I have been trying to burn with Nero and I keep getting burn process failed. I've burned numerous discs from this software but for some unknown reason it will give me this error from time to time. Any help given would be much appreciated. I tried burning at its maximum speed which is 4X and had to bump it down to a slower speed of 2.4X. Here's what the error log read: Edited Serial Number Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.71 (0002), size=45056 bytes, created 7/17/2002 8:20:56 AM ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 10/26/2004 11:35:32 AM Nero Version: 6.6.0.8 (Nero Express) Recorder: <_NEC DVD+RW ND-2100AD> Version: 1.26 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.8 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <_NEC DVD+RW ND-2100AD>Version: 1.26 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.8 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : ST380011A atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : _NEC DVD+RW ND-2100AD atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === _NEC DVD+RW ND-2100AD E: CDRom0 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 39845888 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 247MB (253420kB) Free physical memory: 76MB (78332kB) Memory in use : 69 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 13.2.2006 ISO compilation 2:48:16 PM #1 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6172 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 : TRUE Allow more than 255 characters in path : TRUE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 2:48:16 PM #2 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 2:48:16 PM #3 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer _NEC DVD+RW ND-2100AD running 2:48:16 PM #4 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3293 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 2:48:16 PM #5 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3153 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 2:48:16 PM #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 259 Last possible write address on media: 2295103 (510:01.28, 4482MB) Last address to be written: 1973759 (438:36.59, 3854MB) 2:48:16 PM #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 271 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 2:48:16 PM #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2316 Recorder: _NEC DVD+RW ND-2100AD, Media type: DVD+R 2:48:16 PM #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 433 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 2:48:16 PM #10 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 830 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 1973760 (1973760) = #1973760/438:36.60 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 1973760 blocks [_NEC DVD+RW ND-2100AD] -------------------------------------------------------------- 2:48:16 PM #11 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1043 Prepare recorder [_NEC DVD+RW ND-2100AD] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

First, you have very low memory. I would say 500Mb would be minimum for burning DVDs. Also your Nero version is behind. 6.6.0.18 is available ftp://ftp.us2.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe Your driver doesn't like the media you are using. I couldn't find your media code. What is it/ Use some good stuff, like Verbatims, TY, Sony or Maxell MIJ. Also, edit your serial number it starts 1A20...
First I went out and bought some Maxell DVD Rs. I was unsuccessful in my attempts to burn anything.

Now that it is updated any time I go to add a file to burn it says that Nero is not responding. Do any of you experienced burners out there recommend any specific software for burning it, other than Nero? What type of memory do I need to add to get this actually working so that I can burn DVDs again? Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Did you buy the Maxell Made in Japan? You still have VERY low RAM memory( I think 500Mb would be minimum), and you are burning too fast. Slow down to X4. Also,defragment your drive often ,especially if you download stuff. I would also update Nero; ftp://ftp.us2.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe
