disc full error

[scotsman1]

I've a Nec 8X recorder and i'm using Nero 6.

I've been recording dvds for a while now and been
into some good video captures to, everything's been
working fine up untill now.
When i put a dvd disc in it dont auto run anymore and
it seems to take forever for the light to go out on the
recorder. I bring out Nero 6, pick what i'm recording
and when i press burn it tells me-- disc full-please insert
a new disc. It started doing this 2 nights ago and i've tried
everything i know including reinstalling nero, the recorder
driver, defragment but it still says disc full.
I've 2 brands of disc i've used before but they both say the same
error.
thanks

It's not recognizing any discs at all now, so i
think the writer has a problem, i'll need to try
it on another pc because thats the only way i
can think of to see if its broken.

That's a good idea to try it in another PC, eliminates a lot of variables with the present system. If you still get problems related to the burner itself, maybe try a cleaner disk or probably dissasembly and cleaning. Probably have little to lose at that point unless the warranty is still in affect.

Shop confirmed it was broken beyond repair, they will replace it no problem, i could choose from
NEC as i have
SONY dwu-18a
PIONEER-A107
LITE ON 8X

My nec 1300 works fine,but I guess is somewhat limited in the media brands it can use.Only one type of ritek i think.

I opted for the Pioneer 107 and it's working like a dream-so far.
