i need help- oh good afternoon peers- i'm having problems burning music and i believe it started after downloading recent updates from ms update... i have winxp media center edition on a year old hp pavillion--my fairly new burner is a pioneer dvd-rw dvr-112d and the burning software which came with pc is sonic my dvd plus-the software bundled with the pioneer is nero essentials se 7 with nero vision 4---i've tried burning with both and even dl some trial software all to no avail--i have no problem burning movies with sonic / not so with nero who wants me to pay 4 the upgrade--which makes sense ---i'm just coming back from a crash and i had downloaded an antispy app but i cant remember the name of it right now--lastly i've cleaned the drives, used both adaware and spybot with no results---hope this isn't too much info

Well im not an expert as i dont have any of the software you do, so i had to do a little digging and the hunch i had seems to be correct:



The media usage rights info is as follows.



That looks to be the most likely cause of your issues, perhaps someone else can wade in with a solution????[/quote]

Thannx for the 411 Nobby but the problem may be deeper than licensing-the aforementioned burn engines are ejecting the disc at the beginning of the burn, around song #2, displaying messages like disc error or illegal something or other, it's so trifling i've lost around 9 discs so far and this is music i've downloaded through winmx, not purchased. This is very recent. It began with my attempts to make a gospel compilation after coming back from a crash in which HP sent me a new hard drive, recovery disc and a tech house call. By the way, i've burnt about 20+ discs of 6-7 different artists since i've gone back online. I've been a winmx user since napster went commercial. i have never bought music online ---strawberries-daddies etc. but never online and the dialog box, when i right click a tune says the song is not protected. something else is up..i've heard about the conflict between nero and sonic but even after deleting nero i still cannot burn the cd's movies yes songs no help!!! me please somebody tell me what to do

I hope someone else can give you an answer, perhaps you could post the error messages? Or have you tried googling the errors?

THANKS NOBBY FOR YOUR HELP
I GOOGLED AND FOUND OVER 50 COMPLAINTS/ENTRIES ABOUT THAT AND OTHER SIMILAR SONICE DVDSOFTWARE VERSIONS AND DECIDED TO CHUCK IT COMPLETELY OFF MY PC. I BOUGHT 1 CLICK DVD MOVIE AND I'M LOOKING FOR A FREE DECENT DVD COPY APP,IF ANYONE KNOWS OF 1 PLEASE CLUE ME. I'M ALSO CHECKING AROUND 4 A GOOD FREE OR INEXPENSIVE CD BURN/RIP SOFTWARE APP..I'M PROBABLY THROUGH WITH NERO ALSO. AFTER VERSION 6, THEY ALL SEEM TO B INTRUSIVE, WASTE PRECIOUS MEDIA AND ARE JUST MONEY HUNGRY. 7 ESSSENTIALS CAME WITH MY NEW PIONEER BURNER AND WONT LET ME COPY DVD'S OR BURN CD'S THEY SHOULD'VE JUST STAYED OUT OF THE PURCHASE...ANYWAY THANX AGAIN

Hey half there are numerous reported problems as you say , the burning software i'd recomend personally would be Alcohol 120%. .


Or a version of nero ..
The version of nero could be responsible as i found this :

The Nero 6 "Reloaded" Edition is currently at version 6.6.x.x but the standard version of Nero 6 is only 6.3.125. So it could be something as simple as updating the program you are usings database of drives .. as an afterthought.

If you cannot take the drive back and have no luck with the software i suggested then i'd opt for flashing the firmware of the drive to see if that helps as a last resort theres loads of info on google about the process.

You have all the bundled software that came with the drive remove it and try the FREE trial of Alcohol 120% found here
