Question about NEC 16X Multiple Format DVD+/-R/RW/DL Burner - Silver DVD Drive

DVD Issue after newinstallation - Receiving error relating to decreasing color resolution

I installed a NEC 16x DVD+R/RW Double lAyer for a friend. I installed the new DVD player in the expansion drive and installed the software. When I try to play a DVD using Windows Real Player, I keep getting an error messgae to decrease the color resolution or the number of colors and there is no picture. I reduced the color resolution and bits thru Windows XP, but I still keep getting that error message. The resolution and number of bits are as low as it can go. I even try a few different DVDs. Any suggestions? Thanks, John

Nec dvd rw nd 3500ag will not allow me to record on a 16x Memorex DVD-R disc.

There are DVD+R discs and DVD-R discs. It looks as though your burner will only write to the "+R" discs. I believe that is your problem. Try the +R discs which can be purchased individually or in 3 packs just to be sure. Good Luck.

Pc died

Hello, I have had similar problems with that same motherboard in the past and have found that resetting the cmos (see users manual) or just taking the battery of the motherboard for a few minutes can solve this. CAUTION please remove the power lead on your tower before touching any components inside, and earth yourself first by touching metal.. as static discharge kills pc components..
Hope this helps.....

NEC-3520A Suddenly stop to burn correctly, but reads OK

Have you tried lowering the burn/erase speed? To begin, simply do what you need to do on the lowest speed, and then keep increasing until it gives the error again. This will most likely work. I had this problem and I burn now CDs at 16x.
