But my new DVD burner has come with NERO. It is a lot later than the other one I worked with and seems to have changed somewhat. But I still have problems. I tried burning a DVD and it worked OK. I did make sure that I had a multisession turned on but since then I just cannot get NERO to burn any more files. I am using 8x DVD-R disks and when I try to burn more files Nero informs me that the DVD cannot be used and please put a burnable disc in. Most irritating Tom	Thomas01 (317)
532227	2007-03-12 02:52:00	Are you refering to using Multisession, if so sometimes Nero's multisession table/list gets messed up as talked about eles where in this forum.	radium (8645)
532228	2007-03-12 03:05:00	Its most probably looking for a cdr not a dvdr for multisession. Thats why its saying put a burnable cd in.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
532229	2007-03-12 04:47:00	Have a look at this thread - may be the same problem that I had a while ago !! pressf1.pcworld.co.nz Misty :cool:	Misty (368)
532230	2007-03-12 05:06:00	No solutions so far. I am definitely using the DVD and not CD instructions and I selected multisession. If I put a new disk in on the same settings it works OK. It is almost as though I have selected single session! Tom	Thomas01 (317)
532231	2007-03-12 08:16:00	Most of the time I use k3b in Linux - but when I am forced (about once a week) to write in MS WIndows I use http://www.cdburnerxp.se/ . I too have had problems with Nero - have been using CDBurnerXP Pro since about October with no problems at all - give it a go!	johnd (85)
532232	2007-03-12 08:38:00	Is it perhaps the brand of DVD. I recently had problems with three Verbatim disks in a row. Seemed to be a faulty batch. Simply by trying a different brand everything came right. My problems spanned both Nero and Acronis on that occasion, so was definitely the DVD's and not the programs :waughh: Misty	Misty (368)
532233	2007-03-13 23:00:00	Well I am learning. Hopefully some correct 'stuff'. I went back to Dick Smiths where to be honest I find the staff to be helpful and pleasant. One chappy pointed out to me that using 8x DVD-R was not the right way to go (despite one other of the staff telling me when I bought it that this was the disk I needed). These disks are intended for a write once application. Best to keep them for films etc or huge amounts of data to be stored but not updated. For interrupted saving I should use 16x DVD+R. All seems quite logical the difference being the plus and minus signs. So I took his advice - bought some more disks - tried saving a couple of small files. Then went back later and stored a stack. This time it worked. Well almost. I ran into a problem and it actually failed to copy most of my photos - just shows the names only. But I suspect this time I was asking my computer to do too much and I need to get back onto the learning curve - perhaps a slower burning rate. At least its progress. I would appreciate even more feedback. Its obvious I have a lot to learn about burning (and even using) DVDs. One thing I do not know is how do the RW DVDs compare to RW CDs. On CDs I went through the process of using RW CDs and like so many others found them almost useless - a fair number of them are stuck in my "never use again" drawer. I went onto ordinary write once CDs. Tom	Thomas01 (317)
532234	2007-03-13 23:21:00	These disks are intended for a write once application. Correct thats what DVDR or CDR means, you can only write to them once. And if u use the multisession option (for data) in Nero, u can add to the cd or DVD later. Until u untick the multisession option then burn it, then it finalises it. One thing I do not know is how do the RW DVDs compare to RW CDs. The only diff is u can put more on DVDRW's. BUT u can u add to them and format them so many times. Thats the difference between DVD/CDR, and DVDRW and CDRW. You cant format CDR/DVDR more than once. It depends on WHAT you plan to use a DVD/DVDRW / CDR/CDRW in/on later. Some standalone players may not like DVDRW on CDRW for example. In which case, you'll have to use a CDR or DVDR to burn whatever to. And if u format either of the abovenamed, whether its DVDR, CDR, DVDRW, or CDRW for something like videos or photos (which u dont usually do, the program u use will do whats needed), most standalone DVD players wont play them either. They'll only be playable on a computer.	Speedy Gonzales (78)
532235	2007-03-13 23:25:00	DVD-R or DVD+R discs shouldn't matter which ones you use for burning multisession discs. DVD+R DVD-R (dvd-r is acutally said as DVD dash R not minus like a lot of people think). They are two competing technologies that use different formats. DVD+R discs allows multiple layers for one disc where as dvd-r only allows one layer. I would stay away from DVD RW as they are as bad as CD RW What speed were you burning at? I don't think that lowering your burn speed will solve your problem with you photos but you could try it. However you could probably try it again at the same speed you had before and it would work- (as far as computers go)	radium (8645)
