I would first try a better or more reputable brand of DVD+R's. LONGTEN from the research I've done is one of the worst.

[cynthia]

Could try to go down to 2x speed.

Another try could be to uninstall Nero InCD. There is an uninstall program at the Nero website.

Sense Key: 0x03 (KEY_MEDIUM_ERROR)

Not a Nero log reader expert, but I don't think the burner likes the media.

Echoing Cynthia's point and from ddlooping's sticky:

"Packet-writing softwares are also known to interfere.
Nero InCD is one such software and should be uninstalled."
