help..nero dvd burns NOW fail

Welcome to the Forum. Did your problems start when you started using these blank discs or have you always used them?

Hi, my problems just started when out of a 50 pack of disc I was at about 10 left, then I switched to another 50 pack and the problem persists. One thing today I tried a dvd+rw, which it did burn to, then i tried the dvd+r again and it failed. Any suggestions. Thanks for anything.

My DVD burns with Nero 6 were failing. I asked Nero why and was told to (1) go offline, then (2) open msconfig and disable ALL the programs in STARTUP.

No more Nero problems after that!

Hi TigerZ,

I am new too! Are your DVD's "Verbatim". It seems that I have more problems with that brand than any other. I have found "Memorex" to be more reliable. I've found that the softwared DVD 1-2-3 copies disc that Nero will not. I often use DVD 1-2-3 to copy DVD's now.

Here are other possible answers
2. Drive Connection
Other devices may be interfering with the CD-R/RW drive. Disconnect all other removable devices, then try recording again. If there is still a problem, try the following.

Optimal Hardware Configuration

All hard drives are placed on the Primary IDE, check that the drives are correctly set as master/slave. CD-ROM/CD-R/RW drives are placed on the Secondary IDE, set the recording drive as the "master". If you are using a USB or IEEE devices, disconnect them.

Update your chipset

Windows 95/98/ME Users
Right click on [My Computer] and select [Properties] from the menu. Click on [Device Manager], then click to open [Hard Disk Controllers]. You will find: the Primary IDE Channel controller, the Secondary IDE Channel controller and a brand name controller, e.g. Intel, SIS, VIA, etc. The brand name controller is what needs to be updated. Please visit their website to obtain these updates.

Windows NT/2000/XP Users
Right click on [My Computer] and select [Properties] from the menu. Click [Device Manager] on the [Hardware] tab, then click to open the [IDE ATA/ATAPI (hard disk) controllers] section. You will find: the Primary IDE Channel controller, Secondary IDE Channel controller, and a brand name controller, e.g. Intel, SIS, VIA, etc. The brand name controller is what needs to be updated. Please visit their website to obtain these updates.

Configure Windows
Make sure that your operating system has been fully updated. Visit the Microsoft website to acquire these updates.

5. Disc

Recording errors often occur when the disc is dirty, or has fingerprints or scratches. If an error occurred during test simulation (before actual recording), clean the disc. If you are getting recording errors, try the following.
Use a different blank, recordable disc.
Use a different manufacturer's disc.
Ensure the disc is clean before recording:
Remove all fingerprints, dirt, and dust from the shiny side of your disc using a nonabrasive cloth with a mild, nonabrasive soap solution.
Wipe the disc from the center to the edge of the disc.
Dry the disc completely.

Error during file verification
If an error occurred when the files were being verified, record the same files again using a different disc.

Read error when copying a disc
When copying a disc, if an error occurred while reading data from the original disc, the original disc may be scratched or dirty.
Try cleaning the disc.
Remove all fingerprints, dirt, and dust from the shiny side of your disc using a nonabrasive cloth with a mild, nonabrasive soap solution.
Wipe the disc from the center to the edge of the disc.
Dry the disc completely.
Try using a different source drive.
To change the drive you use to read your disc, click the Change button when asked to insert a source disc into your drive tray.
Select the drive you wish to use from the drop-down menu.
Insert your disc into the new drive.
Try using copying the disc using one drive as both the source and destination drive.
When you use your recorder to both read and write to your disc, B's Recorder GOLD creates an image file of the entire disc to your hard drive and then copies that temporary file onto your blank disc. This can be helpful if the drive you are using to read your original disc is slow or unreliable.

hi i usually find when nero starts to fail burns i can usually sort it by updating the firm ware of my dvd writer if it still fails then i uninstall nero and re-instal. i tend to stick to using datawrite discs as they have a more reliable ink apparrently. for example in the last 600 burns i've only had about 20 fails.

**LT. Columbo** · 19 Mar 2006, 04:32 AM

with superior media such as sony 08d1's, about 450 burns--no fails, no skipping.

I was nearly tempted yesterday, 10 blank Memorex in their own dvd cases for $9. So I had my cheap nature on one side telling me, do it & on the other side all these Forum voices saying made in Taiwan/ Memorex, what are you crazy. I resisted temptation & will stick with the Sony's. I mean Sony had to be good for something.

**LT. Columbo** · 19 Mar 2006, 06:00 AM

yeah especially if you are not sure how they will work for you. that's a lot of dough for memorex anyway. i get my sony's for about 47 cents each.
