try reinstall it the drivers





or





try other burning software





(infrarecorder is a good open source burner (iso, audio, mp3, dvd, data, ...))
Reply:perhaps the drive is physically damaged.( it can be the optical lens ). you shud try first by re-aligning the wires stuck in the dvd writer (means removing and again tucking it).


because the writer was well this week, so perhaps the software is quite right.


next you can use a drive lens cleaner .


maybe you tweaked some settiings in your writer software thats causing the problem -try reverting to old settings .


at last but not the least you could be wriiting at higher speeds that your hard disk doesnt support .
Reply:The burning software to use should be Nero, try nero and uninstall that soft u have now
Reply:disc at once (dao) burn software. try shutdown it should clear it out. dao stutters. but it is the standard. does it play ok?
