in nero first choose your recorder. Then pop in an empty dvd. After that select disc info.

If this still fails, close all programs (virusscanners, monitoring software and so forth) and try again in Nero.

that's pretty weird. I think you should ask the manufacturer for the compatibility list (which blank dvd's were tested and approved) and test these brands. According to this review the writer can cope with practically any standard.
