I have an annoying problem thats been happening to me for the longest time.
Every time I try to burn a DVD data disc in Nero Express I get this error right after I hit Burn:
"Not able to write Disc-at-once on an open disc"
It's really frustrating now being able to burn something when this always pops up.
I'm not sure if this will help but here is the error log:

I haven't used Nero for a while, but it seems to be indicating that (in Nero's case) a DVD±RW is required - not the DVD-R that is inserted - if you intend to use create a multisession disk.
