Burning Error

Hi,
I Just installed a Sony DRU-710A DVD drive and am trying to burn from DVDA. Each time the operation will get to 98% and then I get an error saying "The current operation has timed out", the details are,

SFMMCX-[17]
atapi-[1]
sonydvd rw dru 710a byo3
module mmc.cpp line 1261

I have tried several brands of media, ( including Sony) all DVD+R.,
I have reinstalled the software,
I have run a diagnostic test on the drive which I downloaded from the Sony site ( it passed 100%),
I have downloaded the patch for DVDA,
I have e-mailed Sony tech support with my problem and have not received a response.

Please Help

DVDA is known to have issues with various burners. Download a trial copy of CopyToDVD from www.vso-software.fr and see if it will burn the project that was prepared by DVDA. If CopyToDVD works, then you have an inexpensive alternative.

I have the exact same problem. It's a little odd to me that a Sony burner will not work with Sony burning software. If you find a resolution please let me k
now

Totally different companies both with the same name of Sony. Try what I suggested.

I had the exact same problem too. I have a sony DRU-710a burner and just got Vegas Movie Studio. My burns always die at 99%!!! So far, technical support has been unresponsive. Please let me know if there is a fix to this!
