Burn Error

Everytime I attempt to burn a DVD I get the following plus another coaster:

'SFMMCX'-(17)
'atapi'-(1)
-'PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-104 1.32'-(0)
Module sfmmcx.cpp Line 1648
An illegal request was received.

Any ideas?

Join the club buddy. I can prepare but I can't burn. Everytime I try it freezes my entire computer and have to manually reboot. I use Ulead MovieFactory to burn my DVD without any problems of any kind. But would like to have this bug in DVD-A fixed so I can burn. Until then I will have to stick to using DVD-A to prepare and Ulead to burn. My computer ONLY freezes using DVD-A when trying to burn. Sofo will help fix this problem.

Asus A7N8X Deluxe (Currently best motherboard out there-Tom's Hardware)
AMD Athlon XP Barton 2500 with 512 L2 cache
512 OCZ 400 Mhz Ram CL2 Dual Channel
ATI All in Wonder Radeon
Sony DRU-500A
WD Cavier 160 GB (120 Raid 0-stripped)

We have both these drives in house and are able to burn successfully with them.

Do you have the most current firmware for your drive?

Yes, it is g for my Sony but it did the same thing when I had f. Has Sonic done testing on Athlon XP CPU's? Do you have an Asus A7N8X Deluxe motherboard on hand by chance to test it with. I have tried different RAM, different CPU I had the Athlon XP 2100 before now I have the Athlon Barton 2500 and a different motherboard I had the A7N8X Basic prior upgraded to the A7N8X Deluxe. Clearly with this many changes the problem must rest with the DVD-A. I've eliminated the most important variables and it does seem to be a problem with DVD-A. Please test in house using an Asus A7N8X motherboard. Thanks.

I've had the same problem, but fixed it by remembering to turn my antivirus software off! I use Norton Antivirus 2002 and can only assume that it was trying to filter the file being sent to the DVD writer. I've had no burn problems since I tried this fix, but I still don't know why DVDA would call for a virus scan???

What motherboard do you have? I could swear that I have tried turning mine off (Norton Anti-Virus 2003 Pro) but will try it again when I get home tonight. Did you have to do a manual re-boot when it freezes like I did? Mine completely freezes the timer freezes in DVD-A with the mouse the the hour glass showing, I can't alt-ctrl+del either, I have to manually restart.

Ah, it sounds like your problems are worse than mine were! My experience was that DVDA started to write the lead-in and then aborted, leaving me with an expensive coaster. The trick was to "disable auto-protect" in Norton.

Without looking I've got no idea what motherboard I have!! It's an Athlon 2.6 system running XP Home and the Pioneer 105 burner, if that helps...

Good luck.

It sounds like different problems but I'm pretty sure I've turned off Norton during a burn but will try again, since getting a new motherboard,CPU and memory. I don't have a problem of any kind burning my (prepared file using DVD-A) in Ulead MovieFactory. So why does one program freeze during the burning process and the other does not? Out of 10 times it will freeze, ten times using DVD-A. Thanks for your info though. P.S I've upgraded to all the latest drivers in my Sony and motherboard drivers AND my updated my bios as well to no avail.

Thank you to all who responded. Disabling Norton's "Auto Protect" did the trick for me. Here's how you do that:

o Double click on the Norton icon in the lower left corner of your screen
o Click on "Options" then "Norton Anti-virus"
o Uncheck "Auto-protect"

After doing this Norton's main screen will show that Auto Protect is "off"

I'm using an MSI 845PE Max motherboard with a 3 GHz P4.

Notes to Sofo:

o DVDA lives up to its name, but it would be nice if we could author and burn VCDs and SVCDs. Maybe v2?
o DVDit PE and DVD Worshop run on my system w/o turning off Norton Auto Protect...
o With DVDit PE I can embed an auto loading DVD player for use on PCs without one. Maybe v2?

Overall, I like this product and hope that future versions add the above functionality.

I have the same problem, with HP DVD 300I. But I don´t have Norton AV. I´m upgrading to 1.0b as we speak. Anyone knows if that fixed the problem?

Make sure you are not running Incd or a program like it that comes with most burners nowadays. I also disabled autoplay on the burner and between the two of them it's fine now. I'm running an athlon xp 2200 with an MSI KT3 ultra. Norton is still running during my successful burns it didn't seem to matter although that would have been next on the list to turn off. Oh yeah I have an TDK indie 4x dvd burner, great so far!

I had same problem with Architect - Are you by any chance using DVD-RW media at the time of getting the error??
I have read the posts here about Norton. I am not running Norton but had this problem. The same file burned ok in Ulead..
I did solve it though - it was to do with the DVD-RW disk itself - I burned instead to a DVD-R and Architect worked with no errors - give this a try.
I also found later that it MIGHT have been to do with Vegas wiping the DVD-RW disk before re-burning to it - it didn't eject the disk from the drive, clearing
the drives buffer - I seem to remember a setting for that in there somewhere...
Anyone else verify what I am saying here?
I think to be safe, Vegas should always eject the disk - or at least it should be set up this way by default on 4.0c!
