Nero "unable to insert" ... help please

When I first install Nero .. everything works great. Then I try to burn a second DVD and keep getting messages from then on, no matter what I try to load "unable to insert".
Has anyone had this problem and if so, what can be done. In the past I have to uninstall Nero and then reinstall and I am able to burn one more DVD. This is getting to be a pain in the butt.

I have tried several other burners, but I keep coming back to Nero. I just like it better.

Thanks to anyone that can help.

 

It sounds alot like Nero defaulted to a multisession state when you burned the first disk and it thinks when you go to burn the second disk you want to add to the first multisession disk instead of burning a new one. This is one of the things I hate about nero, the multisession crap is old school and hardly used anymore, yet they keep it around and sometimes load it as default, What a crock.

You have to make sure when you burn your first disk to go through all the tabs and check the settings so that you don't accidentally burn a multisession disk and always choose to close or finalize the disk after burning. If you follow these simple rules you should have no problems.

Multisession was used basically by people burning music, and wanted to add music to the same cd-r disk a little at a time until it was full. But there are so many foibles to using it, I don't know anyone who uses it anymore. This was before there were RW disks that you can do the same thing with now, and once the rewritable is full you copy it to a permenant disk and erase the RW so multisession should be dead but nero refuses to let it die.

 

Wow .. what an answer ... I'm not sure if I understand all that, but it sure sounds impressive

Now that you have said all that .. is there a way to stop the error message. I don't know what the multisession is, but hopefully you can explain more to me.

I usually don't get those error messages for several months after using it .. and then it starts appearing and I can't burn any more. If I uninstall and re-install, then I can use Nero for a couple more months. This time I upgraded and as soon as I burned one, then tried to burn another movie I got the error message.

Thank you for responding. Any help is very much appreciated.:wave

 

I did some searching for you and found this:

It seems the easiest way out of the problem was to load a codec pack after uninstalling all the codecs on your machine from the add/remove programs section. I am not one for codec packs as a matter of fact I will not use them myself, but if it works who am I to say don't use it. Although one guy (3rd from the bottom when I was there) used Nero uninstall tools to completely remove Nero then reinstalled. For codecs what I use is GSpot Codec Appliance to view the files (once installed right click an avi or any video and select "open with" GSpot) and determine what codecs I need, that way I don't have to install codec packs which have a tendency to great more problems than they solve.

Here is a lionk to the pack they claim solves the problem for some:

For the most part the only codecs I install are Divx and Xvid (Koepi's XviD)
Good luck

 

Thank you ... I will give it a try.
