Up till now I have had great sucess with Nero 5.5 using DVD Video template but I am having some bizarre burn failures with Nero 5.5 at the moment. I also get the same failures using Record now, Image tools and DVD Decrypter.
I can only burn a disc successfully if I run it through simulation mode first (x4) and even then it may fail on the burn stage. I usually use Datawrite yellow tops, have also tried Princo white tops.
The drive will write to a -rw with no failures.
I have two hard drives on the same ide channel, and my writer and dvd-rom on the other. I also have a cd-writer on a external enclosure. My dvd writer jumper is on cable select (It has been on that setting since February 2003). I installed the second hard drive just a couple of weeks ago. That's when the problems started. Since then I have tried burning with the second drive disconnected and not present on the hardware set-up.
I have defragmented both hard drives, un-installed the drives and re-booted etc, but still get failures.
The really weird thing is, I can burn 100% no problems with Copy2dvd
I have done a full system recovery but still no success with Nero. The drive will burn a cd no failures.
I think it is a hardware issue, but I will be buggered if I can trace it.
Question
Why does Copy2dvd work and Nero fail ?
Could someone advise me on the best configuration of the hardware.
Would Nero 6 solve this problem ?
Thanks in advance.
