The answer is simple but frustrating: The greate SATA Plextor devices don't run with ASUS A8V and its VIA SATA controller. I have a Plextor 712SA running on the same board, had exactly the same problems with NERO (Error.log is identical to yours!!!). Reading from DVD/CD is perfect, but burning gives erors described.
Well, my Plextor is now a 712A !!! Yes, I removed the greate SATA-Bridge from the back of the device. It's now running as PATA at the IDE-Bus and the Errors are gone!!!
Great job Plextor, these SATA device only run on a hand ful of SATA controllers, and the compatibility list is faulty.
This is definitely my last Plextor!!!
