I have ripped the files off of the disc with shrink and when i go to burn the files with Nero i get an error before it is done writing the lead in. It tells me that it had a track following error. some one please help me with this proble. thanks alot.
Can you post the Nero log file from the failed write attempt? Just in case there was an error that occured before the Track Following Error message. Track Following is 90% of the time a hardware error and usually caused by poor media, old firmware for the recorder, or a recorder in need of service. But you could have had an error that occured before that, which then caused the Track following error message to be reported. But we would need to see the log file to be sure. Be sure to edit out your Serial key before posting the log file. Regards Craig Ahead Software USA
Without more information like what brand of media are you using a log from Nero it would just be a guess. A track following error is usually caused by poor quality disc's. What brand are you using? It could also be dirty disc's (Fingerprints, Etc.) Possibly a dirty laser lens. They make cleaning disc's.

You should upgrade to our latest Nero 5.5.10.56 from our website, but that will not resolve your issue. You are only getting a 'Track Following Error' in the log file, so I strongly suspect your issue is media related. Make sure you have the latest firmware for your recorder as well, but more than likely simply trying a different brand of DVD Media will resolve your issue. Regards, Craig Ahead Software USA
Thanks for all of you help i have both +r and -r media and the +r media works, not the -R. And again thanks
