Nero crash with DMA on burning dvd-r/works with dvd+rw.

[NoseRing]

I have a Nec nd-1300 burner and i run winxp pro.
When i try to burn a Verbatim dvd-r 2x with Nero 6 it crashes when it's about to start burning.This also happens when i try to do a simulation.
When i try to burn a Verbatim dvd+rw Nero works fine.
When i turn of DMA Nero can burn the dvd-r fine.
The other software i have tried work just fine with DMA on.
What the hell is going on?

NO WAY! finally someone is having the same problem im having. i have a pioneer 106 and am using nero. i can burn a dvd+RW perfectly and it will play in all my players. but i cannot for the life of me burn a dvd-r or dvd+r. here is the link to my topic if its any help: https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=182284

so you say if you turn dma off, you can write to a dvd-r? how exactly do you go about turning it off?

To turn DMA off you have to go to the Device Manager, click on the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers and double click on the primary or secondary channel depending where you have your burner connected.Then go to Advanced Settings and change the "DMA if available" to "PIO only" for the burner.Mine is device 0.
I used Nero info tool to find out where my Dvd rw is connected.
