SUPERCOOLMAN

after trying again with another ISO file, problem disappeared (!) tests for this mysterious issue left me with 15 junk discs XD

with more tests, I found out that Sony DVD+R 16X and Verbatim 16X also have the same problem. looks like a drive issue. I wonder if anyone has tried this with firmware 1.0A. Please post your result

I used Optiarc DVD RW AD-7200S 1.0A to burn DVD+R DL made in china (Prodisc ... etc), TDK's and Verbatim at 4X for more than 3 months ago and all of these backups are still playable as of now. -just another solution besides trying different brands of blank media

I just tried ImgBurn enabled OPC with Optiarc DVD RW AD-7200S 1.0B burning same ISO iamge file to 5 Fuji DVD+R from the same 50pc package and found out that OPC is no good for this combo. When checked OPC option, Disc 1,2 and 4 were burned succesfully, but failed verification with similar error at different sector. Disc 3 and 5 were burned and verified successfully with OPC option unchecked. Below is the log between enable OPC and disable OPC. with OPC I 04:07:08 Operation Started!

after so many finalize failure, I decided to format HDD then re-install OS. I removed all IDE devices and then re-install my WIN XP. Now with nvidia Drivers loaded, I can burn, finalize and verify without any problem at all. just the way it should this info is for anyone who experiences the same problem. ps I tried to remove all IDE devices without re-install OS, it didn't work.

yup, that's why I was wondering how do I not find the cable if it's long enough to go from far left (JMicron) to far right (BIOS) lol I find it finny that there are chances when you keep hitting retry for failure to finalize pop up panel, it will succeed and verification is 100% successful. However, if it doesn't successfully finish the DVD with 10 retries, then that DVD is garbage

sorry, 1109 was my typo.I have 1104 BIOS. I opened case and didn't find any connector for BIOS or Controller. I searched on web and found nothing about updating or flashing JMicron Controller BIOS. I'm currently out of idea

Sorry, how do you do that exactly? I just install under windows by executing setup.exe and from the boot display, it didn't update BIOS of the controller.

I updated with [JMicron JMB36X Driver R1.17.39 WHQL (2008.08.01)] from that ftp and still have same problem driver ReleaseNote says it fixed burning failure on this driver .... R1.17.39WHQL (08/01/08') - Burning disc failed. - The hotplug of two SATA ODD has problem. - Removable icon doesn't show for HDD. - IDE disks are wrongly set as removable.

Thanks for the tips, I'll try that

BwgBurn wasn't on the testing list, so it's hard to say whether it's not picking it up.

I love ImgBurn, it's the best burning software I've ever get my hands on. However, I am experiencing some difficulties with my burner. I'm using Sony NEC Optiarc AD-7200S @ firmware 1.06 level with Sony DVD+R 16X to burn the same ISO 3 times. All failed with the same problem. When I use BwgBurn to burn that ISO with same burner and blank DVDs, all succeed without problem. Can someone help me please? here are the logs: I 11:58:22 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!
