"Session Fixation Error"

[double7007]

Hi everyone, it's been quite a while since I posted on this site, since then I've bought a DVD burner and up until now it has worked perfectly.

I am using Nero 6 Ultra Edition, my DVD burner is a TSST-Corp (Samsung/Toshiba) TS-H552B, it can burn single-layer and dual-layer discs.

For my project I was using TDK 8X DVD-Rs that have never given me a problem. I already built the DVD structures (VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS) with appropriate VOB, BUP and IFO files. All that is perfect. But when I go to burn DVD-Video through Nero (express or Burning ROM), it goes to 3%, then hangs and eventually says "Session Fixation Error". I've looked up the issue on this forum, but nothing really addresses my issue.

I've heard that I should buy better media, other than TDK what would you recommend, considering that could be the problem?

If that isn't the problem, what the heck is going on?

My movie file is small, only 365MB.

On a side note, I created an ISO file through TMPGEnc DVD Author and attempted to burn it through there but that thing wouldnt even start burning.

I am going to try to burn the ISO through Nero, but my questions regarding session fixation still stand.

Thank you so much.

Below is the log of my error:

try burn with something else first, like imgburn.

[double7007]

well i have tried Intervideo WinDVD Creator 2, which burns the DVD fine but then when I play it it hangs on a certain point in the movie.

I downloaded imgburn, gonna try it thanks for your help.

[double7007]

i used imgburn to burn the iso of my movie, it worked perfectly. thank you so much, i really appreciate it.
