I just bought a new dvd burner and it came with nero oem suite.
I started to burn some old files to a blank dvd and when I played them back I noticed that It didn't record a couple of seconds off some the ends of the files. It just skipped to the next title. I figured that it must be something wrong with some of the nero express3 settings and not the liteon dvd burner I bought. Dvd burning is new to me.

Were you trying to burn a DVD Audio disk?

Your post is confusing because what you described doesn't make any sense. If you give Nero an audio file and it burns a portion of it to the disk it will burn the whole thing, there is no reason that I know of that it would cut off something once it has started.

The 2 possible answers I can think of are you gave it incomplete files to begin with, or whatever you are playing the disk back with can't handle it.

The files I am trying to burn are video files like mpeg and avi. The files are whole when I use the nero vision express and there is nothing wrong with The dvd player I am using for a play back . After I play back my newly made dvd I just notice at the end of every file (chapter) the scenes are short a couple of seconds and the dvd skips to the next title. I thought that maybe when I was experimenting with how to edit a dvd and create dvd chapters I might have messed with a setting or something.

yes... you have screwed the configurations of the NERO. try restoring the default configuration.
.
try DVD overburning option, this will allow you to burn more minutes onto the DVD i.e on single-layer, instead of a limit of 4483, you can burn upto 4500.
but DVD overburning is not preferred n this isnt ur problem in the first place.

Still may be the dvd player, try it in a computer and see if it still happens. Home DVD players often don't handle burned dvds perfectly, they are also sometimes picky about the brand of disk and +R vs -R.

If you're trying to convert these files to DVD-Video, sometimes the in/out points can be inaccurate depending on the type of file, what is was recorded on, and how it was edited.

I like to thank everyone for their tips and advice!

please help nero keeps crashing every single time i try to add files. ive used this programme b4 and had no problems but for some reason no matter what i try i cant resolve this problem. all i am trying to do is burn 2 avi files using nero express that have been converted using winavi. i am able to burn 1 movie using nero burning rom but whenever i try nero express to burn 2 file that have been converted together it crashes as soon as i press the add files button. ive also tried the dragging an dropping method but no success. please help as i hate wasting over half my disk space when burning. any help would be great

oh and ive also tried un\reinstalling and the nero clean tool....any ideas
