This is probably a totally noob problem - but I'll take the joking ! I am using OEM Nero latest version 6.6.1.4. I get a problem with Nero in that it fails to complete a burn. I noticed that people post the error log so here goes: ----- Begin NeroAPI error log ----- Windows XP 5.1 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.60 (1021), size=45056 bytes, created 10/09/1999 12: 06:00 ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\NeroVision\NeroFiles\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 02/11/2004 12:54:32 NT-SPTI used Nero API version: 6.6.1.4 Using interface version: 6.6.0.9 Installed in: C:\Program Files\Ahead\NeroVision\NeroFiles\ Application: Ahead\Nero Recode Internal Version: 6, 6, 1, 4d Recorder: <TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-W162C>Version: TS10 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.1.4 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ? === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : Maxtor 6E040L0 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-W162C atapi Port 0 ID 1 DMA: Off CdRomPeripheral : SONY CD-RW CRX230ED atapi Port 3 ID 0 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-W162C E: CDRom0 SONY CD-RW CRX230ED P: CDRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 1534MB (1571560kB) Free physical memory: 1150MB (1178160kB) Memory in use : 25 Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 27.2.2006 NeroAPI 21:21:42 #1 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 281 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB) Last address to be written: -1 ( 0:00.-1, 0MB) 21:21:42 #2 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 293 Write in overburning mode: NO 21:21:42 #3 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2612 Recorder: TSSTcorp CD/DVDW SH-W162C, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: FUJIFI - LM03 Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 21:21:42 #4 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 459 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 21:21:42 #5 Text 0 File SCSIPassThrough.cpp, Line 38 SPTILockVolume - completed successfully for FCTL_LOCK_VOLUME 21:21:42 #6 Text 0 File SCSIPassThrough.cpp, Line 83 SPTIDismountVolume - completed successfully for FSCTL_DISMOUNT_VOLUME 21:21:42 #7 Text 0 File DVDR.cpp, Line 2707 Recording mode: Sequential Recording Mode for Multisession 21:21:42 #8 Text 0 File DVDR.cpp, Line 2863 Start write address at LBA 0 DVD high compatibility mode: No 21:21:42 #9 Text 0 File Cdrdrv.cpp, Line 8647 ---- DVD Structure: Physical Format Information (00h) ---- Media Type: 0, Layer: 0, Address: 0 (0 h), AGID: 0; Length: 2050 Book Type: DVD-R (2), Part Version: 2.0x (5), Extended Part Version: 0.0 (0) Disc Size: 120 mm, Maximum Rate: <not specified> (F h) Number of Layers: 1, Track Path: Parallel Track Path (PTP), Layer Type: recordable Linear Density: 0,267 um/bit, Track Density: 0,74 um/track Starting Physical Sector Number of Data Area: 30000 h (DVD-ROM, DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW) End Physical Sector Number of Data Area: 0 h End Sector Number in Layer 0: 0 h (LBN: FFFD0000 h, 4193920 MB) Data in Burst Cutting Area (BCA) does not exist Start sector number of the current Border-Out: 0 h Start sector number of the next Border-In: 0 h Media Specific [16..63]: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 21:21:42 #10 Text 0 File BurnAtOnceRecorder.cpp, Line 1010 Estimated filesystem size: 560 21:21:42 #11 Phase 36 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 275 Burn process started at 6x (8,310 KB/s) 21:21:43 #12 Text 0 File BurnAtOnceRecorder.cpp, Line 677 Reserved fragment at 0.

Now I am at a complete loss Any advice to help a newbie on his way? Thanks for any help you can give. Will Other minor niggles: I used dvd decoder and then dvdshrink to get dvd files (that i can view) on my computer. The link between dvdshrink and Nero failed. I am therefore trying to burn the files put on my hard drive by dvdshrink usign nero. After looking around, I used the Nero express rather than the make a DVD from the drop down menu. I have set the process up to run again and it seems to be progressing (fingers crossed). Anyway, I thought it might be worth leaving this post in case there is anything people can learn from by noobi-dom. I did read a lot of posts but haven't found anything relevant to my situation - hence this post. Thanks for any help you guys can give Will
I would uninstall this version of Nero and then re install this version which is bug free http://httpdl2.usw.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18.exe http://httpdl1.usw.nero.com/Nero-6.6.0.18.exe I would also tur this on, heres a guide http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038 You can slow this down to 4X
Many thanks for the advice. I will roll back my Nero and remove InCD. I did manage to get a backup made last night which plays on my computer but not on a normal DVD player. I have seen threads for this so will check out them as well. Thanks again Will
You will find that some players preferr the +R format, some -R format but the most compatable format is DVD-ROM. This is done by a process called booktyping, using DVD+R media. Heres a link to tell you a little about it. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/1/277889#1577028#1577028
Thanks for the tip. I am not sure what tab to use in the book coding. I have a samsung SHW-162 and can't find what tab to use. Haven't had a chance to check it out yet but will try it this evening. Thanks again for all the tips!
