Bad burns with Nero related software

[Gone Crabby]

Out of the blue, I started having problems burning video dvds and data dvds. I would backup using DVDShrink and then burn. 3/4 of the way of the burn the burner spits out the cd and pops up an error message on the screen.

So I tried burning a data disk with Nero with the same problem. The progress indicator will hang at 1% although the burner continues to burn 3/4 of the DVD disk and an error message pops up saying "Illegal disk"

So I tried another method: Nero's Backitup to make a data dvd and that worked out flawlessly using the same media I've always been using--- Sony.

I updated Nero as well as firmware for the dvd burner. Any ideas as to what could be the problem?

You're much help...

Switched to a different media doesn't help. I'm starting to think my burner went to shit. could a bad aspi file do this? I'm using the new one provided by nero.... Does anyone have any ideas?

I can burn dvd ISO, back up data with nero's backitup program for dvd, burn data cds and audio cds, but can't burn data dvds using nero burning rom se....

firmware is up to date as well nero. I can no longer use dvdshrink to burn since it uses nero burning rom program.... help me out guys.

You might try Nero Clean and get all the old stuff out of there and re-install Nero.

Other than that, have you cleaned the laser on the player? Though if it burns everything else, it sounds like a Nero problem.

Also, at least for the present, you might try DVDDecrypter to burn with DVDShrink. It bypasses Nero problems. Not that more complicated, either.

I've used cleantool after I have unistalled all nero related software and still does not work. with the old nero and the new after I updated it. I'm going to just go ahead and use dvdshrink to shrink the dvd's and burn them as ISO with dvdshrink. That should work right? I should be able to play them on any standalone dvd players, correct?

Generally, DVDDecrypter will generate a more compatible DVD burn than Nero. Sorry, nothing else I can think of with Nero.

eh.. tried burning the iso file with dvddecryptor and dvd shrink and came out coasters. i wished dvdshrink had the test option instead of burning all the time.

I would move the burner to another PC. If it doesn't work on the other PC. It has died. You can also try using a laser cleaner for the DVD player.

I'm have a similar problem......

I can burn with Nero recode ... but nothing else works .

I was blaming a update to windows or I have just download the latest version of anydvd , dvdclone and cdclone .

I'm going to format my harddrive and start again .

It's not media nor hardware ... it's software related

cheers

Try burning at a lower speed and make sure burner is in DMA mode.
