Yes i have the same issue since my windows xp was installed for like 6-8 months and i needed a fresh version so i tried the sp1 and sp2 xps and thats when my burner fails on 95% of my burns. I used nero/recordnow/clonecd/dvd decryptor/alochal 120% and bunch of others it fails on Nero with finalizing and in dvd decryptor it goes to 0% and then says complete which it should go up in % not just 0% to finish.made over 75 coasters trying to get this working my xp old cd is to scratched to reinstall it so im stuck with all this sp1 and sp2 junk. i read on google alot of people having this issue with sp1 and sp2 is even worse i read. im on winxp sp1 right now 512ram 160 gig sata seagate 1.8 ghz. just tried last time with Nero says cant perform disc at once and after that says unable to recover toc. happens with toc on all. tried a dvd+rw and worked fine but this media works fine with the drive in my friends pc.

Hi williamb and jarksin

There are may reasons why DVD burners have problems burning.
APSI - see the guide http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/aspisetup.cfm
DMA - see the guide http://www.cdrlabs.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=7625
Burner firmware
Media - see the guide http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
Hardware
Software
The list can go on
Once all the basics are covered, then it is time to start a deeper look into the problem.
It takes a whole lot of searching and observation to resolve the deeper problems
Since my initial DVD burning issue in August, I have sinced learned that VIA has problems with certain chipsets combos with Windows XP and the miniport drivers.
There are a lot of forum members with lots of different experiences who could help if you could supply some more information about the computers being used, the burner and the media

I hope this helps

Please look at http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/116803 . And I can't enable DMA mode because I don't have that advanced tab.

oops i forgot most important things media and burner =) Media is ridata R03 there like ridata drd-474-rbcb or something to that effect disc ids shows ritek r03-02 or r03. burner is pioneer a06 and its fully upgraded. i did what williamb did and tried burning on pui mode omg it took 55 mins to burn it and it burned perfect. I a pretty sure its the new updates that i installed and ones that came with this sucker. it must be some update ms made that effects the communcation between the burner and the pc or drives somehow i never had to deal with this dma and pui or whatever in the 14 years i been using a pc. the drive burns all fine in my windows xp thats got no updates at all i had to listen to people that kept nagging me to update my os or i will be sorry so i did. just wish my winxp recovery cd works on my custom built pc i made. i seen patches from ms that supposed to fix the burning in Nero for sp2 or sp1 i tried that but didnt do nothing and searched google nonstop and reinstalling from scratch over and over isnt solving it i upgrading to every aspi drivers i found and updated all my drivers for my pc. btw sorry for the messy msg got the flu and waiting on this attempt at another burn with dma back on but wanted to fit in this msg before i goto bed here in a few mins. if there is any other info you need let me know i am type of a person that will do the google hunting for weeks and if all fails i signed up here since people seem to be nice and helpful and i seen this guy here saying same stuff i am having problems with but i tried many other fixes or stuff i read to do and nothing so far worked besides making the ide to pui mode and that worked but it chugs my system to a crawl and takes almost hour per dvd. thanks

Hi williamb and jarksin

From the sounds of your posts, I believe you have a motherboard/IDE driver issue.
VIA has a special IDE tool to set DMA
Intel has the Intel® Application Accelerator were you set your DMA
Nvidia chipset drivers are known to have problems
SiS has IDE drivers

Do you know which motherboard and chipsets you have.

I hope this helps

Ya i got dma back but just wanted to note after i switched the adv tab where it should be was now gone hehehe. yes im using nvidia geforce2 card on my pc does that effect burning at all? i got the newest installed i even tried installing like 5 different driver versions when i got this fresh install of os on here. I got a temp fix somehow i converted my 2 drives back to dma but my usb external case that holds my other hd must be set to pui mode still cause it burns slow and buffer cant seem to fill it goes nuts but since it isnt master with os i can do stuff while i burn again. but 55 mins for 4x burning is insane like i said temp fix. just sucks i built this pc a year ago didnt do no new hardware adding since burner and all i did was reinstall windows xp sp2 fresh install since old os was getting laggy and to much spyware was messing with me =) so i took the leap to install windows xp sp2 and thats when it all started then i switched to sp1 and that just made more % of bad burns then sp2. sp2 i had to make the file size to like 4.1 gig size not normal 4.4 or so size i always did but i made coasters then but not as much. just curious what ms did in the updates that could effect my stuff and others like this. i got a epox 4g4a+ mobo and that sucker is a nice board for a 1.8ghz that can be overclocked ok with my extra fan to 2.4 ghz but i stick with 1,8 ghz just in case.

Hi jarksin

There are special ide drivers for your Epox 4g4a+ Motherboard - see http://www.epox.nl/english/support/drivers/intel.htm
for details

Look for the Intel® Chipset INF drivers / Busmaster drivers

I hope this helps

hey peeps, got a big prob with my dvd player. pretty new to players..got myself a benq dvd+rw. DW800A model B2D7.Just installed it an having problems.

Heres the thing. My computer recognises the drive but doesnt refer to it by name. refers to it as atapi dvd+rw 8x4x12. It plays dvd movies an doesnt play dvd rom games or play dvd-rom stuff that you get on eg special edition dvd movies. I cant burn dvd's either. Every time i try to it asks to insert a blank dvd same wi games. I got legit cd's yet it insists I insert a legit cd.

I tried the benq website to download drivers incase I dont have uptodate or anything but cant find the driver or model I need. Tried removing drive from control panel system hoping when i reboot xp would recognise it but instead when I open my computer the drive comes up but its not a cd icon. Comes up with an icon like xp doesnt have the program to open it. I can open the drive an the files are there but still wont work...

Would really appreciate any help folks otherwise i think my puters going out the window

Hi Harley_1
The BenQ 800A is an awesome +R burner. I bought mine in August. I was so impressed that I now own 3 BenQ burners. The lastest firmware can be found here http://dvdpro.club.st/firmware/BENQ_FW.htm

Have you checked the following
APSI - see the guide http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/aspisetup.cfm
DMA - see the guide http://www.cdrlabs.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=7625
Media - see the guide http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm

If all this checks ok, then more information about your computer will be needed to help you resolve your problem.

I hope this helps

Hi Harley_1

Use the check APSI file to confirm that all the aspi drivers are of the same version.

Can you give more details of the movies and games not playing

I hope this helps

Alright mate, right ive checked the aspi and its come up wi the following -

ASPI32.SYS 4.71.2
WOWPOST.EXE 4.6 (1021)
WINASPI.DLL 4.6 (1021)
WNASPI32.DLL 4.71.2

The games I was playing that keep asking for a legit disk when theres already one in the drive were Obscure, Deus ex-invisible war, FarCry. Forgot to mention the thing works fine when a standard cdrom disk is in it. Works like a charm.

Hi Harley_1

Your ASPI layer needs to be all the same version - use this link to download 4.6 http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/support/driverdetail.jsp?cat=%2fOperating+System%2fMicrosoft+Windows+95&filekey=aspi32.exe

I find this version is stable and will have all of the APSI layers with the same version.

I hope this helps

Hi Harley_1

I just googled the DVD error code in your last post. The search suggested three possible problems

1 - How the Benq player is installed in the system. It should be the master on the secondary IDE port.

2 - Try setting the transfer mode to PIO and reboot
(Go into your device manager->IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers. Right click on secondary and choose properties. Go to the advanced settings tab and choose PIO only for "transfer mode". I would ensure that your drive is connected to the secondary controller first.)

3 - You have a Virus

Let me know if any success

Which motherboard is in your system ( make, model and chipset)

Thanks
