My Nero "Invalid Block Address"

[wreckidigidy]

Hi everyone, in dire need of advice Just recently acquired my LG internal 16X Super Multi DVD/CD Rewriter; burning CD-R was ok but the problem lies in burning DVD-R, I tried burning a TDK DVD-R 4.7, using Nero (version 6.6.0.9) into a DVD-Video disc Everything was fine till around 2%, the writer was flashing but the burning process could not go on till it gave the error message: "Invalid Block Address" and failed... Below is my error log:

[Elrin]

and I can't d/l the firmware update from the LGservice site... HELP!

[Mr_Fixer]

@Elrin I get all my firmware updates from HERE. Sometimes site has a lag, give it a minute to load page.

I also have the same issue with the same burner. I bought an LG GSA-4167B and get the same error when trying to burn Imation Printable 8x DVD-R. These are identified as CMC MAG.AE1. It stops at about 2% and gives the "invalid block address" error. I suspect it does not even start to burn any data on the DVD before it fails. it happens when trying to burn at 8x as well as 4x. log as follows:

[just sum chick]

I use Taiyo Yuden, and have been for quite some time...I would say at least 3 pindles. Then I am burning all morning yesterday and then halfway through the afternoon, i get the Invalid block address error message. How can that have anything to do with the media if I used the media a million and 1 times and never had a problem. I don't know anything about burning equipment or progrmas,...so please help me out.
