Failed so many times

[RoSPA)David]

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this but im lost as im a newb on here. I have had some problems trying to burn a FS film that is in avi fromat to DVD. I have been able to burn using this drive in the past, its running the latest firmware and i use it on a daily basis as a drive.

I have attached the error log. I have tried to read it, but its way over my head.

Hope there is help out there

Many thanks
David

Hi David (& Lynne )

Assuming the conversion went OK (you can test this on a software player), the problems seems to be in the burn.

Disc Manufacturer: CMC MA - G. AM3

Just about the worst blank disks around!!

Read and implement the Golden Rules of Burning.

Check the conversation? Ill try playing the dvd on media player?

The disks i am using have always worked before. I must admit however that it is the first time i have set nero to max quality. The disks are Phiips -R 4.7 version 2.1 revision 6 ( essentialy philips -R )

I have checked my device manager. Both drives are using ultra2

Just out of interest, i am using SATA for the HD so both drivers are set, if i remember correctly to master. IDE 0 and 1 as neither is sharing with HD

Change your media. CMCs are the worst going around. The brand name is irrelevant.

Do your conversion/authoring with vision but save to hard drive, then check the playability, sound synch, etc with nero showtime or other software player, then use nero to burn. Your error log was incomplete and mostly garbage.

TRhe brand name is irrelevant.

To some extent, but philips, HP and magnavox branded cmc mags seem to be the worst of the worst.

Of course if your burner is dying all this matters little?

I have saved to hd and watched. Seems ok. As i am using Nero7 Nero start smart, what is the way to complete onto disk? I have tried... "Make your own DVD, then chosen Add video files, where i navigate to the new Video_TS folder. Which files do i choose? I did try all of them, but it looks as though the final will give me a seperate video and menu page once recorded to disk?

Please Help this newb
