  1. Has anyone successfully used Nero since installing your Sony dru500ax?

    Nero will not do anything but write an image file to my HDD since I installed it and the accompanying software (MyDVD, RecordNow DX, etc)

    Any ideas?

  3. With Mydvd you need to check your file size. It cannot be much above 3GB. There is a lot of overhead. I really don't like mydvd much. But you need to encode using a bitrate calculator so that you can determine your file size. There is a good bitrate cal in the tool section. Anyway there are forums on this exact thing and it is what I ran into when I tried to burn a dvd using mydvd. I ordered some other software and am waiting for that to come in. I probably will remove mydvd.

    Good luck!

    I just got my DRU-500AX last weekend, I've burned 7 disks so far, and only one coaster.

    about half were burned with Nero 5.5.10.0 (the others were burned with DVD Decryptor).

    The only coaster I burned was a DVD2ONE backup that I burned as a dvd-video disc in Nero, which was then not recognized by PowerDVD or my set-top. I took the same data, burned as a UDF-1.02 disc and it burned and played fine.

    Everything else has worked fine with Nero.

    This is on a WinME / 256Mb RAM / Asus A7V mobo system, with the DRU-500AX as master on the secondary IDE channel.

    edit - I haven't installed any of the software from Sony, except for RecordNow which I promptly uninstalled.
