Hello all, please bear with a newbie for a few moments, if you will. I have been using Nero Recode quite successfully for some time now. But, a couple nights ago I started getting burn errors every time I use it. The process works works perfectly up until about the last 30 seconds of burning, then stops, and I get "INVALID FIELD IN COMMAND, BURN PROCESS FAILED". This NEVER happened to me before the other night, and since then I've made 5 coasters out of 5 dvds. The software has been reinstalled several times, and I have updated my drive's firmware as well. One of the error logs is pasted below- any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
