I have been burning previously burnt dvd's with nero for about 2 weeks. After about 15 perfect copies all of a sudden I'm getting write errors every time. I had been using the same media out of the same stack (kypermedia 4x) but have also tried fuji 8x and memorex 8x with similar results. I had been burning at 4x but tried 2x as well but no dice. Anybody hav any ideas? here is an error log - Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.60 (1021), size=45056 bytes, created 1/25/2005 5:26:38 PM ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 10/26/2004 4:21:30 PM Nero Version: 6.6.0.6 (Nero Express) Recorder: <HP DVD Writer 400c> Version: AH14 - HA 3 TA 0 - 6.6.0.6 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 3 Drive buffer : 8192kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <HP DVD Writer 400c >Version: AH14 - HA 3 TA 0 - 6.6.0.6 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 3 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : ST3120022A atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : HP DVD Writer 400c atapi Port 3 ID 0 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === HP DVD Writer 400c E: CDRom0 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 74448896 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 511MB (523564kB) Free physical memory: 322MB (330680kB) Memory in use : 36 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 14.3.2005 ===== Disc-Copy over image - 1st step : Copy to image ... 4:34:54 PM #1 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 4:34:54 PM #2 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer Image Recorder running 4:34:54 PM #3 Text 0 File DVDCopy.cpp, Line 279 DVD Track-Information from source disc S01 T01 Con 0x14 Start 0 Len 2164737 (gap 0) Blank 0 Res 0 Dmg 0 Open Trk 0 Mode TRM_DATA_MODE1 (0) 4:34:54 PM #4 Text 0 File DVDCopy.cpp, Line 382 Max -1 tracks of 1 allowed to copy 1: 0 - 2164737 = 2164737, TRM_DATA_MODE1, block size 2048, read opt 0 (no read options) 4:34:54 PM #5 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3155 Turn on Disc-at-once, using DVD media 4:34:54 PM #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 257 Last possible write address on media: 2621439 (582:32.39, 5119MB) Last address to be written: 2164736 (481:03.11, 4228MB) 4:34:54 PM #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 269 Write in overburning mode: NO 4:34:54 PM #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2311 Recorder: Image Recorder; CD type reading failed ATIP Data: ? 4:34:54 PM #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 431 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 4:34:54 PM #10 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 829 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 (1 - Data (mode 1)) 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 2164737 (2164737) = #2164737/481:3.12 not relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/not required, no patch infos -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 2164737 blocks [Image Recorder] -------------------------------------------------------------- 4:34:54 PM #11 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 1042 Prepare recorder [Image Recorder] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x40; Session Closed, disc fixated Tracks 1 to 1: 1: TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048/0x00, FilePos 0 0 4433381376, ISRC "" DAO layout: =========== __Start_|____Track_|_Idx_|_CtrlAdr_|_RecDep__________ 0 | lead-in | 0 | 0x41 | 0x00 0 | 1 | 0 | 0x41 | 0x00 0 | 1 | 1 | 0x41 | 0x00 2164737 | lead-out | 1 | 0x41 | 0x00 4:34:54 PM #12 Phase 120 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 Creating the image for burning 4:34:54 PM #13 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 2604 Verifying disc position of item 0 (not relocatable, no disc pos, no patch infos, orig at #0): write at #0 4:59:10 PM #14 Text 0 File WriterStatus.cpp, Line 116 < Image Recorder > start writing Lead-Out at LBA 2164737 (210801h), lenght 0 blocks 4:59:10 PM #15 Text 0 File ThreadedTransfer.cpp, Line 228 all writers idle, stopping conversion 4:59:10 PM #16 Phase 121 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 Creating Image completed successfully ===== Disc-Copy over image - 2nd step : Burn the image ... 4:59:29 PM #1 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 4:59:29 PM #2 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer HP DVD Writer 400c running 4:59:30 PM #3 IMAGEGEN -10 File ImageGen.cpp, Line 366 Image was written as DAO.

Looks like DMA is off, also do you de-frag, disc clean up, adaware & spybot your PC regularly? You need to go to device manager, IDE/ata/ATAPI drives, primary drive, advanced & enable DMA. Do the same for secondary drive too. Memorex media can suck ass big time. You could also have a media problem. Pulsar
