I have just begun burning dvds, and i need a bit of help. I have a dvd player that plays DVD+RW and i have a NEC DVD+RW ND 1100A writing drive for my pc. I have verbatim dvd+rw discs.
Now, the problem is this. Burning to my media is working sometimes but not others. A while ago i ripped a disc using DVD shrink and saved it as an ISO file. I burnt it to DVD+RW today using DVD decrypter (after a bit of effort) and it works on my DVD player. I decided to make another disc using exactly the same media and the same method. I rip the dvd, save as an ISO, and burn it to disc using DVD Decrypter. It wont work in my dvd player. Also, when i put it in my pc again, it acts like there is no media on the disc. The DVD+RW that does work however, also gets the same response from the pc: Blank Media.
So i am thinking I might have drive problems, or I am doing it worng or something. I would appreciate any help. Thankyou.

what kind of answer is that, without explaining why.
at least if Lestat11 makes a cock up whilst he is learning the ropes he can erase the disc and do a new burn without wasteing hard earned cash.

Yes DVD+r are good and can be used for PS2 games and movies. I have never used a -R yet. It dosent mean others have good luck with them. Just depends on the burrner and the standalone player you are using. So to say dont use +R disc is bad advice. You need to do some testing with both types if your burrner takes both -r and +r and find out which one works better for the systems you want to play them on.
@Lestat11
My advice is get diffrent media. Just cause you get 1 good burn out of the same batch of DVDs dosent mean all the media is good. Bad media also includes inconsitency in burns. I have had media before where every other disc burnt good then the next burnt bad. Got diffrent media till I found media that worked best for me on a consitent bassis
So try diffrent media before buying a new Burrnner.

- first of all, your burner's firmware is 2 revision behind (looks like you have a DELL OEM drive). You need 10GE from here -
http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=301
Some food for thought for later, i remembered this - http://herrie.org/upgrdr.html - Basically you could upgrade your drive very slightly, by changing it into an NEC 1300A. This would allow you to burn to -R discs, but only at 4.0x for DVD-R and 2.0x for DVD-RW discs.
But as your drive stands, it is only presently capable of burning to 4.0x DVD+R and 2.4x DVD+RW discs.
But for now, update the firmware (make sure you pick the correct one!, 10GE)

Thanks, I'll try that. I just downloaded Nero Infotool, and i noticed something. It says that my ASPI installation is corrupted which doesn't sound healthy. Does this mean anything?

Hmmm, it's odd, it won't open with WinZIP so i extracted it to a folder, and that's all it does. I went into the folder and there are lots of different files. Usually when i open a file it will open in WinZIP and i can just install it.

It wasn't opening right with me so i installed it another way (run, browse, opened folder, opened .BAT, added XP32 to the end of the command and it installed)
Ok, now Nero info tool says:
WNASPI32.DLL Version 4.71
ASPI32.SYS Version 4.71
WINNASPI.DLL Version N/A
So i think the last one might be the problem?

Yup, i've done the firmware, the drive is now recognised to have 10GE firmware installed. The ASPI thing still is said to be corrupt, maybe Nero infotool is being odd? Thanks for all the help by the way. I will try and burn another disc and see if the firmware has done anything.

Well, i have burnt two ISO images onto DVD+RW and they have both worked so far; I think instaling the new firmware done the trick. Thankyou very much for your help creaky, it is much appreciated.
