Kev , Have a good one

have you got a .dvd or an .mds file , if so use this as it will set the layer break for you

It doesnt do that . it always asks you to choose a layer break point what i suggest you do with voblanker in the future is make several splits, as IB will ask you which one to use, and some will be better than others suggest you use verbatim discs instead of ricoh ased ones . your looking for verbatim 2.4x Made in Singapore with ID of MKM-001

DJCookieUK your using media differant to the original poster . YOUR using Ricoh based media, and oldfart13 is using verbatim media so untill you try verbatim ( which is what we recommend) its not the exact same problem. BOTH of you should try verbatim 2.4x Made in Singapore with the ID of MKM-001 Oldfart13 post a log file as requested

maybe it needs a Dual layer disc ? post a log file

from your log file E 12:20:53 File size exceeds the limit imposed by the ISO9660 file system. E 12:20:53 Name: C:\Users\John-Charles\Videos\Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang.mkv check out wikipedia especially the section about "Limit on number of directories". an extract from it reads "Nero Burning ROM (for Windows) doesn't check whether the problem occurs, and will produce an invalid ISO file or disk without warning" I dont know if this applicable to your case though, maybe LUK can advise better ?

Hey Cynthia have a GREAT Birthday

why not use it for audio cd's from mp3's ?? it does work

the better ones are the ones made in Singapore , 2.4 speed with MKM-001. (NOT as you wrote it above with indian mkm 001's)

post the FULL log , not just parts that you think are important Chances are its your choice of media . Your using discs with "ricoh" dye/ink . We only recommend Verbatim 2.4x discs for dual layer, with the dye/ink MKM-001 , made in singapore BUT post a full log file and we can see if anything else is amiss

in both logs you had the write speed set to MAX , you could try changing this to 4x and see what happens . it MAY waste another disc, or it "might" even work ,

basically the drive your using cannot read the disc, which is why some drives will verify and others wont OR the disc is dirty and the drive cannot read the disc, but another drive may be able to read it without problem. compare it to people who need reading glasses and those who dont Its all about how good the paticular drive is at reading the type of disc. by type i mean the quality of the ink/dye on the disc

its most likely your discs I 16:24:08 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: RITEK-S04-66) (Speeds: 4x, 6x, 8x) get verbatim 2.4x made in singapore with the ID of MKM-001 ( dont get the ones made in india) you can try setting write speed to 4x with the discs you have left ( you have them set at 1x which isnt a recognised speed with those discs on your burner, or 4 x, which is the slowest write speed for those discs on your burner) go to the manufacturers web sit and see if theres a newer firmware for that drive as well

post a log file from one of those burns, it gives us more info to work with than the error message. chances are its the actual discs you are using but the log will determinethe problem

depends where you live in the world really , give us a clue and someone may be able to advise you where to get them.

in your log and 2 x dvdinfo screens, you had the wreite speed set to MAX , try changing that to 8x or 12x and see what happens. If its an older system it may not be able to keep up with the MAX speed setting. By limiting the top speed, it may help to attain a higher average write rate

The drive managed to write the 1st layer ( layer 0)and even started the 2nd layer ( layer 1 , sector 2077920 and upwards) , it got to 3333503 and couldnt write anymore( which was about 2/3rds of the way thru layer 2) At this point it could not make out sector 3333503 on the disc, probably because of low quality dye/ink on the disc. this is where Verbatim 2.4x MKM001 made in singapore come in , they are the most consistent quality dual layer discs we have found out of all the brands on the market in ; UK, USA,Australia,Brazil,Denmark,Sweden,Germany,Italy, OH, and Liverpool and the Isle of Wight ( Lfcrules when he went on holiday)

Going by the log file you posted, you dont have a DVD burner, only a CD writer/DVD reader. EDIT - a quick google reveals that your TEAC DW 28E drive IS only a combo drive and CANNOT write to DVD, only to CD

YES . change to Verbatim 2.4x discs, the ones made in singapore with the ID of MKM-001. DONT buy the ones made in India, they are not so good as ths singapore ones.

yes, i havent found a laptop writer that is any good yet . they all work for a short time then give up. as recomended a decent external writer is your best bet for long term use. having looked about , the reports on that laptop drive are not brilliant

Problem i have Blu, is that i HATE the courts and the group of people that run them

1 yes, unless you burn them on a disc and watch on a standalone dvd player 2, No, you can mount the image on a virtual drive rather than burn it to a disc 3, No, you can view the contents of an ISO file and extract the contents. If the contents are an avi or xvid file you can convert them to DVD compliant. 4 people choose an .ISO file as it is just 1 file of a whole disc, rather than have say 500 picture files I think your missing what an ISO file actually is . an ISO or .iso file is usually a box,container,package of several files conveniently made into 1 file. it could be a DVD , or a bunch of pics from your camera or a load of mp3 music files, but it will be just 1 large file instead of a list of all the smaller files that make up that image . ( an "image" is a mirror copy of a disc or folder ect ect) . if you have an ISO Image file, its basically 1 large file which is an image ( mirror)copy of something ( something could be a cd a dvd. a hard drive a folder, anything you want really. and all you do is 1 of 3 things either burn it to a suitable size disc mount it on a virtual drive and view it OR mount it in a program like ISOBuster and extract the parts you want then save to your hdd wether you can convert an iso to dvd depends on what is "IN " the iso file . if its video, then yea, use the programs you mention and convert to dvd. if its a bunch of .jpg pictures, then you could make a slide show of the iso, if the iso image is a load of .doc letters, then you CANNOT make these into a dvd . for simplicty , call your iso image "a folder" instead. then whatever type of files you have put in the folder depends what you can and cannot do with them. IF you want to convert your iso/image/folder to VIDEO_TS folder, then as long as you have video content ( avi/xvid/divx) within that iso/image/folder then you CAN convert the it to dvd
