Keep getting an error @ exactly 50% write completion

Recommended Posts

I was having no issues with dvd decrypter (for ISO burn on D/L) for a long time. However, now I am getting write errors @ exactly 50 % completion every time. I have ruined several disks trying to solve this problem. I found out about IMGBURN and thought I would try it. Unfortunately I get the same exact error. Have I killed my drive by using it "a lot" ? Any ideas??????

Thank You in advance.

I even just tried a reallu old dvd (thought maybe it was some kind of protection issue?) and it is still giving me an error at 50 %???

We can't discuss the copying/ripping of movies here, but you should not be using anything other than Verbatim DVD+R DL discs. No matter what you are using it for, Verbatim is the ONLY good DL media.

Up until 6-8 months ago I was a dedicated Ritek user also. Their quality control has steadily declined and now their media is on the 'junk' list as far as I am concerned. You are, of course, free to use anything you want, but we recommend the use of Verbatim +R DL's here. If you are seeking our opinion as to whatever your problem is, and then don't want to make changes as we suggest, then you pretty well leave us behind and are free to go about figuring out things on your own. Not being a smart-ass here, just stating the way things are. We've made thousands of burns here and speak from a fairly knowlegeable position. ;)

hmmm.... I have been using this same type of disk for a long time (with no issues).

Just because you have been lucky doesn't mean that the discs are any good. If you do a search here you will find many instances of people having problems with DL media that were corrected by switching to Verbatim discs.

There still could be a problem with your drive but since it did start writing to Layer 1 I believe it is the media. You could try getting another drive but I think the best way to go is to eliminate the media as being the problem. If you continue to have the problem then the drive may be the cause.

There is a firmware update for your drive. It is version 1.0e and it can be downloaded here. You may want to see if that corrects your problem if switching to the Verbatims doesn't.

Fair enough. I will definitely try the Verbatim's. I apologize if it sounded like I was asking questions, only to not believe the answers I was given (that was not my intent). I came here b/c you all are the "professionals". Thank You for the advise everyone.

No worries - we just try to help where we can, I used to use Ritek media for about 18months when I first got into this. Initially they were great and gave hundreds of trouble free burns that still play back glitch free today.

 

A while ago their quality control went out of the window (as spinner stated) and I started to see crap burns with errors and even the ones that burnt ok initially were then problematic some months later.

 

If you want to try and minimise this frustration it's best to get the best quality you can initially :)
