mrnull Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I've been troubled by this ImgBurn error for a long time, and I still don't understand it. There doesn't appear to be enough space on the disc to burn this image. Image size: 604,400 Sectors (1,180 MB) Disc size: 583,168 Sectors (1,139 MB) Would you like to continue anyway? I get this whenever I try to burn an iso specifically made for a mini dvd-r, on a mini dvd-r. I've tried different brands, different sized discs (1.4GB and 1.46GB) and am still having the same problem. Since I get this with every mini dvd-r iso, could it be my OPTORITE DVD RW DD0203 drive?

Since I get this with every mini dvd-r iso, could it be my OPTORITE DVD RW DD0203 drive? its the blank disc thats to small !! look at the bit i made bold above . bottom line is the image is to big for the blank media . the iso "specifically made for mini dv" is to large im afraid . although most 8cm dvd's are listed as 1.4gb , they dont actually hold 1.4gb , in a similar way that DV5 discs are not 5gb or 4.7gb, only hold 4.35gb it could be that your writer does not like these size of discs, and doesnt read them properly , which is why it reports to IB they are 1.139MB . you could shrink the iso smaller so its less than 1139mb and see if it burns ok then check your writer manufacturers web site for any info regarding your drive and 8cm discs in case of problems or known issues when using them as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnull Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 check your writer manufacturers web site for any info regarding your drive and 8cm discs in case of problems or known issues when using them as well Thanks for the information! I sent Optorite an e-mail (their site sucks!) but they claim to have limited support based on when the drive was actually purchased. Since I got it off eBay, I'll be lucky if they respond. Would anyone else mind trying to burn an image much to large with their mini dvd-r's and telling me how much they can actually hold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvofl10 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 i looked round optorites site as well for you, and as you say, it sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnull Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 i looked round optorites site as well for you, and as you say, it sucks Thanks to ImgBurn's "Find New Firmware" button, I was able to try firmwares 2.03, 2.04, and 2.15. And while the first two weren't able to recognize mini dvd-r's at all, the last had the same problem I reported earlier. This is so strange!

volvofl10 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 althougth most dvd drives have a countersink in the disc draw for 8cm discs, not many of them actually work with 8cm discs. my lg drive is the same , as was plextor with mini cd's. and is a pioneer cd player in the car you need to find out from optorite if that drive was meant to be used with the 8cm discs before you trouble yourself with why they wont work for you it may even be a case of getting an adadpter/caddy for the drive to recognise the disc just looked for firmware for your drive, and ther'ss several updates . you mention youve tried 3 differant ones, but ahve you tried 2.50 , which si the latest of all of the uppdates ? 2.03, 2.04, 2.06, 2.07, 2.09, 2.11, 2.14, 2.15 , 2.16, 2.23, 2.25, 2.30, 2.50 (for Windows 2000 and Windows XP) here's a link to v2.50 for you HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnull Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 just looked for firmware for your drive, and ther'ss several updates . you mention youve tried 3 differant ones, but ahve you tried 2.50 , which si the latest of all of the uppdates ? First of all, thanks so much for all of your help. I have tried 2.50, the guy who sold me the drive actually updated the firmware before he shipped it. Go eBay! I like your caddy idea (don't have money for a new drive) but isn't it weird that the drive will write mini dvd-r's, though it doesn't do it right? I wonder if it could be an alignment problem or something. Unfortunately, it sounds right now like I'll have to save up for a new drive. I can't find record of anyone experiencing this problem before. I'll update if I ever get a reply from Optorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polopony Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 been there with Optorite and all I can suggest is to get a big hammer take the drive outside and smash the living crap out of it you'll feel much better and it wont be the source of future problems .Nec ,Plextor BenQ and Pioneer theres no reason to choose any other drives maybe a LiteO n Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus_McFartfinger Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 They sure are. Mrs Shamus bought me a Gamecube a little while back. Not a bad machine but the hand controllers suck bigtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus_McFartfinger Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Don?t they what. The original controller is still the best IMO. One of the very few things that Sony has done right. Building a network card that allows a HD to be installed in a PS2 was the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
