I have been using Nero 7 and all my burns kept failing around the last 3-4 songs. So I thought it was Nero so I am using Roxio 9 now and same problem. It just stopped progress at song 14/19.
I am using a Lite-On burner, it reads CDs/Dvds fine. I have 2GB 800mhz RAM OC'd , Dual Core 2.8Ghz processor. Any ideads or should I buy another DVD/CD burner. I hear lite-on's have nothing but problems...

I tested my RAM at every level with MEMTEST and let it run for hours. and gradually rose the levels until it reached the Timings the RAM was meant to be used. I build computers, my last LITEON did the same thing in my old Computer but I bought this new one becuase it was given an award and had great ratings. But now it is doing the same thing. Could very well be my CD's. I will buy some better quality ones and see how that goes.

The only reason you hear that lite-ons have nothing but problems are from the people who don't know what they are doing.
Lite-on makes the best drives for the money, hands down.
Sure, you occasionally get a bad one just like any other manufacturer, but you are paying a third of the price usually.
Now you said that your ram is overclocked....
Have you run any kind of stability testing on your overclocked settings? I don't mean just turning the computer on and it booting into windows. I mean running Sisoft Sandra or some other burn-in program.
Overclocking can cause a lot of errors that only come about during certain operations, which in your case is the disk not burning properly.
Especially when you are using a motherboard that does not have a lock on the FSB. If you overclock the FSB on a motherboard that does not lock the frequencies of things like your PCI bus and your IDE/SATA controllers they will have errors.
That would most likely be the issue, the fact that your IDE Bus is running at a higher frequency than it is supposed to causing instability.
I would bring it back down to stock levels for your clock speed and bus speed. Then see if the burn completes.

Could be Lite-On. I am having issues with mine rght now as well. Although it is over a year old. My problem just started that it doesn't want to recognize certain DVD's in the drive but burns ok so far.
Maybe mine is just old and wore out? What doesn't make sense though with your problem is it starts burning then fails almost at the finish. Maybe try burning with just the 14 songs on it. Could be also the brand of disc you are using as well. I have bought 30 recordable disc and the last 15 of the stack not burn right at all. So I switched to a different brand and it had burned good then. Different manufacturers disc will burn differently in each burner or possible you just got some bad disc? Try some different brands to see if it makes a difference.

If all discs you burn fail at sasme point (approx) I'd say buy a new DVDRW, but there is (generally) nothing wrong with Liteon, more reviews are good, and I have seen relatively few people with problems with them.
U don't say what media you are using, what speed you burn, or what capacity discs compared to the filesizes you want to burn are, nor do you mention the failure message.
IT COULD be simply that there is not enough space on the disc ? Depends how long the songs are .

My only comment is that I experienced something similar which had me perplexed. I was burning a CD and it would stop on the 8th track of a 9 track disk. It did this everytime. I tried it on another computer and it did the same things.... so, I'm scratching a hole in my head.... but then I realized that I was burning my own music which I mix as 32 bit .wav files and they have to be down-mixed to 16 bit to burn - so that was the problem. I only mention this JUST in case you are encountering the exact same problem.
Hope you work it out.

If you are burning mp3s try putting less on one cd. I was trying to put as many as would fit and mine was doing that too. I cut it back to around 100 and they burned ok. Also one of the last few songs may have errors in them
