Nero has starting failing all my DVD writing attempts....?!

Hey everyone,

My system:
AMD XP Athlon 2500+ Barton,
Asus A7N8X-D (v.2),
512mb pc3200 RAM,
Plextor 708-A DVD writer,
2x Maxtor HDD's (40gb+140gb),
Win XP Pro (SP1).

For some reason all my DVD writing attempts have failed (total of 7 in the last month), i can still burn CD's...
I thought it might have been Nero's fault, but am unsure...
Help!!

Here is the log Nero gave me (i am using Nero 6):
