    Sector Errors while burning with both Imgburn and with Nero 7

    Hello up until a couple of weeks ago I had no problems burning dvd's, but I got a nasty virus and my computer had to be completely wiped and everything reinstalled. I did all of this and made sure all of my drivers and firmware were updated to the newest versions.

    Up until that time I had only used Nero 7 to burn dvds. But after everthing was reinstalled Nero would fail during verification. So I thought maybe the problem was nero. So I downloaded Imgburn. Still one or two sectors out of every large vob is failing. Just one or two. A total of usually 4-6 errors completely per disc. The dvd's still play in my standalone without a hitch but I notice every so often thier will be a slight pixilation or missing pixels in a frame.

    My dma is set correctly
    My firmware is updated
    The only thing I noticed that might be amiss is that I'm using a mid line media, Memorex brand (I live out in the boondocks and my choices are limited, Memorex, Sony or Imation. And neither Sony or Imation work correctly in my standalone) I have been using Memorex for close to a year now without any problems whatsoever. My only other choice is to order online, which I haven't tried yet but am considering.
    Burn setting at 4x
    I decrypted using DVD Shrink without any errors.

    Here is my device info from Imgburn.

    Normally I would search the forums to try to figure out the problems I have myself but this time around I just can't figure it out. Do I have something set wrong? Or is it the media I'm using? Or something I havn't thought of yet. I would appreciate any help you might be able to provide.

    test at 8X burn speed

    try some better blanks, if you still have a problem then I would suspect power supply issues, a bad flash(if the problem started after upgrading firmware) or the burner is dying?

      Thanks for the suggestions Chewy but it seems I may have found my problem. I've been having problems with my antivirus program lately so I tried burning while it was disabled and it worked perfectly. Then I replaced it with a different program and the problem has gone away. There must have been a software conflict going on. It's the last thing I would have thought of, but go figure....
