check your dvdr media

You have to check your media?? Do you get any error message in nero if so post here.... Do not use cheap media... What media are you using??? Try a different media and post here....

i didn't get any error messages in nero or blindwrite. i'm using bulkpaq and never had any trouble with them before

[trickytwista]

hmmm i used them in past and had no probs, even though they are cheap brand, have you tried simulating the burn? if so was there any errors... maybe try burning slower? cheers

[skitty]

tried burning at 4x and 1x and they both give out coasters.

haven't tried simulating yet. i know the files i'm burning are in good condition cos i made them myself

well try some other media, memorex, ridata, and verbatim are all quality disks.

I had similar issues with my DVD writer. I used Ulead, CDBurnerXP and Nero. At different times one program or the other would create a bad DVD. Fortunately I was using a RW disk and when I used a different program it worked. The offending program wouldn't even recognize the disk. This would happen in formatting the disk also. If you try CDBurnerXP (free) on a DVD, keep in mind that it has a limit on how much it will burn to disk. You'll have to check to see how much it is and I don't know if they got that resolved. It was something like 4G out of the possible 4.7G.

I haven't seen anyone else ask so I will... have you checked to see if there is a newer firmware release for your DVD burner? Maybe there was a problem that might have been fixed in a newer release.

Use nero cd-dvd speed and post your PI errors scan here... What burner are you using???? Have you enabled buffer underrun protection while burning????

[skitty]

when i try and do a PI on a writern disc it says no media inserted.

I simulated the write and that worked fine, no errors there.

and i have the ultrabuffer enabled on auto if thats what you mean

I've writtern some movies recently to disc and they seem to work perfectly fine
