I'm currently having problems with CDR's burned in Nero turning out to be only readable in my CD-RW (TDK 12/10/32). The CDR's are not readable in other CDROMs and appear to be blank. The problem appears to be somewhat random, while the burns are reported as successful.

After a fresh install of Nero, I can usually get through a few CDRs fine. But, for some reason, I lose that ability in time. I recently updated Nero to version 5.5.10 and was able to write CDRs with Disc at Once/96, but now neither DAO96 or DAO write mode creates a correct CD. As far as I can tell, the amount of data does not matter. Sometimes overburns work, others normal burns do not. Write speed also do not seem to be a factor. I'm using a stack of cheap CDRs from Wal-Mart (Durabrand 700/80m 16x), but i've written many successful CDs with such.

Nero's Help Database entry on blank CDRs suggests disabling DMA on certain burners, although my burner is not listed there. Disabling DMA had no effect with my drive. There are no firmware updates available for my drive, and I believe the problem is unique to Nero, as I did not have these problems when using the evaluation version of Clone CD.

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

have u tried using different brands of media at all?

Not recently. I'll try to pick up some higher quality discs when I go out.

I have burned around 50 readable discs with this brand...
