Data to DVD Problems

Ashtree · 02-26-2006, 05:52 AM

I cannot burn Data to my DVD burner. I have used several programs including Nero 6.3 and always the same result.

When I press "Burn" the computer locks up and has to be rebooted.

The drive burns movies just fine with DVDClone2. I can burn all the data I want to CD but not DVD. I want to back up my files on the PC but still am not able.

Please help.

Intel P3 700 running Windows XP SP2 and 512 ram with the latest LG firmware installed..

Thank you in advance.

Sorry your post went unanswered for so long. We try to answer everything within 24 hours.

I would try updating your Nero to the latest version available for the '6' series...it's like 6.6.10 or something. Sometimes just reinstalling will help things, but you might as well upgrade as it will include improvements and fixes.
You might benefit from rebooting before you try a compilation and burn. That will free up some memory. Also, close all other programs during a burn. Though the fact that you can burn DVD videos means your system is capable of burning DVDs and that would point to a driver or setting conflict somewhere. If you burn with nero, try and save a burn log, or enable auto save for burn logs and see if you can get a log for a bad burn or freeze. Then attache to post as a .txt file using the 'manage attachments' button in the 'go advanced' reply window. Do not paste into the body of your reply as they are long reports

Keep us posted on your progress.
