I upgraded to Windows Vista and my *very* old version of Nero was incompatible, so I bought Nero 8 Ultra Edition (version 8.1.1.1) and since I've started using it, the performance for burning video dvds is sketchy at best. I started out with Memorex, but have also tried TDK. Sometimes it will burn 1 dvd but won't do anymore. I've had to have thrown out at least 15 ruined dvds. What can I do? Log below:
