One occasion was when trying to burn a double layer disc, back when they cost around £7 each, which was intensely annoying. It would also drop from DMA back into PIO mode immediately afterwards. I doubt if it was a case of NFG blanks - this happened with branded ones such as Verbatim and Maxell. So I put it down to a suspect drive, never used that one for burning again and have never had a problem burning with the other drive in my PC (a completely different make). The error always happened very close to the end of a burning cycle, so I suspect that the glitch happens when the laser is in a specific place. I'm convinced it's a hardware problem.  |  IP: Logged Michael Gonzalez Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 790 From: Grand Island , NE USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 04-02-2007 06:42 PM                     My only advice is to use NERO Info Tool to check the filmware version of your drive. Then check with the drive's manufacture to see if there is an update available.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 04-02-2007 10:39 PM                     (I'm sure that Brad is smart enough NOT to be using a HP drive, for they are the worst drive ever constructed...letting alone getting it to work with NERO) But, the firmware issue does come into mind....some compatibility issue is in store here ...  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-03-2007 01:30 AM                     Well I transferred the image onto the Mac G5 and tried burning it with Toast 6. It started to burn and then gave me "OS error" and crashed. I did this twice and gave up on the idea of using the Mac to burn it. Any other ideas? I am using a Pioneer burner (dual layer, I think model AO8.)  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 04-03-2007 02:20 AM                     I know this sounds a bit silly to do, but any luck in maybe copying the data back to the HDD, then do the burn from the HDD doing a 'make a data dvd' method instead of trying to do an image burn? (have to ask this also..) but wonder if trying to do image copying of AUDIO ((course, depends of what kind ..WAV, Mp3, WMA. et.al. )), doesn't work too well since it's not data info that the image part of the program understands.... I know it's like going out the front door to get to the back yard, but sometimes this method does work. ..good luck, anywho.... - Monte  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-03-2007 02:26 AM                     quote: Monte L Fullmer but any luck in maybe copying the data back to the HDD From what??? All I have is an image file on the hard drive that I can't seem to burn to a disc.  |  IP: Logged Frank Dubrois Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 896 From: Cleveland, OH Registered: Mar 2005 posted 04-03-2007 02:26 AM                    I had the same issues with Nero 6. There were some good versions and some bad. One thing that occasionally worked was uninstalling Nero, then reinstalling. Or, first maybe try to upgrade the version you have. Depending on the Nero version and your recorder, you may have issues like what you described. I had enough and just upgraded to Nero 7. Never had the problem again. .....and I LIKE my HP recorder...works goooood.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-03-2007 02:45 AM                     ......and freeware wins! ImgBurn worked perfectly.

And yet really, really sad that the apps that cost can't seem to do it. Actually I think "pathetic" might be more appropriate.  |  IP: Logged
