Hi,

I am trying to author my 10 minute short which is for a competition which closes on friday. When i try to author the project in DVDA it renders ok but when it gets to the burn stage i get the following error...

'SFMMCX'-(17)
'atapi'-(1)
-'_NEC DVD_RW ND-3500AG 2.16'-(0)
Module sfmmcx.cpp Line 400
An illegal request was received.
The disc can't be written. It is an incompatible format.
Status: 00020202
Command: 53 00 00 00 00 00 02 ed 1f 00 00 00
Sense: 05 30 05
Info: 00 00 00 00
Specific: 00 00 00
Extra: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

I am using some Maxell DVD-R discs and the only thing i can think of is that they are corrupt as ive had them for some time.

Does anyone know what this error means?......i need to get my submission in pronto

Thanks in advance

Hmmm - I got some well cheap dvd-rs of ebay - about 30% wont write and I get a similar (not same) report. I suggest trying some other discs.
