Burning problem- hardware related?

[Necron]

I have been using Record Now Max version 3.01 and also recently version 4 - Both exhibit the same error when trying to burn/copy a data disc in the DVD format. I have the following system:

Panasonic DVD-RAM LF-311 drive

OS: Windows 98/2000
PIII 1.0 GHz 512MB's Ram
ATI Radeon 7000 AGP Vid card
All patches and upgrades as well as drivers are current.
I have also run the drive and software on another system and I get the same errors during recording/testing.

When I try to test burn or burn it stops midway through the recording or testing phases and ejects the blank disc with the following error:

Terminated with Errors
Error -10 at Sector 1230864
Command 55
Sense: 05 ASC: 26 ASCQ: 00

Usually I am able to run a test burn till about 50% completion before the recording fails. In the above error message the sector address changes per burning attempts but it is always the same error message. I have installed and tried burning using Record Now Max (both versions) on two different systems - one running Windows 2K Pro and another running Windows 98SE - I have adjusted the drive cables and ran the drive as a master on a separate IE bus as well as in every combination as a slave/master on both primary and secondary buses with the same results. I have also tried disabling shadow bios via the bios settings with no avail.

I have also tried using other software such as Gear Pro DVD 6.0 and Nero version 5, same results but in a diferent error message.

Any help in this matter would greatly be appreciated.

First of all, forget nero, it worked for me but the play back froze in places and was pixelated in places. Recordnowmax 4 works perfectly for me. I'm assuming your drive is the panasonic that writes to DVD-r as well as DVD-ram because I can't remember if recordnowmax supports DVD-ram. If not, that could be your problem but then you probably would have gotten an error before the testing phase. Anyway, make sure you're setting up recordnowmax properly. Under data job options you have to change the file system type to:

UDF with joliet up to 106 in length, any char,plus joliet, plus 8+3 tree (bridge).

Also, the only 2 folders you add are VIDEO_TS (which has your movie) and AUDIO_TS (which is empty).
