It looks like you don't have a DVD writer.

Happy birthday old mate.

You forgot to factor in the square root of 2/5 of fcuck all.

Usually listed in BIOS.

DB, I agree with spinner, electronics normaly have a very low tolerance threshold, Ie. +/- 5%, and because the voltage is already in the low range Ie. 12v or 5v, the 5% equates to 2/5 of fuck all.

I always find this option works best for me, for many reasons. It's a matter of preference rather than speed for me.

Happy birthday young fella.

No, I wouldn't say this was "average". As the boys have already mentioned, we've had drives that have done 1000's of burns and still going strong. I think you were just unlucky with that one.

Yes, welcome back, and enjoy your stay.

What's giving you the message? ImgBurn? If so, please copy and paste the log, if it is one of the other apps you're having the problem with, then sorry, as MJ said we can't help.

Way to go MYM, congrats man, when is the BBQ?

It is a matter of preference, both media types are as good as one another, it's all about drive/media/fw compatibility. (What your drive likes best) You are playing it safe and there is nothing wrong with that. However tests show that with the right drive/media/fw/computer setup you can burn good media at 16x without any problems and or quality issues.

Thanks lmao2k, I knew I could count on you.

I have no doubt I would be, and I don't even live there.

At my age, it's not an issue.

When they make enough coasters?

Yup, persistence.

Never thought of it that way Thanks volvo.

They would have to be very short TXT files, wouldn't they DB? File 1 = CRAP File 2 = CRAP File 3 = CRAP

Here is part of your problem, the discs your using are nothing short of crap. Change your media, and see if that helps. Readability on the above media is a challenge even for the best drives.

I don't understand why? I've reformated many DVD-RW's after burning a movie on them, (used a lot for testing). Can you give us something to work with? Error? just can't do it? what programme you're trying to format it with? What type of drive you have? Media type? etc. Thanks EDIT: Oops, too late.

That's unreal, I would average about at least one a day. WTF

I'm 52 years old, and I have 4 fingers left over.

This will fix it guys, it needs refreshing, you shouldn't have to reboot.

I totaly agree. What a shame.
