One more thing. I have just installed a MPEG encoder, so hopefully now it shouldn't say that it couldn't be found.
According to your latest log, you have updated your firmware but ignored my other suggestions...we can only advise you as to what is necessary but it's your decision whether you accept this advice...
Sorry. I do not mean to ignore your advice. I don't know alot about computers, obviously, so if I didn't do what you asked it is just because I don't know how, or something didn't work properly.
I have downloaded the MPEG 4 Encoder that you asked and it says I need a registration code or I have to buy it. Maybe I have just a trial version.
I think everything is alright, but I just don't have the right recordable DVD disk needed to burn my DVD. I have tried DVD-R and DVD+RW. On the CD drive, it says DVD ReWritable and DVD R/W. Can you tell me what this means and what I need to buy in order to burn my DVD.
Yes I have changed my Nero version. Downloaded exactly what you sent me. I also have a DVD burner on my laptop and I have tried to burn my DVD on it as well and it says the same thing, that I am using the wrong type of recordable DVD Here is my log for the trial on my laptop. 1a2001000000143033121420 Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 26/10/2004 6:35:34 PM Nero API version: 6.6.0.18 Using interface version: 6.6.0.12 Installed in: C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\ Application: ahead\NeroVision Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 18e Recorder: <TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L532B>Version: DE04 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.18 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : via Inquiry data (1) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI Connected to MMC as unknown drive with class-nr : 1 Drive is autodetected - recorder class: Std.

OK , as you can see we have now eliminated the error where it calls for MPEG encoder...according to this log you are able to use either format...+R or -R but it does look strange as it indicates it needs a CD and not a DVD in this particular case. Can be a firmware issue but I cannot find anything on your burner...will keep looking though. Sorry for the delay in replying but today has been rather hectic. Is this your laptop Are you using a rewritable disc by any chance.
I have a Dell Inspiron 6400. Yes I have been using a DVD ReWritiable disk (DVD+RW), should I use DVD-RW? Or should I be using a differnt kind? I can burn CD's perfectly fine, but can not burn DVD's.
Using RW discs could be the problem, get yourself some +r or -R fromat discs...preferably Verbatim or Sony (made in Japan)...only buy a small quantity to see if it fixes your problem.
I have tried the Memorex DVD-R disks. Don't you have to buy the appropriate disks for the type of burner you have? How can I tell what disks will work on my burner. I have now bought 3 differnt types of recorable DVD's and none of them are the right types. DVD+RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW. Does the brand name on the DVD matter at all?
On the pop up message that says I have the wrong type of disk it tells me I can change the settings of compilation. Do you know how I would do that?
I am at a loss as to what is happening, however I would NOT recommend memorex discs, they're horrible....I will see if one of our mods..binkie7 can take a look at this thread.
i see this but updating nero its gone Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ? so no worries... these discs you used what is the dye code?, will read over again... ---------- in your first logs it says AVIVCD, VCD being written to cdr or cdrw discs so what is your project avi to vcd or svcd ? explain your whole project what you have and what settings you use and what you want to get to? sounds abit like if you want avi to dvd your not going the dvd project route, now this could be due to the mpeg error? nero needs a serial plugin code for mpeg2 (dvd complinat files / burning) otherwise all the option will be only vcd / svcd probably? have you done any projects ok before or is this the first time? asking for cdrw sounds like vcd/svcd project... ------------------------ now if you dont own nero plugin codes try dvd flick its free for testing avi to dvd. (and your drive is ok) may need a full codec pack installed though = k-lite mega codec pack <-- its free. ------------------------ bit of reading up info on drive specs, threw it in as was looking meself ;-] http://www.devhardware.com/c/a/Storage-Devices/AOpen-DUW1608ARR-16x-DVD-R-RW-Review/2/ NOTE: Installation Installation of the AOpen DUW1608/ARR, like most optical drives, was a breeze. The only thing to remember is the drive does require an ATA66 ribbon cable, not the ATA33 ribbon cable most slower burning optical drives use. means an 80 wire ide cable ---------------- odd that before you updated nero the log shows === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : WDC WD1200BB-00DWA0 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : AOPEN DUW1608/ARR atapi Port 3 ID 0 DMA: On then when updated it shows === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : Hitachi HTS541080G9SA00 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L532B atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On oh i see you have 2 pc's! ok this brings me back to first comment i made, your first pc has this Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ? could be bios not on auto detecting? although dma is on...
@Rotary, the first log is from his/her desktop and the 2nd log is from a laptop. EDIT: Sorry Rotary I didnt read all of your post, Cheers.....so basically the problem is that for some reason neither burner is recognizing DVDs. I would like to see a log after the updates on the desktop to see whats going on
All of my videos I wanted to burn were in MP4 format. I have now converted them into vob format. I have burnt Cd's prefectly fine, but this is the first time I have tried to burn a DVD. I am trying to make it so I can watch it in a DVD player. The MPEG problem is not present on my laptop computer. Do you know if there is a way to change the settings so that it says that I don't need CdRW. Here is my lastest log.

You are still using the unstable version of Nero...6.6.1.4...unless you consider my recommendation to change to the much more stable version of 6.6.0.18 then your problems will continue. Hopefully the change will take care of the encoder problem....it is in my opinion the best of Nero 6 versions.
