illegal disc error using NERO

[Kingscorpion1]

Hi, i am getting an illegal disc error message using NERO. I purchased a Sony DRU-800A which comes with NERO Burning Rom 6 - SE. I have followed some online instructions (thanks Cynthia!), but still getting same error message? I have updated NERO to 6.6.0.14, updated Sony firmware to KY03, used both memorex and sony dvd-r, also tried at 4x. After all of this i still get an illegal disc error when using NERO simulation.
Here is the log,

"Disc Manufacturer: RITEKG - 05"

if i'm not mistaken , i believe these discs have been known to create problems. could you by chance do a test burn on a rw disc or say a maxell?

[tigerman8u]

check here in the dvd burner section to make sure their are no compatibility issues with dvd media you are using www.videohelp.com

[Kingscorpion1]

Bought DVD+R's and they worked, still not sure as to why DVD-R don't work, but happy anyway, thanks guys for responding.

your firmware is over 2 years old and the newest/latest one available so
either find older media(some 8x) or try to crossflash to an nec 2500
