Burning/Writer Error?

[Stuie]

HI

Wondering if you could help me out here....

1st of all, I am using Nero 5.5.10, a Pioneer 106d with the latest firmware revision and Longtec Ten -R DVDR's.

Nothing will stay on these discs, I am burning movies on to them and they dissapear, Nero says 100% successful and then the movie disspears. Its ripped with DVDShrink. I'm not a noob and i understand how this works.

When things are burnt it will successful yet you can still see the lead in line and the DVD looks blank, nothing shows on a standalone dvd player and windows explorer deems the disc as blank.

Bad batch? or something else? I bought 75 of these and so far 0 have worked on either Video or Data.

Thanks
Stuart

Do other brands of discs burn fine?

If so, then I would say bad media. If other brands also do the same thing, I would say one of two things.....

1) Maybe your dvd burner went bad
2) Check your ASPI drivers

I had the same thing happen to be on an HP DVD200I.... I burned a 4 GB data dvd and windows explorer said there was nothing there. I soon discovered that I had some major problems with my ASPI drivers, so I fixed the ASPI problem, and from there on out, I haven't had a single problem.

Hope this helps,

You can find ASPI files in the 'Tools' to the left. You might get a copy of Nero's free INFOTOOL 207. It will tell you information about your ASPI layer, whether DMA is on and other information about your drives that you normally have to dig through your computer to find.
