Problems with nero around 96%

[spiderman2k1]

Some people have problems with IC8 and Nero with Aspi driver's if you have IC8 install unstall it nero will work fine or use another burning program to burn DVD's I like COPYTODVD and CLONEDVD

[lordsmurf]

It's not a Nero issue, it's upchucking on bad media...
Burner firmware could be the issue, but unlikely.

I saw my media list being quoted, so here is my updated version:
My preference list, in order:

... the best, usually flawless
PVC (-R)
MXL (-R) ... be aware of fakes
MCC (-R)
TDK (-R) ... be aware of fakes
TAIYOYUDEN (-R)
PRODISC (+RW)

... normally pretty good, not flawless
RICOHJPN (+R)
RITEKG04 (-R)
OPTODISC (-R)
RITEKG03 (-R)

... only if I must, mediocre success rate
PRINCO (-R)
LEADDATA (-R)

... when hell freezes over, landfill material
AN31/32 (-R)
PIODATA (-R)
ACCU (-R)
MATRIX (-R)
LONGTEN (-R)
OPTODISC (+R)
CMC (-R,+R)

@ Kingnog

Plenty of Forums around m8, with BST sections .... not hard to find really.

@ lordsmurf

Sorry m8, it was me, I think, that quoted your media list.
I didn't realise it was yours ..... I found it on a site called Andy's Website and thought it was good & worth sharing.
If I had known it was yours .... I would have given you the credits
Thanks for the updated list .... very useful.

Bulkcraps (Princos)are about as bad as you can get m8

What a load of shite, maybe crap for you, I swear by them and they are only £8.49 for 25.

Well m8 ... if they work for you gr8, but when all your data/movies are unreadable 12 months down the road, dont say you were not warned.

Bulkpaq = Bulkcrap ...... and Princos dont come close to Ritek for reliability or compatibility on standalone players.
Why do you think all the Traders of "backups" spend the extra on Riteks and advertise their movies as being burnt on them.

I have been burning dvdr's for around 18 months now, on 3 different burners and gave up on the cheapo disks long ago. I, along with many other pros, prefer to use a quality disk, but if you are happy to use crap disks and tolerate all the hassel that goes with them .... that's your choice, but to suggest they are superior disks is definitely the biggest load of shite I've heard in a long time

Sorry Pal did not want to mess with a Pro. I never said they were better just that they are not as bad as everyone says. I too have been burning dvdr's for around 18 months and have never had one of my "Bulkcrap" discs fail.

You and your "trader" mates are obviously more clued up than me, I will shut up.

No need to shut up m8 ..... that's what the forum is all about ... "lively discussion"

But listen ....dont take my word for the media issue, but do take note of lordsmurf's list above and you wont go far wrong ....... he is a man with knowledge & experience, that I bow down to.
