I've been through at least 4 ill-fated attempts at a successful burned DVD, which took just as long to rip it from DVD-RW (VR Mode). I've pretty much followed the directions you guys have provided so far, but no such luck. Here's a recent log of what's been going on. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - ahead WinASPI: File 'D:\Program Files\Nero 7\Core\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 11/2/2004 12:54:32 PM NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.0.1.2 Internal Version: 7, 0, 1, 2 Recorder: <SONY DVD RW DRU-830A> Version: SS23 - HA 1 TA 0 - 7.0.1.2 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : via Inquiry data (1) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

What should I do at this point, I wonder? Thanks.
that's ridiculous! is your computer 9yrs old??????? I don't think so! One reason why it takes so long might be that you have DMA issues: turn on DMA: http://my.afterdawn.com/alkohol/blog_entry.cfm/231/dmaissues Your ASPI isn't showing up!~ try this, version 4.71 from here - http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/aspi.cfm your using too much memory! shut down programs running in the background..... no internet no multi tasking ! slow your burn speed down to no more than 8x! this is a Roxio/Sonic file! sometimes Roxio/Sonic clash with Nero..... and when you're having Nero problems it's wise to uninstall Roxio/Sonic and do a Roxio Zapp to make sure Roxio isn't left in your computer: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Uninstallers/Roxio-Zap.shtml good luck..... welcome to afterdawn!
Thanks. I'll give that a shot. Hopefully it'll work this time. At least this issue is isolated only to DVD±Rs. I had to re-burn it on the original re-writable in the meantime (which uses 1/8 the speed of a recordable with no problems). Wish me luck.
Okay. I've pretty much did everything specified, so far; except the part about multi-tasking. I'm not sure what falls into this category. All the same, I'll see how much of a difference the settings make this time around. Thank you again.
