Hi all: I have been successfully burning DVDs on verbatim media DVD+R 16x. I bought new LG DVD-R 8x. When I using nero recode to burn on LG, I get a "Burn Process Failed" error. However, there is another strange thing. I can burn successfully on the LG media if I directly burn using Nero Express. It does not work when I try to recode. Please help. Here is my log ----- Begin NeroAPI error log ----- Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.57 (1008), size=48128 bytes, created 12/22/1997 8:23:24 PM ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\NeroVision\NeroFiles\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 10/26/2004 5:35:34 PM Nero API version: 6.6.0.8 Using interface version: 6.6.0.8 Installed in: C:\Program Files\Ahead\NeroVision\NeroFiles\ Application: Ahead\Nero Recode Recorder: <Memorex 16X-DDL-ILO> Version: YWS7 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.8 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : via Inquiry data (1) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI Connected to MMC as unknown drive with class-nr : 1 Drive is autodetected - recorder class: Std.

Your version of Nero is a little behind, latest version is 6.6.1.4, go to Nero site and update. It's not unusual for your burner to accept one media type and reject the other, I suggest you stick with the Verbatim which are a better brand anyway.
