All, I am looking for a solution, if anyone has one ...
I see numerous of you have had the "dreaded" 'SFMMCX' problem. Should I expect a fix from Sony, or just give up and buy some other software? It's unfortunate that software this good at authoring, has this sort of problem due to poor programming and/or testing. I own around $10K worth of Sony gear, and I still can't get a fix for the software :-(
My story ...
I have 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 ...

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 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
