"No seek complete" error with Nero??

[danne]

What the hell does this mean "no seek comlete" in Nero when i try to burn a dvd,After this message the dvd is crap! I never had this prob. before but suddenly it appears 3 times after each others!!!

What format are you trying to write to ?

If it's -R, I would guess the tracking assembly can not focus on the pre-groove etched onto the DVD-R that provides the timing and tracking information. If it can't find this, the burn will literally be all over the place, assuming it burns at all.

Try a different brand of media or format and see if the problem goes away - you might find it's terminal media failure due to a manufacturing defect , in which case expect a nice juicy refund to come your way.

I've just got a dvd writer recently and writte my first dvd-r with it. At the end of the burn I got this 'No seek complete' error.

However, I seem to be able to access the disc and play tracks off it fine (I simply did a DVD ISO with a bunch of mp3 directories on it).

I used Bulkpaq media (4x) which I've read in reviews on here works fine with my writer (Plextor 708A).

Any advice? I can't really afford dvd-r coasters! But as I say, the strange thing is the disk, at least, seems ok.... probably won't work in anyone else's writer, but... hm...?!
