the last few weeks, i have been getting more and more "failed" discs... most of the time, they dont strictly fail... they just lock up halfway through burning. usually between 30% and 50%, although the one i am doing right now got to 74% before stopping. clicking on the cancel button doesnt do anything, and i have to reboot to get access to my dvd writer drive again.
i thought it might be the media, but ive tried two types of CDRs (infiniti and verbatim) as well as DVDRs (some random printable dvd+r's and verbatim dvd+rw
it's a lite-on DVDRW LH-20A1H drive running ubuntu 7.10
the NeroHistory.log files shows this for when i just burned a dvd image...
(previously i tried burning direct to disc)

after creating an nrg disc image, i tried burning it to dvdrw at 2.2x. it locked up at 74% and has been doing this for 25 minutes+ now (it was only 1gb worth of data)... there are no updates to the logfile for this disc (does it write it after burning/failing/etc? because i dont usually get that far, i end up having to kill it/reboot.
I thought it might be because i had other programs running in the background (like ktorrent and firefox with around 40 open tabs) but this time i'm just running firefox with one open tab (this one, and top is showing i'm never using more than 3% cpu, there's plenty of RAM free, and there is nothing other than
nero using my discs.
normally i burn files from an external usb hard disk, which i thought might be the issue, so this time i burned to an NRG file on my desktop/local drive.
i'm going to drop the drive into another machine when i get to work tomorrow to see if it is faulty/has the same problems in windows. the drive is only a few months old, and the type of media i use hasnt changed. it never used to be a problem, now i'm lucky if i get one successful disc for every 10 burned. cdr or dvd, it doesnt matter.
i suspect nero is at fault. can anyone give me any suggestions before i rip the drive out and try it in another box?
(i'm using nero 3.0.1.3 btw)
heres an example logfile from when a disc failed but told me it had, instead of just locking up on me...
