DVR writer Reads but does not Write

I have exact same issue. Reads but does not write
1st things 1st
Q:Did you check if the Writer is working on another computer?
-I tried it works.
A: The writer files are knocked off, may be removed while removing a Virus or uninstalling a writer software.
-Try updating firmware or a different burning software(uninstall previous software 1st), Update codecs.
-If you were using multiple burning softwares then delete upper and lower filters from registry( google it to find exact procedure and location)
-Check if the required service is working in services.msc( Command prompt) as mentioned above
-If still doesn't work format/reinstall the OS.

Q:Writes but only 30 mins of the movie.(Usually seen when writing CDs)
-If nero, its the version of nero which does not have the proper codecs esp the ones below v7,
-Go for latest Nero or a different burning software
-Update codecs pack

System restore is one good tool you can use, if it was working earlier
Just restore to the day it was working

Hope this helps!

DVR writer Reads but does not Write

I have the same issue. Also, I tried 3 different brands of DVDs at my work on 4 different computers and still the same thing. I am convinced that it has something to do with a windows update. We did get a large one recently. I plan on backing all 2010 updates out and see if that works.

Also, I bought a completely different burner and still the same issue.
