izanami Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Hi everyone, let me start off by saying how lucky I am to have finally registered on here ( I hadn't been able to fill out the registration form because the CAPTCHA thing wouldn't show up despite having Silverlight, Flash, Shockwave Player and Java installed and up to date including the correct content settings ). At any rate, here's my issue as it stands: I 09:13:29 ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 started!

At the time it took 3 seconds to write the lead-in as opposed to most tries during which it takes 7 minutes or so for an error to show up in the log. As you may be able to tell, I have no idea what I did right back then... I was using the same brand from the same batch of DVDs. If anyone has tips I could use please let me know. I know many of you have a sharp eye for this kind of thing so hopefully there might be something I haven't tried yet. I appreciate the time!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Your drive doesn't appear to like the discs you're trying to use. Return the settings to their default values and buy some different discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried googling this drive earlier on and the results stated little as to which brands it liked and which not... I seem to be in a pickle here, hmm. EDIT: Oh and congratulations on the prince turning 1! Wasn't that yesterday though. Edited July 23, 2014 by izanami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Yes, try some Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden (JVC) discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izanami Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) Yes, try some Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden (JVC) discs. Mhm, I see Verbatim DVD-R spindles are for sale nearby. They look like these: https://www.mediaprostore.com/images/product_images/popup_images/1858_0__1387_dvd-r-verbatim-ls-cake.jpg So, will burning at 4x yield better results than burning at 8x? I could use the extra longevity with my discs. EDIT: Tried writing to a spare Philips DVD+R DL... it works. I guess my drive doesn't like this particular brand after all. Hopefully Verbatims will cut it. Edited July 24, 2014 by izanami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
