Hi
Sorry to hear about all your troubles with your new burner. I have the same burner and - though it's challenging to find compatible media (to say the least) - it works like a charm for me.

I suggest you start by downgrading the firmware to 0043. I'm not sure what's wrong with 0045 but it seems like BTC is aware of the problems themselves - at least it's no longer available on their website and has been replaced with 0043! The problems I had with 0045 is very similar to yours. I was unable to verify medias burned with this firmware in other DVD-ROMS. Secondly I suggest you update Nero to the latest version. AFAIK this is 5.5.10.54. Personally I use Nero 6.0.0.23 and it has been a while since I last tried v5.5.x. I'm not sure how often v5.5.x is updated these days, but it was solid as a rock the last time I used it.

If this doesn't help I suggest you try some other mastering software like NTI CD & DVD Maker 6.5. You can get a free trial from NTI's website. Remember to uninstall Nero and restart your PC before installing other mastering software. Otherwise you might end up with conflicting drivers. To play it safe you might want to run the Nero 5.5 cleanup tool after uninstalling Nero 5.5.

Now for some download links:
Firmware 0043 http://www.btceurope.nl/drivers/zip/...PFLIDR1004.exe
Nero 5.5.10.54 ftp://ftp4.nero.com/nero551054.exe
Nero 5 Clean tool ftp://ftp9.nero.com/attach/Nero-CleanTool.zip
NTI CD & DVD Maker http://www.ntius.com/

Oh, and please remember to keep us informed of your progress.

Best of luck,
Peter

P.S Do you have the website address of "Conrad"
