All Nero compilations expires after 1 burn?

[Blå_Mocka]

One common detail in various Nero versions, have been a pain in my _____ for years, and thath is..

After you have burned a project and it perhaps didnt pass the verification test upon complete, you directley wanna re-burne it after cleaning the disc for ex, and offcorse erase the disc in Nero and then just redo it
and you have not exit the comilation yet you just succeded burn inside just previolsy
But it seems like the compilations expired after 1 burn only
caus when

klicking burn

"The disc drive is not emty" (and it ask if it shall erase it?)
'yes'
but it doenst start, it just keeps replaying thath message
'cancel'
under thath window we have another one who pops up

"Theres not enough space to burn the compilation onto this disc"
and klicking ok is the only thing to do and it cough out the disc

but if i istart to loose life-time by creating a new compilation instead with exact same files and klick burn..yeah then it works all of a sudden, so its only bull thath the disc is not empty
Explain if there is a way to avoid the compilations to get expired after a single burn, if the files are still on same location on harddrive i can't see why there should be this problem? i should bre able to burn a year later if the files are still on same spot dont you think?

performing a deep erase on the disc doesnt help eitherin this case

You can create a 'image' file of your compiled files and keep that on your hard drive. Then, if you have a burn failure, you can use that same image again, without re-doing the compilation.

You might try ImgBurn instead of Nero. You can burn the files or use the program to create an image file for later burning. For non-DVD files, you can also use Folder2Iso to create image files.

Exactley thath above is what it can't do..in this house atleast

Why do you think its not working for me but does for everybody else? (yes thaths a pretty hypothetic question :P)
but im getting tired in of being the loser who allways have to abandon softwares instead of solving the problem..cause im allways alone with the error (sob,cry,scream, )
I can be pretty incompetent often, but really not even i are doing anything extraordinary every time thath could have screwed it up in the same pattern for years?...i think atleast, yesterday i just cleaned the disc and just tried to re-write again in the same compilation 1 minute after

thath will be my last life-line, im so used to Nero by now, and it takes ages for me to just learn something new :P

Maybe the problem is with your re-writable discs. Try using higher quality re-writable discs (Verbatim). If you burn a compilation and then burn it to CD-R or DVD+/-R (you don't say which you are using) instead of re-writable discs and it works, then I'd blame your media.

Nero isn't a great program for DVD burning, but it's OK for audio CDs. We recommend ImgBurn for DVD burning.

I use DVD-RW, currentley from Imation(R) it has allways varied in mark thou, what i find

but if it is my media who are the error-causer, then thei would not work if i create a new Nero compilation..and thei do, thaths what i believe on straigh arm atleast? but im no professor-baltazar

Using Nero to create an image file (ISO) and burning are different.

As to your other problem, you can erase/format the discs before you try to use them. In which case, when you place them into the drive to use, they are already blank. If Nero won't eject the disc when you receive the above error, you should still be able to manually eject the disc.

The main problem here, isn't the necassarily the why Nero won't save your project, but why you are having burn issues in the first place. The easiest thing to try is different media (as noted above). It could also be several other possibilities such as the burner, the burner firmware, the OS, the MB/IDE drivers, or Nero itself. You don't mention which version you are using, but ensure you have all of the latest updates. Also, Nero should be creating a log whenever it has issues. It should pinpoint in the log what is causing the problem.

Yes i missed what he wrote thath i see now
I undestand nada how 'Nero Image drive' works in Nero, it only want me to input a 'nrg' file thath i have not even created yet, what does it want

It allways eject and complains thath disc is not empty, but it should not, cause it's proven empty, i have not problem to eject(open) the drive..ejecting the drive is what im trying to prevent lol

I dont have any burn issues, but i have a Nero issue
i have tested probably 10 different disc marks during the years with Nero, and when i say discs its allso CD
been the same pattern on either media forms, it cant be the media

i have used angcient Nero versions from end of 90's with the same pattern, currentley i use 6.6.0.15 (the text is so damn small its hard to see)i have used 2 different computers, and it has been the same

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you problem, but I fail to see how several different versions of Nero used on different computers can be a "Nero" issue. There are other burning applications available, such as IMGBurn (which is free), or even simply burning with the included application of XP.

Typically, when a disc is ejected as "not empty" it is either unsupported media or a burner issue. The fact that you are using Nero is irrelevant, the burner is trying to intialize the media and either can't read it or is reading it incorrectly.

As to your first question, Nero can create images (which is what redwudz and I referred to), burn images (which you are referring to...and if you don't have an image, you can't burn it), or simply burning the data to disc (and several other options).
