Another burner problem
I have a Ricoh MP7040A cd-rw and it burns everything fine with the exception of audio tracks when I get "There has been a write error. Burn process failed".
This happens at whatever speed I burn (4X, 2X and 1X in my case). Any ideas? I'm using Nero v4.0 btw. |

Have you tried updating to the latest version of Nero (5.5.5.2...I think). Have you tried another brand of CDR's? Have you been able to burn audio before or has this just started happening?

Yes I've tried other brands of CDR.
Yes its worked in the past. Nero 4 is fine for what I want to do. I don't think I need to upgrade. After all its worked in the past. |

Are you burning from another cd or from the hard drive?

Try slowing down the process. Do you have a test and burn? I use Adaptec 4.05 Deluxe. After using the program a LOT, it seems to get Alzheimers. I've had to uninstall and reinstall it a couple of times.

I have it Determining Maximum Speed and Simulating the burn before writing at 1X what else can I do? Also tried uninstalling/installing a number of times.

A shot in the dark: is DMA enabled? Try disabling it on the cd writer and perhaps the hdd as well. Despite all the talk of enabling dma on todays cdrw's I've found some writers to be less than stable with it on. I had a couple 24x10x40 drives that would fail the write process at around 10-15% w/ DMA on; turned it off and no problem (just burns a bit slower, but faster than not at all....LOL). Good luck!

Since you have an older burner, you do not have modern buffer underrun protection. So you cannot do anything else on the computer while the burner is burning, if you even try web surfing you chance a buffer underrun.

Yep I always shut down all programs before burning and disable screensaver.
I just don't understand why I should need to disable DMA when it has worked fine in the past with it enabled. Its really annoying me why it just seems to have given up on audio CDs. |
