PSsssssssttt !! That's your Nero serial number up there !! 9th line of your POST -- Please edit if you dont want that serial to go all over the web !
Edit it out then........... Click on the little pen to paper icon in the date/time line of your first post and delete your serial number, as there are people around who scour forums for innocent users who post their serial numbers by accident.............. As for your problem it may just be down to low quality media - what media are you using? It may also be worth reducing your burn speed to maybe 2x, just to see if this improves anything............... _X_X_X_X_X_[small]Beware of the Pixies - they move in over night and turn your life upside down [/small]

hi all i've gotten the upgrades for nero installed them and still no luck. i think that this will be the end of the road for me unless some magical person can figure all this out. thnaks for all suggestions
you should be o/k with your set-up. instead of giving up I suggest you change your dvdrw. lite-on not as good as pioneer you can get a new pioneer 107 8x for about 60 quid i got one never had a problem.
Some additional suggestions, don't give up yet: 1) Try first to use a DVD that others have successfully burnt. 2) Use a rewritable disc to cut down on waste. 3) Do not do multi-tasks, ask the PC to do the burn job only. 4) Ask Nero to determine the maximum speed for you. 5) Set burn job priority to high. 6) Wait patiently to see how things go. Good luck! *_*
Change your dvdrw only as a last resort. There is nothing wrong with lite-ons, they are actually more versatile and forgiving than some other brands eg: you can use kprobe to scan your discs for errors, you can change booktype format to dvd-rom on dvd+r media, and you can flash different firmwares as many times as you want. Lite-on's actually prefer dvd+r media, they use running OPC for dvd-r media. I use ritek dvd+r media (media code ricohjpnr01) and have no problems. If your set top won't play +r media you can always booktype to dvd-rom. Some other suggestions: remove any spyware and defrag hd prior to any rips/burns. Remove the InCD packet that came with nero as it can interfere with some other softwares. Try burning you g04's at 2x. Use only quality media. Stay away from memorex and discount store brand name media. Here's a good media guide. http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm Poor quality media is the most common cause of freezing. If still no luck try disableing your anti-virus software prior to ripping/burning. _X_X_X_X_X_[small]AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.33 Ghz 512 MB PC133 Ram Lite-On SOHW-832S f/w VS0B DVDRW 18" lcd monitor Win XP Nero 6.3.1.20 DVDXCopy Xpress 3.2.1 DVD Decryptor/DVD Shrink 3.2 I know not too impressive saving my money[/small]
mort81 I didn't say there was a problem with lite-on what I meant was there might be a problem with his dvdrw. they aren't as good as pioneer in my opinion and I have had both the pioneer and the lite-on
I assume that your drive is internal (no externally connected) and you burn the DVD from an image file (e.g. ISO file). Have you upgraded your DVD-Recorder to the latest firmaware version? Have you got DMA enabled? Can you test another high qyality DVD-R such as TY, Maxell, TDK or Verbatim and tell us if it helped at all?Also try another burning utility just for a change to see what happens then... I hope this might be of some help. Please let us know.
crysaqt, You might buy a sample pack of dvd media. Everybodys setup and circumstances are different. If you find something that works well for you stay with it. In the US look here. http://www.meritline.com/
hi everyone. sorry for no updates but i blow my modem and my computer crashed. i had to install windows home xp. i'm going try some of the suggestions tomorrow. i'll keep you updated and THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for everything hopfully it will now work.
hi it's me again. i called the shop where i bought the dvd writer and explained all the problems that i was having they told me to bring it in and they will exchange it. so now i have a new one and am going to try it to see if it was the old writer or if it was me. i'll let everyone know.
