I see Nero in the subject line above. Does this mean that you're trying to use Nero under Windbloze to create the DVD? What are you doing with the DVD after it is burned? The growisofs solution under linux as Paul shows above would be much preferable to Nero. HTH Tom -- Tom Taylor Linux user #263467 Federal Way, WA
You may be experiencing data underrun. Check that DMA is enabled for your burner so that the burners data buffer does not run out of data and close opened applications. Manufacturers exaggerate the quality/capabilities of both media and burners. To get consistent results you should set your burn speed to one-half or less of the speed stamped on the media. For example: 16X DVD-R set the burn speed to 8X; 8X DVD-R set the burn speed to 4X.
