theres two types of media

DVD plus R

and

DVD dash R

nero is capable of burning BOTH formats

nero is NOT the problem its your drive/burner ,make sure you have the latest firmware update for the drive, check here

http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_all.php

your best brands to use are either Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim

and what version of nero are you using? you may need to update it
