Help with error when burning a DVD

[Minger]

I'm using DVD Shrink with Nero and for the most part, things go well. I get to a point where I start to get an error stating that burning did not complete successfully. This is usually around the 99% complete stage of burning. I have a Dell 8400 with the Philips DVD8631 burner. The following is part of the error log I get off of Nero. I did not see anywhere else in these posts where there is an error line - "Invalid Block Address" - see below. Any help would be appreciated.

From your incomplete log:

"TA-Status 0x02 (0x01, SCSI_TASTATUS_CHKCOND)
Sense Key: 0x05 (KEY_ILLEGAL_REQUEST)"


From the NERO website ("Error Messages"):

"13. I get a 'SCSI target error' when using Nero/Nero Express. How do I resolve this problem?

This error be caused by the following:

Normally caused by CD-R or CD-RW media the recorder is unable to work with. Or the media could be defective, dirty or just not compatible with the recorder.
Cables are known to cause this: loose cables, damaged cables, loose power connectors, etc.
Defective recorders are known to cause this. Test with another demo software to rule out software as the cause. If two software programs have the same symptom, your recorder may need service.
If the drive is being polled by another software's driver, it could hang the bus. Uninstall any other CD recording software you may have had on your system, as well as Nero. Then use Registry cleaner software to clean you registry. At last try a fresh install of our latest Nero release."



If you have more questions, always feel free to ask them...
