Failed burn (data files to Verb DL DVD-R)

Recommended Posts

Changed to UDF file system because one file is too large for JOILET, but I've burned UDF discs before with no problem.

 

Going to try the obvious - update ImgBurn, check for firmware updates, but is there anything else I should be considering?

I 19:01:12 Destination Media Type: DVD-R DL (Disc ID: MKM 01RD30) (Speeds: 2x, 4x)

You'll have better results using Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x (MKM-001-00 dye) Made in Singapore blanks, as these are better supported by most burners.

Thanks.

 

I've now updated ImgBurn. Drive firmware was already the most current version available.

 

I've burned dozens of DVD+R DL discs in the past with no problems - so it would seem this drive just doesn't like -R DL, threw a strop and reset itself. I still have one Verbatim -R DL left, probably best to try it with a different drive.

OK I tried the other DVD-R DL on another computer (also has a Lite-On drive, but a different - older - model). This time, the actual burn seemed to go OK, but ImgBurn froze at the Synchronising Cache stage and would not cancel (until I physically ejected the disc).

Even though ImgBurn didn't close the track and finalise the disc, I can see the files on there, but haven't yet verified if they are completely intact.

 

DVD-R DL's seem worse than useless

Looks like you were right!
