hi
on first impression it sounds like your pc is under par, re ram or cpu speed? may need abit more?
or you are doing other stuff aswell at the same time?
or could be a virus?
Nothing here to see, move along folks.

@kev01 - as per Rotary's question -
we can get some of that info from your Nero logfile, it's in c:\program files\ahead\nero\nerohistory.log. ALL burns, good and bad are appended to this log, so copy/paste the last section (which would be the simulated burn). Anyway, don't paste your serial number which usually begins with '1A21'..
The serial number is a good pointer to look for in the log anyway, as it helps differentiate the sections (ie each section is a different burn).
Run Nero's info-tool, note down the following, and paste here. Here's what mine shows -
click on the drive tab, note down the firmware version
click on configuration tab, note down the DMA fields, ie on or off
it may be worth clicking on the aspi tab, and note down anything that might be missing
As to ASPI, i'm still not 100% whether it's needed in XP, no matter how many times i read up on it, i'm still none the wiser.
I've always installed it and it doesn't make things worse, plus i never read about installing it making problems so that's good enough for me.
You could post your own pictures - i do this the same way, but i copy/pasted this from one of the moderators' posts -
Step 1: push ctrl + PrintScreen (above the insert button)
Step 2: Open paint .. click start -> programs -> accessories -> paint
Step 3: push ctrl + v
Step 4: crop your image. I crop what I want to show -> cut it -> open new -> paste it. Crop only what you want to keep
Step 5: save as jpeg
Step 6: Host the jpeg here: http://imageshack.us/

- oops :) you've posted your entire nero log. therefore your serial number is repeated thru whole log as each burn is appended to the log. Go thru and chop out all except the last section of log (for the last burn; that's what i've done here) --->

- i'd leave stuff like that after your pc is setup correctly for burning.. (i still don't do on the fly, though with CD's i have done for a few years now)

Last address to be written: 1405551 (312:20.51, 2745MB)
- this is fine as this particular burn is only writing 2745MB to this disc, the 4489MB is the very edge of the disc so you're nowhere near the edge of disc; however just in case you use DVD Shrink sometimes to create movies, set your target size to 4300MB so no films will ever try to go over 4300MB -

Quote:

- even though this burn worked, i'd suspect that any burns that had huge buffer fluctuations during the burn will be prone to skipping on playback (i've had that happen to me and it resulted in crap playback)
Quote:
aspi is not installed
it doesn't harm anything to install ASPI - download it here and run it afterwards - http://www.afterdawn.com/software/cdr_software/cdr_tools/aspi.cfm
So to sum up, i'd get that firmware up to date for the DVD burner, and i'd ease off on the on-the-fly stuff 'til you can get stable burns from say, normal burns first, ie from the hard disc. There are ppl who do on-the-fly and have good results but i don't risk it myself, can't afford to make coasters!

i wish, but like the advert says 'you got to do the Lottery to win'
:)
as for the pc, nice one, my brother has a couple of those, my spec isn't far off. It's probably just the firmware then. I tend to focus more on the logfile than anything else when helping ppl. Just going to venture out (i'm in the UK and it's gone chilly) to fetch some booze
