trueno!

Hey... LOL... love the avatar giffy... did you get that from a full video clip?

I'm not sure whether I am aloud to put the link containing the firmware for my Pioneer 111D on this forum (due to legalities) as it voids the drive's warranty but If you google for 'The Dangerous Brothers Presents' you should be able to get to the site from there... I hope that helps you!

I'd suspected that the media I am using is the cause of the incomplete burns... Well, thanks for the advice...

Can any1 explain to me why I get a incomplete disk when the disk does not complete the finalisation? Here, below is my problem: I 23:14:23 Writing LeadIn... I 23:14:25 Writing Image...

I C... Thanks Lightning... I can see why my DL disks I build is a bit off when previewing them on a DVD player... Well Thanks for the info... back to rebuilding DL iso's

Hi All, I have two questions to ask... 1. When I choose the position of the layer break example below, does the position I choose get burned on the L0 layer or L1 layer, what I mean is does the layer break position chosen be the last position on L0 gets burned before burning onto the next position on the L1 layer (using the picture below as an example)? 2. Which of the the two pics below would you guys think is the best choice for layer breaking?

I have now tried "AGAIN" burning onto these Infiniti DL disks and I am now convinced that imgBurn, my burner, and the iso's are perfectly okay... So I am going to find those Verbatim DL disks you all been raving about and give them a try... Now... can you remind which dye type I should be looking for that has the best results of the Verbatim DL disks. Many thanks to all you have replied and helped me understand the details with DL disks.

Hi again, I have tried all supported speeds that the 111D can write onto these Infiniti DL disks (are they really made by Ricoh?), hence the several coasters that I have now, and yes I even tried extracting the iso's and rebuilding the vob files using imgBurn, I still get the same layer 1 write error... I've also had some problems with DataWrite Gray top Titanium dual layer disks aswell but not as much with the Infiniti ones... I'm gonna try burning the ISO's as normal data files using Nero 7 and see if the disks are any better and determine whether imgBurn is the problem... I'll keep this post updated with new findings Cheers

Thanks for the reply... I had a feeling that I brought the wrong blank media... I cant believe that these Inifiniti DL DVD+R's are so incompatible with my Pioneer 111D... Does any1 have any idea what kind of software should I be using which is from Spruce Technologies, because the ISO's that I am trying to burn onto these DL DVD+Rs were created using Spruce Technologies DVD9 creater... Much Appreciated!

I have a Pioneer 111D firmware 1.29 rpc1 fix and I bought some Inifiniti Dual Layer DVD+R's to burn some Dual Layered ISO's (w/ MDS accompanied files). Problem I have been trying to sort out is that when I my 111D starts trying to burn layer 1 (2nd layer) from the ISO image using ImgBurn 2.1.0.0, I get a 20 failed retry error messages and I have to cancel the process. I have done this with the same ISO on these blank DVD+R DL media several times and still get the same error. Can any1 here suggest why this is so? Could this be a media problem or ISO problem? as far as I know they sort of burn okay on gray top Titatinium Datawrite DL DVD+R's but not always perfect. here's my log report on my last DL burn: I 14:05:14 ImgBurn Version 2.1.0.0 started!
