Shadowsoul Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Just wanted to ask people that probably know alot more than i do about burning so here goes: When burning DVD:s on my old trustworthy NEC ND1300A (flashed with herries RPC-1 region free firmware from ages ago) everything works fine until i try to verify the burn, it always fails due to some expected value that are wrong at the same offset. Always at the same position, no matter what media. Anyone know if it's the writer that's slowly dying or if it's just some other thing? Burning straight from .ISO/.IMG or using an .MDF makes no difference at all. Any help/ideas are welcome, don't want to throw away the burner if the errors aren't really errors (the discs seem to read fine just watching them, just not sure if the errors are serious in any other way).

Grain Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Your drive is a bit old, and may not like newer/faster media. I see there's a Herries 108 firmware available, I'd try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 If you have anydvd/dvd43/dvd region + css free installed, please ensure they're disabled before you verify anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Old memories... There is a ver 1.0C that I remember was very nice. http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1517 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowsoul Posted February 14, 2006 Author Share Posted February 14, 2006 If you have anydvd/dvd43/dvd region + css free installed, please ensure they're disabled before you verify anything. Seems that was the problem, disabled AnyDVD and it works flawlessly. Thanks a ton for the answer, didn't think that would be a problem when only verifying.
