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).
Cheers,
Linus
