Having problem with nero please help?

[jimmyfig69]

I have used an older version of nero, I think 5.0. I tried a couple of vcd's and it worked with my sony dsp-s360 dvd and memorex cdrw's. Now I have upgraded to win2k & nero 5.5, and now the same cdrw's from the same package won't work with my dvd player. Any reasons why?

but they works in your computer?

[jimmyfig69]

Yes they still play on the computer. I'll try going back to the old version of nero that did work and see if there's a difference. Other wise maybe its my burner, but it still burns great for everything else, hmmm!

i used nero 5.5 with win2k, and i wasted 7 cdrs just trying to make one vcd. at the end, i got two vcds out of it. um, it gave me error message saying 'cant find some drivers and trying to use aspi' or something like that when i start nero. and when i test to burn, it failed. like there's something wrong w/ my cd burner or the connection.
so, after all that, i switched back to win98. and seems to work find, at least i dont have problem w/ it. but either case, i used ez cd creator now. and havent have a problem yet. and it take less time to make my vcd. (i'm using win9
so, if any one can resolve this issue between nero and win2k, please help. tia

Ok I reinstalled nero 5.0 that used to work before to make vcd's on memorex cdrw and play on my player. Still doesn't work I guess that it has to so with me using win 2kpro but oh well. I have a Sony dsp360 and i have learned to hate this thing for vcd's. I'll just save up for the pioneer that I read about here.

Only a wild suggestion, but Nero has an download file on their web site if 'you have problems with (S)VCD - it downloads a .dll file that might fix the problem.

Funny thing is that it seems to overwrite a later file from the 5.5.5.1 download

Have you checked on the finalize disk before writing ?

I had the same problem even I already upgraded the dll.
Then a realized the only different is that checkbox setting.

I hope this helps.

[jimmyfig69]

Yes I tried both the new dll file and the finalize check box, still doesn't work. What a bummer. The Cirtcuit City by me has the pioneer 343 dvd player for $149 I'll just the better player and give up on the sony that I have for playing vcd's.

Do you have the right ASPI drivers installed for Win 2k?
And Nero?
Do other cd's burn ok? LIke audio cd's etc?
I would look around on Neros site for updated drivers and dll's for Win 2k first.
