Burn error with DVDA2

I just bought a 50 pack of AZO 8x DVD-R media and I am burning 28 or so copies for a customer. When I try to burn the project with DVDA2 it gives me this error:

'SFMMCX'-(17)
'atapi'-(1)
-'SONY DVD RW DRU-700A VY05'-(1)
Module sfmmcx.cpp Line 1639
A medium error occurred.
A write error occurred. Make sure your media is approved for this drive.

Status: 00020202
Command: 2a 00 00 03 02 a0 00 00 20 00

Specific: 00 00 00
Extra: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

Thanks

Are you using 2.0 or 2.0a.

People with your drive had trouble burning DVD-R media in version 2.0, but 2.0a apparently fixed the issue.

If 2.0a doesn't fix it, try burning with Nero. You can find instructions on how to use Nero 5.5 to burn DVDA-created DVDs here:

Thanks for the tip, I have Nero 6 but never thought of burning my DVD's with it.

Thanks much.

Unfortunately the issue has not been addressed to everybody's satisfaction: I still cannot burn DVD's using version 2.0a with a matshita uj-811. Maybe one day...

I have also unsuccessfully tried to burn the the demo on the web ... With Sony's downloadable test file, I get an error 'SFMMCX' -(17) 'atapi' -(1) - 'TDK DVDRW0404N 1.0A' (0) and the burn aborts.

There appears to be a (old) forum thread on this subject with no real solution??? Please see ...
http://mediasoftware.sonypictures.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?MessageID=159802&Page=6&ms=1 ... It appears the problem is back ...

I continued to try other options with the Sony download sample file ... all with the same result. The burn hangs at 8% complete and then times out at the end of the burn.

1) Checked that I had the latest firmware in the DVD drive ... I also checked that I had the latest IDE drivers
2) I retried the DVD-RW burn - the disk erased but hung at 8% on burn - I aborted the burn
3) I tried a simulation to a DVD-R - the burn hung at 8% and then timed out with the same error.

Additional information ... take 2 ...

I found some similar problems on the web ...

I have a NEC DVD_RW Nd-1300a 1.06 ... when I press "burn dvd" ... 'SFMMCX' -(17) 'atapi' -(1) _NEC DVD_RW Nd-1300a 1.06' -(1)

and ...

'SFMMCX' -(17) 'atapi' -(1) PIONEER DVD-RW DVD-104 1.40'-(1)

There were other similar problems ...

No solutions though ...

Additional information ... take 3 ...

I just thought that I would add that ROXIO Easy CD/DVD Creator, Cyberlink PowerProducer 3, ULead DVD Movie Factory and Roxio Instant CD+DVD all write to the DVD drive without a problem.

Is there a patch or something to correct the problem???

Thanks
