Ok, so I screwed up, it wasn't just the fault of Nero. The main problem was the Memorex disks, which....Kids cover your ears....suck donkey ba11$!!!

I found this out after trying that other piece of software I mentioned earlier also with the Memorex disks and it still failed! So I tried Nero again with a Verbatium disk and it worked perfectly. That was when I wrote a scathing letter to the Memorex tech support about the quality of their Dual Layer DVD's and I gave them all the specs of my system, including the drivers I'm using. The make and model of my DVD burners, and all the other jazz that matters.

They sent an immediate reply offering to replace the Disks, and I couldn't help but think, "Well that's nice of them, but I don't want to replace disks that don't work with more disks that don't work." So I told them off, and took the spindle back to Best Buy and got my refund through them. That's when I got some Sony Dual Layer DVD's and some TDK Dual Layer DVD's. I've been testing the Sony DVD's and I got through a pack of 15 with only one failure, I'm on the last disk now, not sure if it will fail or not.

I will test the TDK's next. We'll see what happens....But don't hold your breath.

On the note of Nero, I still have problems with it, since every time the DVD does fail to burn, Nero will promptly go back and attempt to start the burning process over again, in the process freezing out every other application running in windows. This attempt to reburn the DVD is of course doomed to failure while it sits there like a dumb-shit wondering..."I think I can, I think I can...". I've seen it waste an extra 45 minutes trying to reburn the DVD that just failed. Seems someone was smart the day they programmed that little feature.  The expediant way to fix this of course is to simply just shut off the PC with the reset button, rather then to try and load up a Task Manager that will also become frozen the minute it is painted on the display.

In conclusion, I still have a bone to pick with the software engineers who wrote Nero.

Cheers
