I spent the weekend trying to archive about 15 folders of mp3's (each folder being a different audiobook) onto a dvd+r, and wasted 3 discs because the same 7 folders kept faling to burn. I wouldn't get an error in nero, but when I checked the disc afterwards the 7 folders were empty and the entire size of the data on the disc was around 2 gigs instead of the over 4 gigs it should have been.
I tried creating an image file of the 15 folders and burning that to a rewritable dvd, but had the same result - even though the image.iso file was the full size.
I tried writing some of the folders that were coming out empty onto cd-r and it worked fine.
Finally I decided to create the folders in Nero and drag the contents of the corresponding folders in, instead of dragging the folders from explorer. This seems to have worked, although it took about 50 minutes to burn instead of around the 15 which it should have taken at 4x. Tonight I'm going to try to create an image of the full disc and burn it to another dvd-rw, but would like to know what the possible cause of this could be. I can transfer the (corrupted?) folders from one hard drive to another, onto cd-r, and play them in winamp, so why wouldn't they burn like normal to dvd?
