Hi Everyone,

Today I suffered 2 - DVD+R DL burn failures , on my WinXP Pro SP3 computer. I was attempted to burn with both DVDFab Platinum 5.1.1.0 and Nero 7 burning ROM. I was trying to write DVD files.
I tried with 2-separate DVD titles , that I had on my hard drive. Both DVD movies play back fine on my computer. I just can't get either one on a disk.
I'm using my SONY DVD RW DRU-720A external USB 2.0 burner. The drive works fine with 4.7 GB. DVDs . For the DVD 8.5 GB disks, I'm using Sony DVD+R DL disks .
The burn failure I had with DVDFab Platinum 5.1.1.0 , had a sudden "device unaccessible" error while the burn was working.
And I used DVDFab Platinum 5.1.1.0 to reset my DMA, but that didn't help.
With Nero 7 burning ROM , I first had a successful burn with a DVD 4.7 disk, but when I tried burning a 6.45 GB DVD folder , to a Sony DVD+R DL disk , it failed. I selected my recorder to the "physical disk type" for book type , and to "write extended lead out to dual layer disks" in Nero recorder settings. All started out well, but then I got some sort of "address error" and Nero said burn failure .
I'm attaching my Nero log with this post.
I've had my SONY DVD RW DRU-720A drive for about 1-1/2 years, and this is only the 2nd time I've burned to DVD+R DL disks. The previous time worked , but I used Verbatim disks, not Sony disks. I thought Sony disks would work well with a Sony burner ?
Could someone look over my Nero log file, and give me some feedback on what the problem may be ? This very frustrating , and these dual layer disks are expensive !
Thanks .

Hi!

Two things:

1) Stick woth the Verbatim D/L DVD+R media

2) Use IMGBurn to burn D/L DVD-Videos. It apparently does a better job than most other burning programs in properly establishing the critical "layerbreak"...

Today I tried burning with Verbatim DW+RW DL disc's . The first burn worked . The 2nd and 3rd were failures . I'm attaching the Nero burn logs for the two failures??????????
I cleaned the lens on my SONY DVD RW DRU-720A before the failures .
The video files I'm attempting to burn are on my External USB connected hard drive . Could that cause any problems ?

Can I safely have IMGBurn on my computer along with Nero 7 ?
