verify and anydvd installed

Hello and thank you for imgburn

 

I have Anydvd installed and see your note when I open Imgburn regarding disabling it.

 

I use Imgburn to burn image files with a mds file. I close Anydvd and then use Imgburn.

 

I right click on the mds file and select burn with Imgburn, but when it verifies it finds several I/O errors.

 

Even though I closed anydvd down does something still have control or should I have disabled it before closing? Odd.

 

Because I burn with Alcohol 120% and then Imgburn verifies the image file ok. Only when I burn with Imgburn does the verify return errors.

 

again to clarify:

 

I burn it with Alcohol 120, then verify with Imgburn and it verify no problems.

 

I burn it with Imgburn and verify with Imgburn and has many I/O errors with same image file as used with Alcohol 120.

 

This has been the case with 2 image files (*.iso + *. mds)

 

Is this because Anydvd is installed?

 

Also, I see the mds Imp ID is Apple Computer. Could this be a Mac / PC issue with the MDS or IMG file?

AFAIK, you gotta close AnyDVD and remove it from the system tray. Right click and choose exit, or whatever. But if you have done this, your verify issues are probably due to poor media (eg IO errors are due to not being able to read a sector properly).

 

Verify errors in sectors which are covered by the IFO files (especially VIDEO_TS.IFO) will be caused most likely by AnyDVD.

Here's your problem. A little searching would have told you to get only Verbatim 2.4X dual layer blanks (MKM-001 MID). The inferior blanks some shop assistant has sold you have errored out on the edge (where they are most likely to burp)

Thanks for your reply to my problem. I was surprised to see Ritek. I really thought when I bought these Sony DL DVD at Best Buy that they would have been Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden. I have seen bad reports from other Ritek media, but since Sony had their label on this I was hoping they had chosen a good mfg. Other media I have bought from them were mfg by Taiyo Yuden. But I do realize that you never know until you get home and open the package to put one in your computer and check. I think I will just buy my DL media online now since I can choose what I want.

 

What in the log tells you they errored on the edge?

Grab some Verbatim +R/DL. Everything else is a waste of money.

This does....

DVDs are written in what's called Opposite Track Path. Your burner starts the burn at the centre of layer 0 (the top layer) and writes towards the edge before re-focusing the laser and writing layer 1 (the bottom layer) from the outside toward the centre. If you look above you can see that your media failed at sector 1,997,312 which is roughly half of the 4,173,824 sectors in total. As we know the drive writes from the centre to the outside of the disk, we know that sector 1,997,312 is about the halfway point of the burn and is near the outer edge.

great, thanks for the apprentice training :) I was curious how they were burned and that will help me in future issues. I've had never bought any DVD besides Verbatim in all these years excluding this one time when I trusted Sony. Goes to show when something works, leave it alone.

 

Thanks everyone for your help here. I'm slowly learning all the features of Imgburn. I think its a great tool and I recommend it to my friends and acquaintances. Their replies are very positive. Thanks for a great tool, just as DVD Decrypter still is.

That's the whole idea of verifying. To see if the disk can be read. ImgBurn in write mode writes. It gets back an OK from the drive that it wrote. Now the final test is that it can read exactly what it thought it wrote.

 

That's why you should always verify.

Blu, I read that 3 times and I'm still not sure what you said. =))

 

 

@Sliztzan: What verification does is check your disk for errors after it has been burned. Imgburn will burn your disk and then eject it before checking. Ejecting the disk forces the drive to refresh itself which makes the verification process more accurate. If the disk uses a cheap dye (like CMC or Ritek media), it will usually burn fine but fail to read back what your drive has written.

It's done this way for speed. When you play a movie in your DVD player, the laser will read the final piece of data at the outside edge of layer 0 and then quickly change to to layer 1 and read from the outside edge towards the centre. This way there's only a split second delay as the player changes focus between layers.

ok thank you :)

 

just went to best buy online. they have their verbatim 20 pack 8x dvd+r dual layer dvd on sale for 29.99 best deal i've seen around. about 1.50 per dvd.

just wanted to pass it on to you guys.

That's a good price for them but if you go here you will find them for $27.99.
