This is the story: I have 2 combo LG Super Multi RW DVD/CD Recorders installed on my PC, I`ve already burned about 150 DVDs and innumerable CDS over the 2 years that I had them, the letter for my drive recognition are E: and F:, the “F:” burner was the one that I always use to burn all my DVDs, the “E:” one I used it rarely but I`ve burned like 25 disks on that over the 2 years. They never gave me any problems but Suddenly 2 weeks ago I couldn`t burn DVDs, I always burned with NERO 7. I tried to burn a CD and It worked just fine, but when I tried to burn a DVD, the message “Could not perform end of Disc-at-once” “Burn process failed” appeared at the end log, and the disk was left on blank(thank god I didn’t waste any disks). Then I tried to burn with the “E” drive(practically new) and the same message was displayed. So I discard the possibility of Drive over use, or hardware failure because they are the same, and this is another important thing: after Nero gave me the bad news… I refused to believe that, so I tried to copy a Movie DVD with “Clone DVD” and it burned just fine, and even burned the maxell DVD that I was trying on, so the drive was working and the disk too and had the possibility of burning. I restarted my PC, and when I tried it again with Clone DVD, suddenly came the error on the burning process and failed at the end. So I think it’s a software block. I´ve read a lot of blogs over the past week and find similar problems, tried some of the solutions but none of them worked. I changed the speed of the burning from 16x to 8x,and update to NERO 8 but nothing, the box that changes disk at once to track at once, is on gray and not changeable. I went to the IDE ATA//ATAPI Controllers, make sure they were on DMA available and they were. This is my log trying to burn a DVD on 8x,I hope someone could help me: Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 8.1.1.4 Internal Version: 8, 1, 1, 4 Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H42N>Version: RL00 - HA 1 TA 1 - 8.1.1.4 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default CD-ROM: <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H42N >Version: RL00 - HA 1 TA 0 - 8.1.1.4 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H42N atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H42N atapi Port 0 ID 1 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : WDC WD2500JS-60NCB1 atapi Port 2 ID 0 DMA: On OtherPeripheral : Marvell RAID Console 1.00 mv61xx Port 3 ID 20 DMA: Off CdRomPeripheral : Generic DVD-ROM 1.0 d347prt Port 4 ID 0 DMA: Off CdRomPeripheral : Generic DVD-ROM 1.0 d347prt Port 4 ID 1 DMA: Off CdRomPeripheral : Generic DVD-ROM 1.0 d347prt Port 4 ID 2 DMA: Off CdRomPeripheral : Generic DVD-ROM 1.0 d347prt Port 4 ID 3 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H42N E: CdRom0 HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H42N F: CdRom1 Generic DVD-ROM G: CdRom2 Generic DVD-ROM H: CdRom3 Generic DVD-ROM I: CdRom4 Generic DVD-ROM J: CdRom5 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 2045MB (2094788kB) Free physical memory: 1431MB (1465424kB) Memory in use : 30 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 20.8.2008 ISO compilation 16:14:10 #1 Text 0 File SCSIPTICommands.cpp, Line 450 LockMCN - completed sucessfully for IOCTL_STORAGE_MCN_CONTROL 16:14:10 #2 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6671 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 16:14:11 #3 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3347 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 16:14:11 #4 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3530 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 16:14:11 #5 Text 0 File FilesystemSettingsValidator.cpp, Line 142 FS Settings: using validator 'CUDFSettingsValidatorDVD' ParamMode = 'automatic', changing UDF partition type from 'physical' to 'physical' Changing UDF revision from '1.02' to '1.02' 16:14:11 #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 307 Last possible write address on media: 2295103 (510:01.28, 4482MB) Last address to be written: 1700991 (377:59.66, 3322MB) 16:14:11 #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 319 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 16:14:11 #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2972 Recorder: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H42N, Media type: DVD+R Disc Manufacturer ID: <RITEK>, Media Type ID: <F16>, Product revision number: 1 Disc Application Code: 0, Extended Information Indicators: 7 16:14:11 #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 493 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 16:14:11 #10 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 785 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 1700992 (1700992) = #1700992/377:59.67 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 1700992 blocks [F: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H42N] -------------------------------------------------------------- 16:14:11 #11 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 986 Prepare [F: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H42N] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

There's still the chance it's hardware failure. You mentioned burning a great many DVDs and CDs over two years. It's possible that you've reached the lifespan of the DVD player. The best bet to rule out hardware failure is swap it with a friend's drive. See if your drive works in his, and his drive works in yours. Remember that hardware can act iffy if about to die. So SOMETIMES, it will work. But slow or random failure are still signs of hardware death. It is very strange that both drives started doing this at exactly the same time. Still, try swapping out with a friend, just to completely rule out hardware failure. You can also buy a new drive and return it after the test, if you find it inconvenient to swap with a bud.
Hi again. Been reading more about this, and many people are complaining of this error when they use bad, cheap media. Did you happen to start in on a new stack of DVDs/CDs two weeks ago? Maybe the LGs don't like the media type (even at ANY speed).
Thanks for the quick reply JAirplay, the thing is that I have 2 exact same burners, and the other one is practically new, and has the same error, even that I only use it rarely. But I´ll try to swap it to another PC to make sure… The other thing about the disks, that is really been proven that`s not the problem because I burned the same exact disk that gave me the error in the firs place, and now that disk is burned just right, so I discard a cheep or defective media, all doe I tried with Maxell and Memorex disks to make sure of that, and gave me the same error. But thanks anyway.
