Unable to burn to SVCD due to disc-at-one error.

[elspethmac]

I'm using Nero 5.5 to try and burn a mpeg (806mb) to SVCD. I checked the mpeg and it's fine, but when I go to burn it, both the simulation and the write sequence tells me that it can't complete as the disc-at-once can't close. Not a problem I've previously encountered.
I'm probably staring this problem straight in the face, but I'd appreciate any tips or help.

MPEG too big for your media?

[elspethmac]

I'm using a 700mb cd, so it should fit shouldn't it?

try burning as disk at once you get the option right b4 starting the burn you might also try not doing the simultion but keeping your write speed under 8x

[elspethmac]

I tried to burn twice once with the similation and once without, but both times failed. And I should be so lucky as to have a cd burner that burns at 8x Mine will only burn at 2x but this is the first error that I've encountered with it. It's been able to burn other media before, so I'm stumped as to what the problem might be.

try a different brand cd-r

[elspethmac]

I've tried 3 so far.
Maxell, Fuji and a cheap supermarket brand.
Still the same result.

Sounds like a driver conflict,uninstall any burn software(Nero is
very jealous )and I would reinstall Nero and upgrade to 5.5.8.2

use track at once...

MovieGeek: I tried uninstalling Nero, but haven't updated to 5.5.8 yet...that's next on my list.

[elspethmac]

Can you use track at once for a mpeg file?
Will it burn all the way through or will I have to check it occasionally?
It's not an option I've used before.

This may work to watch on pc but most stand-alones won't accept TAO
vcd's

I had same problem with Nero and burning using Disk at Once would hang and not complete burn. Tried Track at Once and burned OK. Resultant CD plays fine on my Dansai 852 DVD player.

i have no problems whatsoever....track at once, disc at once...my cyberhome adl 528 just plays it all...

so it should work...
