What CD/DVD software is likely to work for burning 4GB data |

What CD/DVD software is likely to work for burning 4 GB data files to DVD?
I have a new HP Pavilion PC with a single layer 8X DVD burner. The
software that came with the PC is RecordNow 7.1, which successfully
burns small files at 8X, but when burning a single 4.0 GB file, the
verify option shows an error half way through. Attempting to copy the
file back to the hard drive also produces an error at the same point.
Running "FSUM.exe" also aborts and shows the file size as only 2 GB.
I use Memorex 8x 4.7GB 120 min DVD+R. I've checked HP’s web site for
firmware updates to the DVD burner; there are none. The burner shows up
in software as a NEC ND-2100AD. It burns DVD movies with no problem.
The basic problem is burning 4.0 GB files.
I tried using Nero, but keep getting the Power Calibration Error before
any data is written to disk. I tried turning off XP’s CD IMAPI
services, as suggested. No joy.
After ruining about 8 disks in a row, I tried CopyToDVD, and lo and
behold, it WORKED! Unfortunately, there is no verify option in
CopyToDVD, so I had to use FSUM.exe to verify the 4 GB file was
identical to the source file.
My issue now is that if I want to verify a burned DVD that has many
files, using FSUM.exe instead of a verify option in the burner software
is not a reasonable alternative.
Is there another burner package I can try that might work well to burn
large (4 GB) files to DVD? I don't mind paying up to $50 for a package,
and am glad I gave Nero a test drive before finding that it wouldn't
work on my system.
It seems as though correctly copying large files requires the inclusion
of a feature for UDF 1.02 support, which CopyToDVD has, and which I
enabled . What other s/w has that feature? I've read lots of negative
stuff about Roxio's s/w so not sure I want to install that one…

check the web for forums with numerous Nero issues. newer versions have
failed on pc's that worked with earlier versions of Nero. There are
PLENTY of comments about Power calibration errors. Keep in mind that 4
other software programs have burned correctly with my drive. I've
burned DVD movie copies, DVD data, CD data. The issue is Nero, and
Record Now. That's a total of TWO programs that I've had issues with.
It is illogical to think the drive is the problem; it can burn FINE
using appropriate software. I'd be perfectly content to use ONLY
CopyToDVD, EXCEPT that there is no verify function. That means I have
to use additional software to check the burned DVD's...doable, but a PITA.

The disc calibration error usually means the media is not acceptable or up
to standard.
Try a better grade of media with Nero.
Hope this helps.
