I'm not sure if I'm having the exact same problem as the OP, but it's similiar. I had TONS of problems trying to burn(using Nero + ImgBurn)) with my SONY DRU-710 DVD+/-R, RW, DL drive until finally today I decided I was going to update the firmware so I did. Then I was having trouble uninstalling the drive because all of the failures had locked me out of DMA so finally I fixed that. I tried to burn my first DVD using VIDEO_TS files and it worked on the very first try with ImgBurn and Memorex DVD-R at Auto detect speeds. Then I tried to burn the same files for another copy and I get this error message every subsequent time I try to burn anything. I've gone through about 5 DVD's so far and I don't want to throw away anymore money. Here is a screen cap:
It seems it happens every time during the Synchronising Cache Phase but seems to burn 100% and finish the file-but if I hit retry or cancel, it doesn't work in my Xbox360 like the first and only successful burn of the same file.
System Specs:
Windows XP/SP2
