Nero: What is "fixation"

Trying to burn a few jpg files - Nero says it "can't perform fixation"
and aborts.
Worse than that, Nero leaves something running that screws up both the
DVD/CD drive and the CDRW drive. Both say there's no CD in the drive!
I restarted, but finally used System Restore to get it all going
again.

"Fixation", also known as "closing" is writing the information needed
after the data of a disc have been written. Depending on mode, that may
be only the leadout/runout track or a good deal more. Information is in
the page on the TOC in the primer at my WWW site and surely in the CD-R
FAQ, so I will be brief.

It's likely that the problem stems from inability to read the PMA -
assuming you are writing TAO. If so, changing media and/or writing DAO
should get around it. If you're writing DAO, then only media and
temperature (improbable) are likely contributors.

"Could Not Perform Fixation" error was reported many times and so were
the so-called "solutions".

One poster solved the problem by unchecking "Finalize" check box.
Another poster solved it by getting a new burner. Try first clean the
drive and see if that improves things.

"Fixation", also known as "closing" is writing the information needed
after the data of a disc have been written. Depending on mode, that
may be only the leadout/runout track or a good deal more. Information
is in the page on the TOC in the primer at my WWW site and surely in
the CD-R FAQ, so I will be brief.

It's likely that the problem stems from inability to read the PMA -
assuming you are writing TAO. If so, changing media and/or writing DAO
should get around it. If you're writing DAO, then only media and
temperature (improbable) are likely contributors.

Mike

For those of us new to this what are PMA, TAO and DAO?
