Looks like a dual-layer

Last address to be written: 2286111 (508:01.36, 4465MB)

This can fit on a single-layer

[EDIT]

SONY DVD RW DRU-810A> Version: 1.0a

Firmware can be upgraded to 1.0F

I'm using memorex dvd-r

[Chewy]

what kind of disks are you trying to copy(not burn) with nero?

[2COOL]

Update your firmware (look at my previous post for link) and if you have problems in burning again, reply back.

From my personal experience...

memorex

Thread moved.

[tortuga]

the disks I'm trying to copy are memorex too

[Chewy]

trying to make a copy of a copy, that's fine but problematic

if they were crappy burns then it can be almost impossible

I would break it up into 2 parts, if they were older dvd movie backups
I would try dvdshrink or even dvddecrypter and try to get a good rip to my hard drive before burning

[2COOL]

Read The Golden Rules of Burning. I concur with Chewy. IMO, bad media in, bad media out.

[camellote]

You have a SONY DVD RW DRU-810A (a great burner) that can be crossflashed to BenQ 1640, and then you can upgrade the firmware to BSLM (my favorite), or BSRB (the last firmware available)

I use Nero Express 6.6.1.15 now and do the quick copy in that program and never have a problem making a copy.
