hmm... Can you give me an example of like Write modes for example..if I backup my movies...I extract the files into my comp... and have a video_ts folder but I use Build mode and not write mode.. like whens the occassion do I use Write mode? thanks..

I believe only in Build mode.. hasn't really tried Write mode..since im not sure what it does... just curious....since we're at it...whats the difference anyways with build and write mode? and Im guessing that its the spindle that I bought thats the problem.... I guess cant really expect all 100 of the discs to be succesful..or like they may slip in a couple of damaged one ins... doesnt matter that much to me as long as majority of the discs are 'burnable'

Hmm..ok so I checked out the Verbs that I have Mine looks exactly like the one that Cynthia put up...just that mine is a 100 pieces.... and single layer... and its made in Taiwan...

It is verbatim... Just wonderin tho...is it the case that it's not genuine or so?

This is a copy of the successful log with the same type of media and burner... However, some burns successfully and some has like medium incompatible format.. i dont get why the error occurs when basically its all the same media from the same spindle... I 17:16:33 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started! I 17:16:33 Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 3) I 17:16:33 Total Physical Memory: 3,078,632 KB - Available: 2,224,140 KB W 17:16:33 Drive D:\ (FAT32) does not support single files > 4 GB in size. I 17:16:33 Initialising SPTI... I 17:16:33 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices... I 17:16:33 Found 1 DVD-ROM and 1 DVD

I put in a blank verbatim single layer disc into my burner.. and for some reason it says incompatible medium installled.. even after I reboot I have the same results for two of the discs.. the third one I put in read as a blank disc what was the problem? and what does the error mean?

ok thanks

Ok, So I just installed a new driver as you can see in the log... and also I used Verbatim single layer.. So I was wondering if this burn was a successful one? The burn process took nearly 10 minutes at 8x speed.. so heres the log: I 20:41:43 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started! I 20:41:43 Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 3) I 20:41:43 Total Physical Memory: 3,078,632 KB - Available: 2,521,988 KB W 20:41:43 Drive D:\ (FAT32) does not support single files > 4 GB in size. I 20:41:43 Initialising SPTI... I 20:41:43 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices... I 20:41:44 Found 1 DVD-ROM and 1 DVD

thanks for the info

Don't mind me guys but what is dao mode.... And what is it used for?

Oh wow...I didn't expect it to be so simple.. Thought it was more complicated Thanks...

Thank you!!

Yea either that.. or sorry to say you got ripped off maybe?

XD wonder how'd I miss that Thats cool, i'll be getting the same one something outa topic ....so.. was the installation easy tho?

Just a random thought that came by me, And I was confused with whats a dual and single layer of a disc... as I've read about ppl trying to burn single layer or dual layer... basically whats the difference? and how do I know if my burner and my media is single or dual compatible (Not sure if the question actually makes sense to you guys)

You bought Imgburn? huh? Anyways just to let you know, to copy wii games with your computer, you would require specific LG burner models

haha thats nice to know ok thats alot mmalves.. im pretty sure im getting that burner and once I installed it and burn I'll keep you updated with results.. hopefully good results ... dislike wasting on coasters thanks again

ok cool, thanks appreciate it alot I've heard around that ppl say Pioneer's burners are reliable.. so I was wondering what do you guys think of this: Pioneer Black 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 40X CD-R 32X CD-RW 40X CD-ROM 2MB Cache IDE 20X DVD

It's not that I'm reluctant or anything... Its that I'm not sure which drivers my desktop is compatible with and the fact that I dont even know how to remove my broken burner...I tried taking it out but it seems stuck I read through some articles about the drives .. and I realize something about IDE and SATA and since under my device manager i have like 2 primary and 2 secondary IDE channels.. so am I right to think that the burners I should get should be in IDE? or it doesn't even matter?

Ok thx...simply speakin tho... Why is an internal burner better than an external ones? Is it because external tends to fail more in burning wise:. Sry I know this is not the right section...I apologiZe

Thanks for the heads up...a Pioneer burner:.thx I looked through the supported media... And I can't seem to find verbatim... It's most likely be able to support it yea?

I see...but I believe that if I get a new burner... It doesn't really tell me which media its gonna support.. Or at least I think as this is gonna be my first time purchasin a burner As u said b4 tho...can that error be possibly bcos my burners dead...I was trying to find that out but wasting alot on coasters And I hate it

Oh and also...what does the error Invalid Address For Write really mean? Like was it more of a DVD burner failure or something... Just figuring things out..cause I'm planning to get an internal burner but don't know how to remove my current burner So yea..help me out n thanks

I didn't notice that... Thanks I got what I needed to know now

and then whats the next step? Is there like a manual to it where I can look through it?
