Data DVD Burn Failed

[Skavenger]

Hello,

I have recently bought a BTC DVD +/- Recorder, model DRW1004IM, I burnt my
first DVD RW no problem about 4.0GB consisting of 4 VHS Film Transfers.

The next DVD is where I encountered problems, I tried to back up about 4.3GB
of data from my Hard Drive organised into folders, I used a "Sky" DVD+R and
Nero 5.5.10.33, which came with the Drive. After a few complaints about
naming conventios and depth of folders, which I ammended, the DVD burnt away
very slowly though, about 15 / 20 mins.
Nero reached about 99 percent and started the lead out stage and BINGO The
message "Could not perform end of Disc-at-Once".

I have scoured the Net and found lots of examples of this that state that it
is a Nero compatability problem, one post said that versions of Nero 5.5 and
6.0 have the same problem and to use 5.5.10.42, which I could not find on
the Nero site so I downloaded 5.5.10.54 the latest version of Nero 5.5.
I have since found Nero 5.5.10.42 but have read another post saying that
this has a similiar problem.

I have also read that this problem appears with some Plextor Drives using
Nero and I have read somewhere that the drive in the BTC may actually be the
same as a Plextor, is this true?

Anyway before I waste money and start a coaster production line I need to
know:-
Which version of Nero should I use?
Should I upgrade the firmware on my DVD Burner? I have downloaded V043 from
the BTC site but they state not to upgrade if the drive is working which in
theory it probably is!!

Thanks in advance

If it can help you decide. My burner was working fine when I bought it but only with some media. When I installed the latest firmware, ALL media started working fine.

You should definitely upgrade it...Of course, this is my own view!!
