Does the burner read/play ok with other non-.cdm discs?
Check the problem .cdm discs with DiscSpeed (SpeedDisc).
How about uninstall all burn softwares, delete Upper/Lower Filters and
then reinstall only NTI?
Upper/Lower Filters:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\

NTI could be choking on the large number of files, perhaps because some
sort of index(?) files got corrupted, or it's not designed to handle
1.5M files. I would try uninstall NTI and then delete all NTI files.
Also clean out temporary directories just in case any temporay NTI files
are around. Then reinstall and see if it still chokes.
