Falcn44,
The information you provided was helpfull.
You stated "I originally got my 1st dvd to burn with an earlier trial version of clone dvd and this is my 1st and only DVD Burner."
Have you done anything differently when your first burn was a success?
With this I mean have you added any software or changed any settings in AnyDVD and CloneDVD. Leave AnyDVD set to the defaults and do not enable speed control.

Since you say you have Nero installed, check and make sure you have no packet writing along with it such as InCD, if InCD is installed, uninstall it, it will cause problems.

When you put a store bought DVD into the drive and open up Windows Explorer, does Explorer recognize the drive and the files on the DVD, and will it play on the PC?
Just checking to see if Windows is recognizing the drive. I assume it is because you went through the motions of copying the DVD, only it appears it did not burn.

As sockeye mentioned, did you select the correct tab under the output method, it should be DVD/Writer, not DVD Files or ISO/UDF Image?

There is a possibility your burner is defective so we need to troubleshoot this as quickly as possible if you are a candidate to RMA the drive.
