    DVDrs Started Skipping After Honestly 200-300 Perfect Burns...

    Hello Everyone,

    I burn dvds all the time. I have burned at least two hundred, as the bare minimum, and quite possibally over three hundred dvds, all problem free. I went home from college for winter recess, came back, and started burning dvds again (my computer was left here). Upon my return, I started burning dvds once again, and the first few worked perfectly, but slowly and slowly every now and then i started getting a disc that either wouldnt boot or would and would be choppy (skipping). This was a first for my dvd-burner. As I tried burning more and mroe dvds, i got more and more failures, to the point where the last 5 i burned in a row failed. Its not the ISOs that are poor quality, that i'm positive of. Its something to do with the burner. I use DVD decryptor, as well as NERO every once and a while to burn file format dvds, but I am now getting the skipping problem with dvds burned by either program. Could somebody please shed a little light for me? Do dvd-burners fail after a certain number of burns? Like i said, mine has had heavy use, but is less than a year old so whats the deal. I'm going to buy a lens-cleaning disc in a few hours, and am praying that that solves the problem, as I really can't see what else could be wrong with it. All the settings have always been the same, no new hardware that is interfering with the burn, etc. etc. If there's some other possible malfunction with it that i am overlooking besides the lens just be dirty, please, let me know.

    Thanks Everybody,
    T.West

    post your latest nero log


    questions about media, the writer, firmware etc can all be answered in there. it is possible too that the writer is on it's way out or needs a lens cleaning.

      another problem

      last time i had a problem i just used a dvd-drive cleaning disc, and that cleared things right up....

      however, just yesterday my NERO stopped burning dvds correctly, and i have no idea why. here's the log from my last attempted burn (it failed). usually i burn dvds at 4x speed, but this time the only speed i could chose was 2.4x so thats what i did. any help would really be appreciated.

        Dvd writers do sooner or later need replacing if you was having complete sucsess before you went on your winter recess and nothing on your pc has been changed i.e. settings while you was away or since you got back it may be time to buy a new burner
