Hi Joe

As fate would have it, I too use Intenso DVD disks, Nero Express as my burning software and, if you remember from last time, Windows XP Pro as my O/S.

Bearing in mind that our equipment and software are almost identical, I am somewhat surprised that you are experiencing the errors you are getting.

That said, may I suggest the following:

1) As an experiment, try using CD/R CDs instead of DVD/RW. Insure that you have, as near as possible, enough data to fill your CD/R (which is approx. 700MB).

2) Do a single burn, use the verification option if you have the time.

3) If you are happy with the CD/R burn then try a DVD/R using the same instructions as above.

I personally do not use CD/RW or DVD/RW because, for some reason, they have a tendency to go wrong and, if you do manage a successful burn with them then you can only play them on the DVD device that burned them.

However, a successfully burned CD/R or DVD/R can b played on any other DVD device with the necessary software, e.g a CD/R filled with JPEG pictures can be played on a modern DVD player.

Hope this helps.


UK Bob
