Hi, I'm new here and the backing up/burning on dvd is killing me! Arrghh! I bought BENQ Joybook R53 a year ago and it has MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-840S. I have followed all the instructions from this website and webpages.charter.net. using DVDFabDecrypter, FixVTS, DVDShrink and Nero burning (as well as Imageburn when I couldn't get Nero to work) PROBLEM: Verbatim (Advanced AZO) DVD+R blank disc 16x I bought. Tried to burn my orginal dvd Green Street Hooligan (under 4.2GB in DVD shrink before pressing 'back up'). Everything goes fine until when it comes to burning on dvd. Nero says "There is not enough space to burn this compliation to this disc" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1A20 Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=?.?.?.?, size=30208 bytes, created 6/11/1997 7:01:02 PM ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 10/27/2004 10:21:30 AM Nero API version: 6.6.0.6 Using interface version: 6.3.1.4 Installed in: C:\Program Files\Ahead\Nero\ Application: ahead\Nero - Burning Rom Recorder: <MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-840S>Version: 1.50 - HA 0 TA 1 - 6.6.0.6 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 0 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : HTS541080G9AT00 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-840S atapi Port 0 ID 1 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-840S E: CDRom0 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 1022MB (1046960kB) Free physical memory: 517MB (529968kB) Memory in use : 49 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 1.8.2007 NeroAPI 7:25:53 PM #1 Phase 112 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 276 DVD-Video files reallocation started 7:25:53 PM #2 Phase 114 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 276 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 7:25:53 PM #3 Phase 111 File APIProgress.cpp, Line 276 DVD-Video files sorted 7:25:53 PM #4 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 7:25:53 PM #5 Text 0 File AudioCompilationImpl.cpp, Line 842 DRM: StartDrmRecording(RealRec:1, ImageRec:0, Copies:1) DRM: Beginning burn process. 7:25:53 PM #6 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3286 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 7:25:53 PM #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3286 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 7:25:53 PM #8 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3155 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 7:28:05 PM #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 257 Last possible write address on media: -1 (954437:10.45, 4194303MB) Last address to be written: 2178383 (484:05.08, 4254MB) 7:28:05 PM #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 269 Write in overburning mode: NO 7:28:05 PM #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2311 Recorder: MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-840S Medium not present 7:28:05 PM #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 431 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= Not enough free discspace.

Heres something you might like to address....wont solve your problem but needs attention ASPI layer is corrupted, try this, version 4.71 from here - http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/aspi.cfm also a later version of Nero is available from here, I recommend installing BOTH packages Package 1: http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe Package 2: http://www.dvdplusvideo.com/NVE-3.1.0.21_no_yt.exe
Thanks Gwendolin I will update versions of what you said. Should I be booktyping my blank DVD+R disc to DVD-R to make it work? Just that two weeks ago I burned Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory ... it worked on a DVD-R that someone gave me but didn't work on a DVD+R disc (friend gave me one of each disc - limiations I think) .... So could it be booktyping that I need to correct?
You can booktype a DVD+R to emulate a DVD-ROM, not DVD-R. Booktyping is the way to go if your drive supports that action.
Thanks bilbo65. How do I booktype DVD+R to DVD-R that I have on my DVD+R discs? I'm new at this and never really heard of booktyping until someone mentioned it last week. If it works on DVD-R disc last week and not on DVD+R - would that mean it will work only on DVD-R discs? and NOT DVD+R Thanks
