I\'m using Pioneer 106D with Nero 6(came with Pioneer) to burn DVD-R,
but after 10 minutes, the erro message came,
\"communication failure\"
\"burn process failed at 4x\", sometime at 2x.
can anyone help me, I made so many coaster already.

thanks.

what other program I can use?
I\'ve DVD X Copy, but I don\'t want their name on my disc,
I use DVD Shrink3.1 to compress, and it works fine, the erro only happen when burning.

I\'d try CopytoDVD, sometime I got error said can not finalize,
what does that mean?

I use RiDATA disc

I\'m still getting error message:
\"write sector failed at 409680(16)- code 040801\"
\"HW error, communication timeout\"
what does that mean?

That is an atapi error that is because of not comunicating with the burner in a timely manner. There are many things that could be the problem here. The most common is not having a good aspi layer. You also might want to check that All hard drives are placed on the Primary IDE, check that the drives are correctly set as master/slave. cd-rom cd-r/rw and dvd-r/rw drives are placed on the Secondary IDE, set the recording drive as the \"master\". If you are using a USB or IEEE devices, disconnect them as a test to see what is causing it.

Also Right click on [My Computer] and select [Properties] from the menu. Click [Device Manager] on the [Hardware] tab, then click to open the [IDE ATA/ATAPI (hard disk) controllers] section. You will find: the Primary IDE Channel controller, Secondary IDE Channel controller, and a brand name controller, e.g. Intel, SIS, VIA, etc. The brand name controller is what may need to be updated. Will have to do this from the respective companys site.

Or it could be dma settings as well. Right click on [My Computer] and select [Properties] from the menu. Click [Device Manager] on the [Hardware] tab, then click to open the [IDE ATA/ATAPI (hard disk) controllers] section. You will find: the Primary IDE Channel controller, Secondary IDE Channel controller. Complete the following procedure:  
 Right click on the Primary IDE controller and select [Properties] from the menu.
Select the [Advanced Settings] tab. Check that the [Transfer Mode] for both devices is set to [DMA if available].
Repeat this for Secondary IDE controller.

AFAIK, RiDATA IS Ritek.
