It's because we are using DVD Decrypter to burn. Use Shrink to create an ISO, then burn it with DVD Decrypter.

This way it will eliminate if Nero is the problem.

Okay aw213, it sounds like you are on the right track. Since you can't even burn a data disk, trouble-shooting 101 would dictate that you get back to the basics and figure out why. Cleaning up your system and returning to a prior 'known good' restore point is an excellent idea. At that point you might consider using inherent capibilities within XP i.e. copying files to a writable CD or using WMP to burn an audio CD or DVD, just to verify it will do that much.

and then away you go.....

Good luck! After you've accomplished that, we are here waiting with baited breath (mayhap turkey breath if it's tomorrow) to hear the good news or pick up the trouble-shooting where we left off.

Success!

Before I could not burn onto any media:
Now I can burn on Verbatim DVD-R, and DVD-RW. The brand I started with does not work for me.

I disconnected my DVD re-writer, 'cleaned out' Nero, restored to a recent checkpoint, and reinstalled. When I "cleaned" Nero using the utility you kindly directed me to, I was told 'errors were found'.

Checked the ASPAI and it was there.
Copied over 3.5 GB of photos to a Verbatim DVD-RW and it worked.
Tried same on Verbatim DVD-R and it worked.
Tried same on BRTECH DVD-R >>no good<<.

-I tried to used Nero to playback the photos on the Verbatim DVD-R but I got an error. However, my other photo software and MS picture and fax viewer displayed them back with no problems.

-I put the DVD with photos into my Philips DVD player and it played as a slide show on my TV. Amazing. I did not know this cheap unit could open folders and read JPEGS.

I used DVDShrink 3.2 and Nero for a movie: It worked!!


regor, flip218, bobsatguy, ripvan, bbmayo, jerry746, borbaleta thanks for sharing your collective experience. I'm impressed and grateful.

In Review:

(1)you all told me to check out the media: You were right, I had problems.
(2) you suggested to look if I had ASPI installed and if not directed in finding and installing the piece: You were right, it had disappeared, I suspect after I downloaded and installed Nero 6.6.
(3) You suggested I 'clean' Nero: you were right, the utility reported 'errors were found' in the registry.
(4) You gently suggested 'back to basic' logical thinking - thank you.


I will endeavor to contribute this experience back.
ps: oh yeah - and thanks to afterdawn for hosting the forum. Happy Thanksgiving.


live and learn!
