can not burn dvd's in windows 8

Recommended Posts

Everything was working fine on windows 7. I upgraded to windows 8 and have not been able to burn a dvd. I was using anydvd along with clonedvd and it was like taking 3 hours to burn a dvd but when It was done the disc would be unreadable. I burned the same file with the same software on another computer and it worked fine. I tried different dvds. So I am thinking its a bad burner so I go out and buy a new one. The new one burns the dvd in like 8 minutes but disc still bad. I figured ok, software might not be working with windows 8. I install imgburn and it seems to write ok but disc still fails. I don't know what else to try. anyone have any ideas? I will try to attach the log file for my last attempt.

I 15:03:42 Family Tree:

I 15:03:42 -> ACPI x64-based PC

I 15:03:42 -> PCI bus

I 15:03:42 -> CD-ROM Drive (hp BD E DH12E3LH SCSI CdRom Device) (Bus Number 0, Target Id 4, LUN 0) is this what you want to look at?

Yes, that's what I needed to see, thanks.

 

Going back to the disc the log in post # 1 belongs to, what happens if you put it back in the drive now?

 

When you're back on the main 'Write' mode screen (or if you're in 'Build' mode, look on the 'Device' tab), what does it list in the disc info box on the right? Copy + paste it all please.

 

At the moment, your drive seems to be going through the entire process of burning the disc (and is reporting 'success' the entire time), but the resulting disc still appears to be blank.

 

AMD controllers/drivers can do weird things to optical drives and as their Windows 8 drivers are probably quite immature, I have even less faith in them than normal.

 

If you have any decent Verbatim (MCC or MKM mid/dye) or Taiyo Yuden discs, please post another log from when you've burnt those at 8x.
