  1. The pic quality was a little grainy so I may not have read it right but if your drive is the SOHW-1693s model it might be getting a little old and tired now ? From a quick scan of Google it appears to have been around since at least 2005 and depending on use it may just have retired itself. :/

     

    I believe that drives have a seperate laser for CD and DVD burning, therefore I think it's possible that the DVD one has gone whilst the CD laser is still working ok at the moment......

  2. As above, with cheaper DVD+R DLs (not Verbs) you may get some burns that go ok but you will also get a lot of them that don't....... In nearly all cases I have seen here a switch to Verb 2.4x DVD+R DLs has sorted the problem, they do cost more but that's cos you get a proper DL burn :wink:

  3. We don't mean to sound patronising :) but from a distance it's sometimes hard to diagnose faults like this.

     

    Our first guess is the burner as you stated that all programs were having trouble with a full erase, you also mentioned that a quick erase works but a full erase doesn't. If the same command fails from all your burning programs I can see why the drive was suggested as being at fault. My guess was the RW itself if you believe the burner to be ok, this is because they are not always very reliable when compared to the Verbatim DVD

  4. I would agree with the boss, even without his tests. If all programs that you use are failing to erase the disc under full erase it would definitely point to the drive wouldn't it ?

     

    I assume you have tried other RW's ?? I have never found RW's to be that reliable and certainly not very long lived, maybe this one is just knackered ? Before you change the drive (if you even want to) you might just try a new RW.

  5. :lol: Don't be so sensitive - Lightning UK! wasn't having a go at you, he was explaining that his program is all about giving users a choice. Whilst ImgBurn is easy to use for most people it isn't intended to be used by the very inexperienced, a lot of the features are for more advanced users......

     

    You did the right thing by asking the question but the guide found here does take users through the process.

     

    This really isn't a program that holds your hand, users are expected to have a bit of knowledge and also to use the features available, have you tried the preview cell button ? When picking your layer break this allows you to see where the layer break will be positioned. I usually aim for a frame/shot change as you won't notice the break when it's positioned there. Using preview cell you can pick the best option for your own preference. :wink:

  6. The quotes on the EZ picker screen are excellent............... they are all I use ImgBurn for these days...... :lol: Yes I am joking but I do agree with you that they add a nice little bit of humour....
