coddie · 08-05-2006, 10:50 AM

can anyone help please, my dvd burner is acting up and i dont know whats wrong. ive burned a few dvds (4 or 5) in the last few days, but now there is some sort of problem. im not sure is it the sofware either though, im using nero 7. i keep gettin an error "burn process failed" and it gives me an error log file. can anyone figure out from this what may be causing this, thanks for any help.
i have the log file if needed

depends on what ur trying to burn. try simulate and detect fastest burn speed before actually burning

yes that may help. (post a picture of your log thing)
but try using a different softwear. you can easily find free trial versons, or even free softwears for burning.
I heard good stuff from roxio
i love sonic record nownever had a problem with it, but it takes long
NTI is ok....but not the greatest.
Also, try burning something different.
