Im currently using Nero 8.2.8.0 Micro. This is the first time in using a Micro version of Nero, to avoid the extra stuff I dont want, but every time I use it, im getting a write error, and I cant seem to use those dics later.

How can I fix this?

Hello -nobody-, welcome to CDF

Does Nero Micro offer the chance to save an error log when a burn fails?

If so, can you post the log here - it'll help us see where in the burn things are going wrong, and why.

Ummm....Use legit software not some hacked crap.

Where can I check about the logs? Ive scanned though the Menus and didnt find something like that.

I heard that Nero Micro is basically Nero without the extra software. Does it make a difference?

If it does, then which Nero version should I choose, since I dont want too much extra stuff.

You can chose what to install during the initial installation. Just chose custom installation.

I heard that you cant remove all the extra software, so I went for Micro, all I need is the burning software, so if it possible to remove everything else, ill revert back to the original Nero. And hopefully, that'll solve the problem.

Yeah, you can basically uncheck everything except the Burning ROM portion if you do a custom install.

At least the regular Nero should offer you to save an error log if a burn fails

If you only need to burn use Imgburn, forget nero altogether.

^Hands down agree there.

Downloaded an original Nero and I got a write error again.

What exactly are you trying to burn, what media are you using?

On that attempt I was trying to burn some software setups, but it doesnt matter really, since I cant seem to burn anything (video files, music files. Anything)

Im using CD-Rs from Sony.

After trying out different softwares, I noticed that:

Nero Burning Rom burns less than 10% and shows that error that I posted earlier.

Nero StartSmart burns more than 90% and says Write errorG: tsstcorp/dvdw sh-s182f.

ImgBurn burns upto 75% and just stalls there.

Tried to burn flv files.

What type of blank media are you using?

Do you have an extra burner you could swap out with that one?

Im using CD-Rs from Sony.

And no I dont have a spare burner.

It's possible your burner is on it's way out. Do you have a friend that has an external burner you could borrow in an attempt to isolate the problem?

If so, i'd give that a shot.

None of my friends have externals unfortunately, is there any other way to know the problem?

Any idea on whats wrong?

Honestly...it sounds like your burner has given/is giving up the ghost. Thus the recommendation of an alternate burner.

Hmm ill try burning a DVD later, with that, ill know if its the media or my burner.

Let us know if there's anything else we can do.

I hope your burner's not toast.

I asked my friend regarding my problem, and he told me to burn in safe mode, not sure if it would make a difference, I burned a Sony DVD-R in safe mode and it completed successfully.

Does burning in safe mode make a difference or was it the change in media?
