Yet another weird problem...

[EternalXos]

The program says that everything completed successfully, including the burn process, but my disk is still blank. I wasn't using the Image Recorder, either. Any thoughts?

[Duracell]

Is it really blank or is it only reported as blank? How does it look with your own eyes?
if you can see burning traces at the media, then it is a media incompatibility problem; try a search in our forum for recommended brands;

The computer was seeing it as blank. I actually popped it into my DVD player and it began playing but it seemed to have only burned about two minutes of it! The subtitles worked, at least.

Here's the TFM_DVD_Burn.log. I just noticed that it says :
Last address to be written: 10559 ( 2:20.59, 20MB)

Here's the whole thing. My TFM.log has since been changed... I'm trying to create an image and then I'll burn it manually through Nero myself.

[VIPER_1069]

this seems like a media problem to me what media is it you are using !?

[EternalXos]

The brand is called Dynex.

[Duracell]

as Viper says: media problem;

in generally Ritek media are recommended, try a search in our forum;
and check TDK's homepage for media recommendation too; also look for a firmware upgrade there;

[EternalXos]

It seems that they released a firmware upgrade not too long ago. I updated it and I'll give it another try now.

[scarecrow]

No, it's not a media problem. Nero needs upgrading.
