Ton's of problems with Pioneer A03

[svtcontour]

I really need your help here guys. I have been trying to create a good DVD for over a month now. I have a Pioneer A03 (1.80 FM and set as primary and secondary IDE)), Windows XP(fat32, soon to be NTFS), AMD 1600+, 256MB, 45GB IBM HD, Plextor 12/10/32. I have tried to burn a DVD using Nero (5.5.8.2), Instant CD/DVD (6.4), Prassi Primo (2.0), and Ulead DVD MF. To make a long, long story short, I can burn a data DVD no problem. But as soon as I want to rip a DVD or re-encode a MPg to DVD by using TMPGenc, I get error messages on all of them. I have tried using Princo DVD-rw and ESbuy CD-r (came with drive). I can not get any type of video to burn on the DVD. I have used a ISO image option, a drag and drop option in Nero, and about everything else under the sun. I first thought it mught be the drive, but I returned my first one and the second one does the same exact thing.

Please help

This tutorial will go over some of the DVD spec and will show how to burn a DVD from a DVD Folder created by all major authoring programs out there.
The burnng process is intended for creation of a DVD compatible with a standard Set-Top DVD.
Apart of the Tips I will give a working example for burning using Ahead's Nero Burning Rom.

i have been able to burn DVD-R to play in Sony standalone player. am using Ulead Moviefactory and Nero 5.5.6.4

i did try Nero 5.5.8.2 but didnt like the "express" format they have changed Nero to. i like the old style Nero. in any case, it does work for me.
