mmalves Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I 22:40:34 Destination Device: [1:0:0] MATSHITA BD-CMB UJ-120 1.01 (E:) (ATA)I 22:40:34 Destination Media Type: DVD+R (Disc ID: MCC-003-00) (Speeds: 2.4x, 4x, 6x, 8x) I 22:40:34 Write Speed: MAX Have you tried burning at 4x or 6x? Is that real Verbatim 8x DVD+R blanks? Also check the laptop's manufacturer website for firmware updates for your burner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also check the laptop's manufacturer website for firmware updates for your burner. i checked for updates...there's none. they're just random cheap discs but all have worked before. different speeds give the same error and its a HP Pavillion dv6724tx Edited September 18, 2008 by DUD3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 they're just random cheap discs but all have worked before. Just as I thought You see, those random cheap discs identify themselves to the burner as if they were high quality media, and when the burner tries to burn them with the "good media" strategy, it fails because the dye of the disc is crap. Try with real high quality media, such as Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden blanks, and you'll get good burns at any speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUD3 Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 i haven't got the money to buy high quality. and like i said....it worked fine before. im just looking for a fix that doesn't involve expensive discs that may not work anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Only 3 things really come into play here... Drive Firmware Media You need to change one of them in the hope that the 3 then play happily together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUD3 Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 so u think its the burner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 If they're fake MCC discs, they would be the first thing to rule out. Get yourself some Taiyo Yuden 8x DVD-R (TYG02 dye) discs and give them a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
