Nero PMA Update Failure

[Craigy37]

Hello All

I seem to be having a bit of a problem with Nero when trying to burn files to a DVD i have backed all my other collection and have been doing so for 2 and a half years with no problems but nero keeps coming up with this error PMA update failure

I have just tried downloading the new version and it worked for a few but then it comes back with the same error. I am using Datasafe disks and have been for 2 years i burn at 4x all the time.

Here is the log of what it came up with

might want to get rid of incd and/or try another media.

[Craigy37]

I had already got rid of incd after reading another post on here. I don't know what i am doing wrong it seems weird as it was working fine yesterday then all of a sudden it went wrong, Pc's are very frustrating.

What sort of other software would you recommend as i have only ever used nero since i started

Thanks for all the help

[Craigy37]

I am going to order some better disks i am going to get taiyo yuden disks as they seem to be the best svp are selling them for £29.99 for 100

[Chewy]

some players don't like -R media

[LT. Columbo]

could check here to find suitable media on the player craigy37

[Craigy37]

some players don't like -R media

I know and this why i am confused as it works fne with the same datasafe -R i did the other day and it plays all my other 100 or so films that i have backed up. It is just this one My mate out one of the disks in his pc and it just froze on him until he ejected the disk. But it plays fine on my playstation 2.

Perhaps i am just going mad

Thanks but i don't know what make it is all i know it's a GSA-4120b whatever that is.

I get my old pc back from repair next week and that has my trusted pioneer109 in it.

I don't really know what else to do i will let you know if the change in media works with the taiao yuden disks.

I hope i don't waste too many

[Craigy37]

UPDATE

I got my delivery of the taiyo yuden disks yesterday and i did one backup and all now works fine. So thanks for all the help
