[dbminter]

Of course, one wants to initially point the finger of blame at the use of CMC media, the worst optical disc manufacturer out there.

[LIGHTNING UK!]

 

If the drive can't burn those discs at any of the 'Supported' write speeds, give up with using them and buy some better ones.

[desgnr]

What about this error: INVALID ADDRESS FOR WRITE.

What does that mean,i have to select another location ?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Ignore that one, it's the first error you get that matters and yours was...

 

W 15:48:23 Failed to Write Sectors 64 - 95 - Reason: Session Fixation Error Writing Lead In

[desgnr]

What does that error mean ?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

It means what it says.

 

But to you as an end user, it means your drive is having trouble burning the discs you're trying to use... which you already knew because it keeps failing.

[dbminter]

I, too, would recommend you try something other than CMC media.  CMC media is such a common cause of problems that it's basically in the FAQ about causing problems.    Especially with DVD+R DL's.  Although your problem is with DVD-R.  Still, people find their problems generally miraculously disappear when they don't use CMC media.  Unfortunately, with brick and mortar store discs, you pretty much will only find CMC media on shelves.  Try Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden.  However, be aware that even Verbatim uses CMC on some of their products, like some of their CD-R's, some of their BD-R's, and they switched their BD-RE's to CMC.    I use Lightscribe Verbatim DVD-R's.  They're MCC discs.  (Notice how CMC tries to fool you into thinking they're quality product by rearranging the letters of a known good disc ID string?)  However, I order my media from Amazon.com because you can't find quality media in stores.  Although locally Office Depot has started offering Verbatim DVD-R's.  I've wanted to get some and see if they're quality MCC or cheap CMC.

[desgnr]

What is CMC???????

[dbminter]

CMC is short hand for CMC Magnetics, the actual manufacturer of the DVD-R you were trying to burn to.  If you check out this line from your log:

 

I 15:47:33 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: CMC MAG. AM3)

 

 

The Disc ID reveals (Unless it's faked.) who actually made the disc.  CMC MAG. is, of course, CMC Magnetics.  CMC Magnetics is the worst optical disc manufacturer out there.  Their media is constantly known to fail in various stages of creating discs.  Sometimes at the LeadIn right at the very beginning.  Sometimes randomly during the burn.  Sometimes burns will complete but fail during Verify.  Sometimes burns and Verifies complete but the discs aren't recognized by stand alone DVD players or play back pixelated/with errors, or simply don't play at all.

 

 

In other words, CMC is responsible for well over 50 percent of the problems we see on this board. 

[dbminter]

It sounds like you may have, in fact, bought some Verbatim Life Series DVD-R's from a store.  I just bought some Verbatim Life Printable DVD-R's from Office Depot to see if they're quality MCC's or cheap CMC's.  The Disc ID?  Guess what: Manufacturer ID: CMC MAG. AM3.

 

 

As I said, even Verbatim uses CMC.  Unfortunately, Verbatim chooses to tarnish their good name by getting in bed with CMC.  In fact, the only quality Verbatim medium when it comes to DVD is their DataLife Plus line.

 

 

Anyway, so, naturally, these discs are going back to Office Depot for a refund as I return all CMC media to the store I bought it from.  And most of the time I do it with online purchases, too.
 

[desgnr]

Is there a way to tell when i buy Verbatim who made the disc ?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Try and buy them from an online store that actually lists the MID of the discs.

[dbminter]

Unfortunately, you won't find a way to do so in a brick and mortar store.  Companies won't put the Manufacturer/Disc ID on the package because if you knew CMC made them, you wouldn't buy them!    If you go with store bought media, the only way is to open the package, insert a disc into a drive on a PC, open ImgBurn in Write mode, and check the right pane of info for the MID/DID.

 

 

Buying them online is the way to go.  However, a lot of sites don't list the MID/DID either!    Your best bet is to read the reviews on sites to see if a reviewer lists the MID/DID.  Like I do on Amazon.com.    Kind guys like me will point out when a Verbatim media is crap CMC or good MCC/MKM (e.g. Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation)

 

 

If you live in the United States, I can forward links to past purchases I made on Amazon.com on quality DVD-R.  UNLESS, of course, older media like inkjet printable I haven't bought in years have changed to CMC.  My DVD-R's are only Lightscribe MCC's.  However, they no longer make Lightscribe drives so paying extra for the Lightscribe label surface may not be your cup of tea, since you will be able to write to them but not print on the Lightscribe label side.

[dbminter]

BTW, if it makes you feel any better, you're not the first person to be burned by CMC.  I have a story to tell you! 

 

 

I was out $1,000 because of those fuckers!    I used to use Optodisc DVD-R because they used to make a quality product at a good price.  Then, they went cheap and switched to CMC.  I didn't know it about CMC at the time so when my burns started failing, I first replaced my PC burner.  Then, I got another stack of discs back when they were $250 for 100 of them.  Then, they started failing in my standalone DVD recorder.  I replaced it since it was a few years old.  Still had the problem so I took the issue to the forum that preceded ImgBurn's.  That's when I started seeing posts about CMC causing the problem.  So, I checked my discs that were failing and sure enough, Optodisc had switched to CMC.

 

 

So, after all that trouble and money, I put Optodisc and CMC on my list.  I've never bought another Optodisc product and I return most (Sometimes you have no choice, like everyone seems to use CMC for BD-RE now!  ) CMC products.  CMC is simply not worth the money.  Believe it or not, sometimes, CMC made a decent product!    Their DVD+R and CD-R were alright back when I had some before I learned about CMC and replaced them.  And I've not had an issue with their BD-RE yet.  However, that being said, I still don't trust CMC as far as I can throw their corporate headquarters!  I wouldn't trust CMC for long term storage because of their history of low quality product.  If their DVD-R media won't even finish a burn, how can I trust their media will be readable a year from now?    The old Optodisc I have from 12 years ago are still playable today.  Optodisc from CMC wouldn't even finish burns or if they did wouldn't finish verifies.

[dbminter]

If you can order from Amazon.com, these are the last Verbatim DVD-R's I bought that weren't Lightscribe.

 

 

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002OOWC8I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

 

I haven't bought these in over 4 years.  But, back then, they were MCC discs, which means Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation made them.  MCC makes some of the best optical media out there. 

 

 

These are inkjet printable discs.  So, you may not need that feature on your discs.  I don't have an inkjet printer, so I just write on the surface with CD approved markers.
