Quick summary of problem
Bought DVD burner Monday, fitted in p.c.
Burnt first film overnight, worked perfectly apart from sound a bit scratchty on things like load gun shots.(used showbiz)
Burnt second film again no problems whatsoever(used Nero)
Tried third film(Nero again) and it hung near the end of burn process.
Disc played in DVD player but just stopped about ten minutes from end of film.
Tried another one this time nothing on disc again.
Tried another same result, seemed to encode but no writing.
Returned drive to shop, they tested and replaced it with a new one.
Came home tried again , nothing.
Uninstalled showbiz ,in case of conflict with Nero, did system restore, ton point where i had written dvds. again nothing.
Tried one more last night, progress meter got about 1/2 inch from end(top one) then stopped bottom one was all way to end.Drive light was showing constant pink colour. and on removing disc found it had burnt 2/3 of disc ,but no lead in track in mddle and p.c. said disc was empty.
Sorry for the length of post, but ive tried to give as much info as possible.
