DVD / CD Writer - won't write!!

I have been trying to write an dcopy various CD's & DVD's.

I have tried using Nero & Record Now.

Everything goes fine for about 50% then the disk ejects saying I will have to retry (using a new disk), all the disks I am using are brand new!!

Any suggestions what causing the problems??

Many THANKS

We will require the following information

What windows and what service pack?
What dvd writer?
What media make/model
What version of nero and record now
Are you using packet writing?

Are you attempting to copy copyprotected media? Are you aware that most shop bought dvds are 9 gb but the standard dvd-r is only 4.7gb?

It's not copyprotected media - even if i try to drop 10 songs onto a CD it won't work

Have you been to nero to do the updates for 6?
Are your chipset drivers up to date

And the answers to the rest of the questions?

Also, you could try other burning software. A couple of possibilities for programs that you could get at least trial versions for free (legally) are Deepburner, CDBurnerXP, or Cheetah Burner. They can be found respectively at:
