Hello, Being I'm likely the greenest guy in here, please forgive me if I'm asking a dumb question here... Anyway, After burning plenty of DVDs over the past year, I now get a Nero error message and have been unable to burn DVDs for months. Could someone please tell me what my problem is. BTW, I've always used dvdshrink --> Nero.(if that matters) Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=169792 bytes, created 2/22/2007 9:40:34 AM NT-SPTI used Nero API version: 7.5.14.0 Using interface version: 6.3.1.4 Installed in: C:\Program Files\Nero\Nero 7\Core\ Application: ahead\Nero - Burning Rom Internal Version: 7, 5, 14, 0 Recorder: <_NEC DVD+-RW ND-3530A> Version: 102B - HA 1 TA 1 - 7.5.14.0 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ? === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : SAMSUNG SP0802N atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8163B atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: Off CdRomPeripheral : _NEC DVD+-RW ND-3530A atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8163B D: CDRom0 _NEC DVD+-RW ND-3530A E: CDRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 765MB (784368kB) Free physical memory: 426MB (437192kB) Memory in use : 44 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 20.9.2007 NeroAPI 7:08:14 PM #1 Phase 112 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 282 DVD-Video files reallocation started 7:08:14 PM #2 Phase 114 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 282 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 7:08:14 PM #3 Phase 111 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 282 DVD-Video files sorted 7:08:14 PM #4 Text 0 File SCSIPTICommands.cpp, Line 411 LockMCN - completed sucessfully for IOCTL_STORAGE_MCN_CONTROL 7:08:14 PM #5 Text 0 File AudioCompilationImpl.cpp, Line 838 DRM: StartDrmRecording(RealRec:1, ImageRec:0, Copies:1) DRM: Beginning burn process. 7:08:14 PM #6 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3341 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 7:08:14 PM #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3341 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 7:08:14 PM #8 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3490 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 7:08:14 PM #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 307 Last possible write address on media: 2298495 (510:46.45, 4489MB) Last address to be written: 2181295 (484:43.70, 4260MB) 7:08:14 PM #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 319 Write in overburning mode: NO 7:08:14 PM #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2940 Recorder: _NEC DVD+-RW ND-3530A, Media type: DVD-R Disc Manufacturer: MBI 01 - RG40 Disc Application Code: 64, Disc Physical Code: 193 7:08:14 PM #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 493 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 7:08:14 PM #13 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 792 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 2181296 (2181296) = #2181296/484:43.71 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 2181296 blocks [E: _NEC DVD+-RW ND-3530A] -------------------------------------------------------------- 7:08:14 PM #14 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 995 Prepare [E: _NEC DVD+-RW ND-3530A] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

Thanks!
I'd run the registry checker and driver cleantool and see if that helps. You could also do a full removal and reinstallation of Nero. Other suff: You should enable DMA: Try some other blank media. I recommend using one of the top rated brands listed here: http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
