Re: dvd-r problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I guess that Roxio uses it's own ASPI layer to burn disks. This may cause
problems with other programs, so I prefer not to use such programs. Nero and
Plextools relay on the built-in Windows interface for burning disks which is
better. They will also work with a 3rd party ASPI layer.

Here is a list of programs that install ASPI layer:
iTunes, Pinnacle, InterVideo, Sonic Solutions - MyDVD.
I think Roxio too.
