see if you'll notice any differences. Good luck.
I'll try un-installing roxio, the discs wont burn at any speed, 4,6,or 8 I have been able to burn on this media before, so thats why Im wondering what went wrong...
Ahhhhhhhhh!!!! All is good again, got rid of Roxio, and associated files, Everything is good again!! Thank You Thank You!
Glad everything is working for you now. Yep, Roxio, InCD and Nvidia driver are the 3 most common to always conflict with Nero. I've always recommend newbies to get rid of them. Best of luck and happy burning.
