Hi - wonder if any of you can help me, though I realise that DVD burning still seems quite fragile.

I have burnt about 100 DVD-Rs (Bulkpaq x4) using my Sony x4 drive (firmware updated) on my system (P4 2.53, Win Xp Pro, 512 RAM, 120gb HD, Nero 6, DVD Shrink).

From about the 101st DVD-R when I record a film that fills capacity of the disc Nero tells me it has burnt successfully but the movie freezes near the end and PowerDVD hangs. Now all I get are failed DVDs (unless the film is say 3.6gb - OR if I use a TDK DVD-RW!).

When recording I only have Nero open so no probs there, I have tried putting the DVDRW drive onto its own Master IDE cable, reinstalling XP, using different Nero settings (DVD-Video or UDF/ISO) all to no avail.

I cannot understand why I am suddenly getting this problem half way through a cake!!

I know lots of people have eratic issues with burning, and solutions for one don't work for someone else but any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I have another 150 Bulkpaq disks arriving today!!!

THANKS
