Strange Nero 6 behaviour !!

[wacjac]

Hi,

I've just recently upgraded from a LiteOn CDRW to an NEC ND-1300A DVDRW. I was previously using Roxio EZCD Creator as burning software.

As EZCD does not support this DVD writer I've had to start using Nero 6 Ultra edition for both burning CDs and DVDs

I've managed to figure out how to shrink down DVD files and copy movies to DVD no problem.

When using the CD side of things I can make a data CD ok but for some strange reason if I try a straight forward disc to disc copy of a CD-Rom neither my CD/DVD Rom (Pioneer 104s) nor the NEC burner recognise the disc - they both give the Windows dialogue box shown below - however Nero does report the burn as successful.



Does anyone have any idea what the problem is please? - This is starting to drive me round the bend!!

if I try a straight forward disc to disc copy of a CR-Rom

Dare I ask what type of cd-rom your trying to copy - is it a cd-rom you made yourself or a bought cd (game, music)

Have you try'd copying 1 of your aurthored data cd-rom's - if that works then I would suspect copy protection

Hi,

It makes absolutely no difference whether it's an authored data CD or a (possibly) protected game or OS type of CD...???

Obviously the burner works with DVDs and the brand of CDR I'm using (Infiniti 80min white label) as it's perfectly possible to burn a data CD.

Very strange..... anyone any ideas?

If it's any help I used to keep a Direct CD formatted CDRW permanently in my old LiteOn drive although Direct CD was never running in the background so I don't think that's an issue? (and it certainly isn't running at all now)... plus when I uninstalled EZCD it would have taken out any of that evil type of packet writing rubbish with it?
