Hey guys,

When I try to burn a CD using Nero7, it says the burn was successful. However when I look at the CD contents, it's empty. So I looked at the Nero log and these lines kinda jumped out at me:

Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

and

TOCType: 0x00; Session Closed, disc not fixated

FYI: The media that I'm using is Memorex CD-R, and I have heard that they're rather crappy.



Here's a post of the log if anyone can help me pinpoint what's going on:

This is a ridiculous speed to try and burn at even with top quality discs, you are using memorex, possibly the WORST you can buy.

No matter what brand of disc you use, slow burn to max24 and dispose of those memorex. Try some Verbatim or sony that are made in Japan

Heres a link about memorex

Two very wise decisions, glad your up and burning again...keep your speed slow and dispose of those memorex you have left, Cheers.
