'Invalid Command' error with Nero and Sony DRU-500A

For some reason, whenever I burn a DVD+R disc with Nero on my sony drive, the burning process will progress to 100%, and then I'll get an error window that says 'Invalid Command.' This doesn't happen with DVD+RWs (I haven't checked -Rs yet), and I can burn DVD+Rs using a different writing program. I'd appreciate anyones ideas.

I'm using version 5.5.9.17 demo and the 'd' firmware.

Thanks for the help

We have had other reports on this issue, and our Engineers in Germany are looking into this issue.

I have only recently obtained this drive in my labs here in the U.S, and I too run into this issue, so it has been confirmed.

Hi Dogdivine,

Sounds like you have an OEM bundle for the LG drives. This would limit you to working with only LG drives.

You can test this by going to Nero's, Recorder | Choose Recorder and if your Sony drive is listed, but with a red Circle and a line through it, then this is the case. Or you can go to the Neros Help>About and see if it reports as Nero 5.5.x Bundled.

If there is no Read Circle, or the drive simply is not seen, then you have an old version of Nero and you need to upgrade to our latest Nero 5.5.9.17 to support the new recorder.

Regards,

Craig
