1/2 sheep is for game backing up due to bad block copying, film/dvds are different (easier by far)

so - wont touch your drive! must be another thing

got any error logs nero?

Nothing here to see, move along folks.

It could be that the burner is not getting enough power...
Dirty lens...bad/incompatible discs...
or plain messed up burner.
Was looking at the "likes" that you have...burning @X20?

Yeah, Nec and Pioneer for wahtever reason don't wanna play nice when it comes to booktyping. I have a Nec with mod. firm. There is tons of support for Pioneer burners-modified firmware for booktype/riplock...

I have a Nec 3550A. it needs modified firmware to booktype. been using Liggy's for about 2 yrs.It cannot booktype to DVD-ROM the single layer DVD+Rs, not with original firmware. Unless Nec released recently a new firmware update.

Nec and Pioneer are members of the DVD Forum. They are the promoters of the DVD-R format. It makes sense not to support booktyping the rival DVD+R to DVD-Rom, which makes them more compatible with the stand alone players.
