Pioneer A06 and Nero, copying DVD won't work +

I recently added a Pioneer A06 burned to my editing/compression/web machine at home. I already had a CD burner in there, with the Nero burning software.
Now it seems the Nero has teamed with Ulead. Here's the problem. My workflow goes from Avid editing exported to Quicktime reference. I then do the MPEG 2 compression in Cleaner XL, then import the compressed files into Nero, add all of the DVD compliance stuff and burn it... No problem...
I recently had a buddy at my house , and he wanted a DVD copy of the Fin-Test video I did for rodale's Scubadiving magazine. Cool, I can just make a copy. Well it seems that the two Nero softares have intertwined themselves. The first ritual I went through the software copied the data to the hard drive and tried to send it to the default drive which was my CD-burner... No way to change default. The second attempt told me I could only use the bundled software with the drive it was sent out with. The 3rd and closest asked to to pick a target drive, and a burning device. It chugged along, and asked me to pick disc image or something else I picked disc image, thinking it was logical. An hour later my disc spit out, and I could tell by looking at it that it had burned. My new plays-everything DVD player in the living room spit it up saying unuseable format...
Can someon clue me in if they've been successful with this?
Why won't it just work like a CD burner and quit being difficult..
Thanks

I hate to ask you this.....But
1) Nero? Which version and build ?
2) OS...Win etc..
3) Firmware of your A06 burner
4) Media being used.

The software was supplied with the A06: Video Studio 7SE DVD, DVD movie factory 2SE
Version 1.1 for AO6

According to the propertie4s in Device manager: DVR-106D Roxio 5.3.2.31
(Don't know if this is the firm ware, but you'll have to tell me how to get that if not
Win XP, P4 1.5 512mb ram
DVD-r verbatim
If there's something i need to do to get the firm ware please advise...

Also, I have a JustLink 32X CDr that came with the Nero burning software...
I've been told to uninstall, as its not necessary, but that scares the SH*t out of me...
all Iwant to do is put in a DVD and make a copy. I've got the burning stuff down when exporting from my Avid thru cleaner Etc..
Thank for taking time
!
