I have been having nothing but problems trying to burn to a DVD-R (tried different brands, same results). The burn fails before anything is written to the disc. This happens in both RecordNow Max 4.5 and the latest Nero Demo. The DVD will play movies without any problems, it will also write to a DVD-RAM through DirectCD. But burn to a DVD-R, not a chance! ASPI is reported as functional in both ASPICheck and Nero Info Tools. The drive is a Matshita (Panasonic) LD-F311 DVD-RAM/R. Here are the error messages I'm getting. Does anyone have any idea what may be going wrong? I'll try any suggestions. I'd be most obliged...

Nero reports the following whe the burn fails...

RecordNow Max reports as follows when it fails to burn...

Error 10 at Sector 16 - Command:55 Sense:05 ASC:26 ASCQ:00

This error suppsoedly means "Invalid field in paramatere list"

Totally lost and totally frustrated!

well i having probs too....after i used the video_ts from dvd2one!!
before i maked my video_ts with ifoedit and vobsub and other tools and it worked too burn them !!

do you have the problem resolve????
I have same problem whit nero I think maybe its beacause dvd2one???? but I correct the VTS sectors whit IFOEdit so i'm confused before I star to use dvd2one the thinks working good now I have this problem.... any sugestions?????

I think it's the media you use , try an other brand

my Pioneer is olso picky om media brand the latest Verbatim's won't burn in my A03 with firmware 2.0 (original)

and when i use Maxell or Mitsui dvd-r's al works fine

Burnin

have you all determined what part of the IDE chain the DVD is on?

not trying to be a smarty but most DVD's writes like to be on the SECONDARY IDE, and by themselves. Addon ATA controllers such as Siig and maxtor seem to give problems to certain drives. Your problem sounds like an underrun problem, which (just a guess) means you have either an IDE chain problem, or driver problem, or a version (firmware)problem. Try moving your DVD writer to another location. You don't need to worry about the media so much, just make sure it only burns at 1X. then if your successful go from there....just another option.

More Than Likely it's the blank media.
I also have the LF-D311 and it's darn picky,
So if you have no adaptec/roxio drivers hanging out and aspi is up to snuff .Maxell
or Sony or Verbatem are working here. Good Luck

The problem is the firmware, there is some firmware around that solves the problem, unfortunetely I can't remember whre, I had the same problembefore, updated the firmware and I could use any blank media. My drivers went corrup two days ago, so I am back to square one. I will let you know if i can find the drivers again

You can get the latest (and older) Firmware for you drive from http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.ph...&manufactor=18

Hi
I have a similar problem in the burner will not burn DVDs but will play dvds and play and burn CDs. It is not the burner for it works in another machine. It is not the media for it burns in same burner in another machine. It is not the burning software - have tried Nero / Record Now / Deep Burner. It also will not erase a DVD RW.
I believe it is driver/ XP related
This is what I notice while trying to burn or erase
- the burn light does not come on while trying to burn or erase
- it is near the end of the burn that it fails
- when trying to erase it takes a long time to erase and then kicks out the disc and it still has the same files on it.

Thanks for your help
