When backing up my DVD's using Img Burn to either a HP lightscribe DVD+R 16x(CMC MAG-MO1-0) or Verbatin lightscribe DVD+R I get a lot of Interpretation Write Sector Error and Interpretation Unknown Vendor Unique Error messages and end up throwing away a lot of discs. In reading the threads on this site, which are extremely helfull to us less computer savy people, that these error messages are becasue of the quality of the discs. What lightscribe discs should I use to avoid discarding so many of them? Any assistance and sdvise would be appreciated Thanks John

I downloaded the firmware and it says to continue if you are using different transfer programs. you have to do different things but I do not use any of the programs listed to do the transfers I use either Imgburn or DVDecrypter to write to the disc. John

Thanks for the reply. My machine is a Compaq Preserio I have tries both HP DVD+R Disc and Verbatin DVD+R John

I jsut tries DVD Decryper also and this is the log.What is the problem.

When I try to transfer a movie from my hard drive to a blank DVD+R in the E drive I keep getting an I/O message. The write sectors are not always the same but the message is basically the same each time and is gives the message after about 2% of the transfer has been made. I have tried HP DVD+R and Verbatim DVD+R discs and the same message appears. What really confuses me iis that for the longest time the transfers worked fine. I do not think I did anything to change anything but I am not real computer savy so I may have by accident but I can not figure out what has happened. My computer is a Compaq Presario with windows XP and the E drive has the HP lightscribe. It would be greatly appreciated if one of the experts on this forum could take a look at the message I get and advise me what to do to fix it. The message is as follows; I/O Error!
