quirk Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) I installed ImgBurn last week and burnt several DVDs very easily. Today it's failing. 6 discs tried, 6 fails. I'm using brand new, single layer, Verbatim dvds (same batch as last week). Trying to burn some mp4s (also happens with avi) gives the following. Any advice please?

LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Only being offered 4x on 16x discs isn't great. If that's all it's ever done, you should probably think about investing in a new drive. Have you tried cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc?

quirk Posted February 22, 2013 Author Share Posted February 22, 2013 It did 16x the week before last on Nero 8, don't know why ImgBurn has decided 4x. Also, would be amazing timing if all it needed was a clean! Can I also ask why avi & mp4 aren't on the list of 'supported files'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 The 4x speed is all the drive is reporting. If the reported speeds vary if you eject + reinsert the disc, it must be having some sort of trouble reading them. So yeah, cleaning the drive may help. It could also be a sign of the drive dying. avi and mp4 aren't disc image files, that's why they aren't on the 'supported' files list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quirk Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Hello I've tried cleaning the drive but still can't burn a dvd. As an experiment, however, I thought I'd try with a cd and burnt one of the files I had been trying previously - on the dvd drive (the cd drive is read only). Do I still have a dying drive?

Cynthia Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I've had many drives that went dead on burning DVDs, but they could still burn CDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
