Session Fixation And Cannot Read DVD's

PostPosted: Sun Jan 07, 2007 11:38 am

Hi there

New to the forum, so firstly hello!

Could you help me with a small problem that I have been getting. I wanted to make backups of some MP3 files, so I went out and purchased a Philips DVDR1660P1 (Firmware 1.6, latest) DVD writer drive and I am also running Nero 6.6.1.4 (as part of the Nero 6 Suite) - I'm using Logik Dvd+R discs as well as Sony Dvd-R discs.

Firstly I should say the drive seems to be able to read normal DVD's without any problem, and is very responsive. However when I put in one of the blank DVD's for writing, Nero reports "No Disc Inserted or drive not ready, please try again", and also it reports no disc present in My Computer.

Now the really weird thing is, every now and again when I put in it does work (less than 10% of the time), but when I try to record a disc even at low write speeds like 2x and 4x, it gives me a "session fixation error" - although I have managed one sucess out of probably two dozen attempts.

I have enclosed the Nero log in case it helps.

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve the problem as its driving me around the bend at the moment! :doh: All the best.
