but that's only version 8.3.1.1009 whereas Gigabyte appears to be hosting a newer (8.3.1.1011) one.
Many thanks!
I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled. That driver listed on GB site is not that version. Or more to the point it installs v 8.3.0.1016.
Or maybe Vista has me beat? ha. I swear I installed it correctly. I had to reboot. I uninstalled the driver file as well as deleted it. And Vista came back up with generic sata controllers. Then I installed the driver.
Strange. Maybe I will try the one on intel site. Thanks again.
There is one file I found with a version matching the file listing (plus the readme's version info says 8.3.1.1011.):

Thanks for the heads up. I installed that. Somehow I think Vista thinks it knows best and installed a "Vista" driver through update?
(I seem to recall this.) I will update it again!

If manually setting the booktype is failing then your SATA driver/chipset could be blocking it. Have a look at this post and see if it applies to you.
I am running AHCI "seconday" BIOS on a gigabyte board eP35-DS3R. SO that may be it, but (no) that post above doesn't really apply.

Just have compatibility mode set for this program as per others suggestions
Who suggested that?!
Make it look like Vista again or none of the Vista 'tweaks' will be visible.
Don't remember where I saw that post. I was having other issues when I first installed and I remember "Running as Admin + XP Comp." as being possible fixes... It's set it back.

Those are low quality discs, so try burning at 8x, maybe 12x, and see how it goes. You don't need to remove AnyDVD: just make sure you're using the latest version available and that it's disabled while burning with ImgBurn.
By the way, in the log it shows 'Book Type Setting: N/A' because the drive doesn't report it, but I can assure you it does booktype properly, provided that you're using ImgBurn's default settings.
Yep, I set AUTO media type at 16x. Failed @ 99%. Ug. Then set media to 12x. Burned finished. (Verifying as I type this.)
I know this has probably been posted a number of times, but what is a good dependable media to use with this drive that will at least support approx 16x?
Also, not that I doubt you, but if BookType is set, why does it fail when trying to set it manually?
Thanks so much for quick response mmalves!
Ok verify is done.
BTW I am using Vista 64bit (Ultimate.) Just have compatibility mode set for this program as per others suggestions:

SB03 is at the first page of Samsung ODD's Firmware page
Posting a log of one of these failed burns also would help
Sorry was finding my drive on lower half of page. Will update firmware and report back (with log
) -
It shouldn't need a 'retry' to make it finalise properly, that's the whole point
TSST drives are by far the worst for this problem.
Have you tried changing the 'Write Type' yet as mentioned earlier?
Or enabling 'DVD+R Reserve Track' ?
I'd be interested to see if those discs then played on your standalone.
btw, what are you burning there... I ask because you're only using the ISO9660 file system rather than Joliet or UDF. Is there a reason for that?
If you've got a working (in the standalone) disc anywhere, make an image in Read mode and then use that as your source to burn in Write mode - just to rule everything else out.
I was hopping I dd not really have to find a new burner, as ImgBurn 2.4.0.0, and the firmware update (SB03) had worked around or fixed the burner problems.The incorrect booktype may be the reason that the finished disc is not recognized by your stand alone player. Some players are really finicky about this point. Settng the booktype to DVD-ROM was a big part of the +R media contribution, and failing this function means the burner does not (properly) support +r/+rw.
I have a Samsung SH-S203B (FW:SB02) (Don't see SB03 on rpc1 site?). I have gotten disks to work, but again setting the booktype "manually" returns a "Unknown (Failed!)". So knowing this, it makes sense that media isn't playing on some stand alones. I have searched and found links to the newer firmware, but strictly speaking Samsung site still lists SB02 as newest. I think I download SB03 from softpedia, so this is okay to use on mine? Did this correct your set booktype function?
I have write fails at around 75% (14x +-) of disk write. Usually (DVD movie burns specifically) so I think maybe it is just trying to burn at too high a rate for media?
Don't have a log right now..forgot to save. (damn and already have two coasters...
I do have DVDInfo image.Thanks.

have you tried with another I/O interface ?
Funny that you say that. I just switched it a minute ago to SPTI and all is well (burned at 8.2x most of the way)!
@LIGHTNING UK!:
Ya, I figured, actually during the write I mentioned above(in *this msg* ^ not the one that slowed down to 6x), at first the image buffer fluctuated quite a bit (all above 80% though) then after 1/2 way through the burn it 'stabilized' at 99%+. SO there you go. Hopefully this is working right now. I am happy..
-
Thanks for the quick reply (to both of you)!
-
Ok, I just tried what you told me to do lightning uk.
I increased my I/O buffer size to 40mb from 20mb. And then I also updated my DVR112 to the latest firmware (1.15). However, the same problem exists. Both buffers empty like crazy and then it slows my computer down like crazy!
If it might help with the problem solving, I am using Windows VISTA Ultimate 32-Bit...
I am also having the same prob.. Haven't tried other media but these are "Maxell DVD-R" "6x 8x 12x 16x" (supposedly).
My drive should be capable of 8x? I get the hard drive problem 1-5 times. (It throttles back like it is suppose too, but I don't understand why it would have to do this?) (SATA Drive 60MB+ Rsec) (No other running programs.. I looked with Process Explorer during one burn). My buffer was 40MB this time.. same problem but it only throttled back once(!) Oh ya, once it throttles the speed back shouldn't it try and go back up to 8x again? (It always stays at 6x - with this media at least...) This is what bothers me the most.. or is it suppose to do this. Well overall I am very happy with your software. Thanks ahead of time!
BTW I just remembered. Maybe it is the media, as I recall I haven't really tried to burn at 8x until recently. I never noticed this problem (and my buffer use to be 20mb, too!) So dunno....?

More Samsung SH-S203B Poblems

No- not running in RAID. I am planning on possibly running in RAID in future. The funny thing is, that if you try and boot vista64/XP/etc (at least on this bios) you either have to install using ATA configuration or AHCI, and once installed if you change it back you get blue screened on boot up (in other words you have to re-install. It did this to me after I installed it under ATA (main) Bios, and then tried to turn on AHCI+NCQ. So before I added all the programs/etc (like imgburn
) I decided to format/reinstall using AHCI (in case I needed it in the furture.) I also wanted NCQ to use eSATA bracket at some point. (Have to use AHCI bios for that.) My point is I would rather get it working like it is. Sounds like I shouldn't have a problem reverting back, actually. And it sounds to me that to avoid BSOD (when switching on secondary bios, you just need to boot up with regular bios and install AHCI/SATA drivers, then turn AHCI bios on and reboot into OS. But I have seen(read) differing opinions/results doing this under Vista.
