Answer» Hi everyone,
great place here. I hope I can get some help and also be of help, here and there.
So here's my problem. I'm using a light scribe DVD-Burner called LG HL-DT-ST DVDRRW GSA-4166B. I've been using it for a few years and never had any problems with it, through several computers. But lately whenever I burn a DVD-R with Nero the process stops at 79%. It says something like "target error". (I'm in Germany so the actual lange is German - not sure what the appropriate computer speak translation WOULD be) This happens every time now no matter what type of files I burn.
I tried uninstalling/reinstalling but nothing changes. Same with a restart. Also, I checked the IDE configuration and both my DVD-drives are on Ultra-DMA mode. I used to have some problems with DMA a few months ago when I noticed poor buffer levels while burning. Sure enough my burner would be on PCI for some reason but uninstalling/reinstalling fixed this. For now the buffer levels are at a healthy 96% but nonetheless the burning stops before its finished.
Anyone have an idea what this could be? Does Nero leave any error logs somewhere so maybe I could provide more information? Thanks and I appreciate any feedback.Quick question, what exactly are you burning?
Does this happen with all other files too?
Tried changing Discs?Yeah, I've used different discs and different types of files, but mostly movie files. I forgot to mention that everything lools ok in the device manager, no exclamation marks or anything.Try recording at a lower speed if you can.....Run as a sole task, Check task mgr list , close systray programs.....data source may be too slow. ..... Could defrag harddrive......or the burners gone south on you.Movie files? I wonder.....where did you acquire these movies?What do you mean with data source may be too low? I doubt that the problem is resources being drained because I encountered the error immediately after a restart when I had not run any other APPLICATIONS yet. I will try a slower speed. As for defrag I'm always hesitant to do that as from my experience it usually never helped with whatever problem I had. I'm always kinda afraid that it messes with my files.

Does it matter? The point is it happens with any type of files, images, docs, audio or video. Regardless their size.Wow, I just was able to succesfully burn a DVD-R with HALF the writing speed (8x). Strange! I guess something is the matter with properly allocating resources or memory when I'm burning at maximum speed. Either way, thanks for the tip Karnac! You're most welcome....Nero Will Display a log if you have it set to prompt you at the end
Also if it is doing this with ANY file and at the end [Where You are burning to full capacity of the disk it may be the DVD drive.
I had problems with mine using Nero and changed the DVD drive and it went away
I also Noticed when mine was doing this that a CD with close to 80 min's of music wo leave the last SONG or 2 garbled & corrupted
You may also go to the manufacturers Website for the make of your comp and see if they have any firmware UPDATES for the DVD drive [if this is 1 that came with your system]
