dvdburn0r Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I am trying to burn a .iso of a dvd backup but it gets stuck just after the lead-in when it says "writing image" it will say writing at 0.0x and just get stuck, i left it writing for a hour but there was no progress.i accidentally deleted the log when i was reinstalling imgburn, i have a Sony DVD RW DW-G120A with MYR4 firmware with TDK-003-00 media at 2.4x speed (i tried 6.x speed but that didnt work either).

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Ok so going by your posts, you say you've tried it at 6x and 2.4x. 2.4x isn't a supported speed hence it's really 6x all over again. Have you actually it at the rated 16x (or even 12x) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdburn0r Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 i haven't tried it at the 16x (or 12x), should i burn another disc at that speed and see what happens? i don't wanna waste another disc though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I can't really see as you have any choice. If it fails again, they might aswell all be classed as coasters anyway - your drive seems to have problems with them and you'll need to buy some better ones (Verbatim / Taiyo Yuden).

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 That drive is really not up the to job of burning those discs properly (note the 1x, 2.4x write speeds), it's probably using a default write stratagy and producing a disc of questionable quality. That said, if it works, at least the spindle isn't totally useless. You'll just need other discs if you want to burn on your Sony drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewy Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 So instead of having your dvd burners share a cable, you have them share with your hard drives? I never had much luck with anything sharing, but dvd burners that were never used at the same time. My hard drives and dvd burners are always being used at the same time and they never share a cable.
