Hi,

I have a a AOpen DUW1608/ARR DVD burner thats giving me some problems.
Whenever I try burning to a DVD it rejects the blank DVD and ask for a
blank DVD.

I've tried inputting DVD-R (8x and 16x) blanks and the same thing. I have
Nero 6, XP Pro, intel 4 3.0 GHz, 1 GB RAM.

Any advice on where to start? Hardware or software?

When I put in a DVD-R, windows explorer displays the drive as a CD drive,
and as soon as i take out the DVD-R, it turns back to a DVD-RW

Nero 6.6.0.13
Win XP Pro SP2 (pretty sure its 32-bit)

I am seeing one common factor in everyone's complaint about the AOpen DUW1608/ARR................NERO.

After some troubleshooting (i.e., switching drive from slave to master and vice versa, using different blank DVD's, downloading every software update and driver update, blah, blah, blah), I came to realize that NERO apparently does not like this model over time.

My actual problem came after I upgraded from Nero 6 to Nero 7 Ultra.

My solution: Use a different CD/DVD Burning Software.

My solution was rather complicated, though it worked. I used Nero to create the DVD structure and saved it using image recorder and saving the image on my hard drive. After that, I used Alcohol %120 to then burn the image to disk.

I tested on my DVD player and it played just fine.

I know that my method was a bit complicated, but unless someone else can suggest something that actually works, that's going to be my procedure for the time being.

In other words, use my method, buy new CD/DVD Burning Software or buy a new DVD Burner.............that is unless AOpen or Nero can get together and fix this glitch.

Just do a search, and you can download a trial version of Alcohol %120.

Hopefully, this helps those with a similiar problem with their AOpen Burner.
