I have a project in Nero that I've been trying to burn onto a Dual
Layer DVD+R disc. So far unfortunately without success (4 new beer
mats!).

I have encoded the project and I am just burning the Video_TS and
Audio_TS using the burning Rom.

So far though upon playback I always seem to have one or two titles
that have errors. It might say unexpected DVD error, unable to read
part of dvd playback might be effected etc and then it stops the video
playing. Have tested on my computers DVD drive as well as regular DVD
player so have ruled out hardware being the problem.

Dear Great People of Earth - wherever you may be..

This is short note of desperation to ask for your help.

I'm becoming homeless unless I can raise about $900 in the next few days -
capitalism barely slows down for Christmas.

Believing that there are many people out there who when given the chance to
help someone in a small way, would do so - I'm putting this out there...

If .. anyone out there could see it in there heart to pay $1 into my pay pal
account, I know I will get more than enough from the everyone's generosity.

I only ask for $1, and additionally, I will mail $2 cash back to anyone that
donates and leaves their mail address, sometime in the next 6 mos.

If you were planning to donate to any charity absolutely do not let me stop
you. If you are sending money anywhere these days to try help reduce hunger
or violence or diseases don't stop - someone else will send me $1. In other
words, I'm not a starving child, a battered woman or an abused victim of any
kind and I wouldn't want anyone to send me anything INSTEAD of sending it to
any other organization.

But Please know This is a real request - not any kind of scam or any kind of
anything other than a last resort to try and tap some of the goodness which
I've added to the world, but now find myself in need of.

Can anyone recommend any alternatives to Nero?

At the moment I have the Nero 6 reloaded suite, which includes Nero
Burning Rom, Nero Vision Express etc.

Unfortunately I've had a couple of problems with Nero 6, one of my
files that I saved for a project wont open any more so I've lost a
load of saved work and not best impressed with Nero. Tried
uninstalling and reinstalling numerous to the latest version of Nero 6
but file still wont open.

I heard a lot of bad things about Nero 7 being buggy so never upgraded
to that one. Was considering going with Nero 8 the newest version just
out now, but if I did that there is no guarantee this project I saved
in Nero 6 is going to work in Nero 8 after I've splashed out a load of
money on it.

Speaking of which, when I have been to the Nero site in the last month
or so and chosen the upgrade option I have a huge complaint against
Nero for discriminating and ripping off British consumers.

{When I go to the Nero site and check the link to upgrade to Nero 8
and I enter my serial number it says that I am a loyal customer and
get it for a discount at €47.99 instead of €59.99.
