Sony DVD RW DW-G120A (MYS6WIN Firmware)XP SP2 and enough RAM and CPU with Nero Burning Rom 6.6.0.19, DMA ON, Autorun ON, System ASPI (Adaptec), and also I use ConvertXtoDVD 2.2.1.253.
So the problem I have is that the drive wont see burned DVDs on (Phillips DVD-RW version 1.0, revision 1.0, 120min media) discs but yet the drive will read an original DVD and also a CDR CDRW so im really pulling my hair out.
The only thing I can thnk of is that ConvertXtoDVD has somehow knackered the DVD-RW discs after if finished writing them, but the odd thing is that the discs are playable in a standalone Sony DVP-NS305 DVD Player.
And the only other thing I have done is to erase the DVD using Nero but since then I have burned another film onto one of the discs and that worked ok in the Sony DVD Player.
So can anyone shed some light on the matter is it a rubbish Sony DVDRW drive or is the Media rubbish or is ConvertXtoDVD somehow rubbishing the media as I now have 3 unreadable discs when inserted into the PC.
Please help as im going mental, Many Thanks

P.S This is with a slipstreamed XP with SP2 install (if that makes a difference)

If not, see if your connections are al correct and not damaged in any way. IDE, power, etc.
Thanks for the reply,
But I found the problem, the drive lens wasnt picking up DVD data but it was reading CD data as the lens must have had a fault, I put the media in another PC and it worked fine I bought another drive and tried the same disc in that new drive and it worked a charm, so the drive was kaput.
Cheers mate, I was just a little worried as where to download from as reading some threads here sourceforge was mentioned as the download site as Pheonixlabs had some internal problems, as I read it one of the developers did a runner with some money and Pheonixlabs may of been a bit iffy to download from, I just searched for peer guardian on this site and read a few of the threads, but they were older threads.
