    Burns too Fast!

    in ImgBurn Support

    Posted

    Im going to assume you want to burn at slow speeds because you've heard the old one about burning games as slowly as possible to get a good disc , well thats a myth .

    Its quite safe to burn at 4x upwards with a decent PC .Yours appears to be a decent PC with 1gb ram, win xp SP2,decent burner, (unless your using a USB1 connection which cannot supply data fast enough to the burner , but yours looks like an internal burner anyway so you have no problems with dataflow) .

     

    i wouldnt go above 8x myself, even if you have the capability of burning at 16x . burning at 8x is reliable .

     

    Like chewy asked, what are you watching it on/with ( standalone player, PC with which software ,ect ect ??) to be able to say its "horrible playback" ?? I cant see its burn speed related as the following info is from your log

    I 19:36:20 Average Write Rate: 7,779 KB/s (5.6x) - Maximum [/color]Write Rate: 8,529 KB/s (6.2x)

    which is as slow as you can burn with that media and as mentioned earlier, it was a sucsessfull burn .

     

    ImgBurn only burns what you give it, so what goes in = what comes out . unless whatever you played it back on doesnt like those discs, the only other thing is low quality in = low quality out. OR if you've eddited the original file in any way shape or form ( compressed it maybe) then a problem could lye within the edditing/alteration process of the file( what goes into IB is what comes out, all IB does is burn the Image its told to)

     

    Your using +R media , have you tried -R media as well ?

    Memorex and Sony DVD+R DL Problems

    oh dear , you couldn wait could you, despite this reply HERE

     

    I decided to purchase the more expensive Sony DVD+R DL's there figuring there would be no way I would have any problems with these,

    you figured wrong :rolleyes:

     

    VERBATIM , VERBATIM ,VERBATIM and NOTHING else :thumbup: now do you get the message ??

     

    your drive does not like those discs you bought , thats what the error is telling you. its struggling to even read them , at least you only have 15 of these as opposed to 25 of the matrix ones you had

    DL Burning Stops Halfway Through!

    I would definitely recommend this brand, especially since a 25 pack only costs about $25.

     

     

    No No No No No No No No No No , DONT RECOMEND these discs, although they worked for you on this occasion , but there's every chance they wont work when you get the next batch, or may even become unreadable as timegoes on

     

    This is why EVERYBODY in here recomends verbatim for dual layer and nothing else. they are the only consistent media for dual layer.

    Ive posted this for the benefit of anyone else who searches the forum regarding dual layer media

    Need Reliable Drive/Media setup

    in ImgBurn Support

    I have a Samsung SH-S182M and I've tried 2 different DL discs and have failed every time! I've only had luck with single-layer Verbatim DVD+R 8x (lightscribe).

     

    Here's what I have tried:

     

    Single Layer:

     

    Verbatim DVD+R 8x (lightscribe) - WORKS

     

    Dual Layer

     

    HP DVD+R DL 2.4x (CMC MAG-D01-00) - FAILED

    Verbatim DVD-R DL 2x-4x (MKM 01RD30) - FAILED

     

    I started out with the HP discs first and, when it started failing, I updated the firmware. That didn't solve anything. I've checked a review (http://www.extrememhz.com/shs182m-p7.shtml) of that drive and it says that it only likes -R DL media. So, I searched online and bought the Verbatim DVD-R DL 2x-4x discs. They all fail. I usually don't even get an error about it. It usually just says that the burn was sucessful and then the media just appears blank (is there data on it?). Using verify shows that they failed.

     

    If there are no good DL discs for that drive, then is there a drive that can actually write to a specific type of DL? I just want to be able to burn DL discs for clients and for backup purposes.

     

    If I need to go with only single-layer discs, what's the fastest and most reliable media for my drive?

     

    several things

     

    the drive you mention is NOT limited to -R dual layer media.

     

    Quote from the link you gave " What most will be happy to know is that the SH-S182M does support bit-setting and you can set Nero (spit) to automatically set the booktype to DVD-ROM prior to burning +R media."

     

    so you CAN use +R dual layer media

     

    the first dual layer disc you used HP DVD+R DL 2.4x (CMC MAG-D01-00) was just a low quality one, which is more than likely why it wouldnt work

     

    go for the verbatim +R dual layer and write at 2 or 4 speed .

     

    post a full log of a burn with normal single layer discs for us, and we may be able to help you a bit more

     

    most multi frive burners will happily write to single or dual layer media,

     

    most drives will happily write to taiyo yuden 8x or verbatim single layer discs

    likewise, most dual layer drives will write to verbatim datalife +R dual layer media as well

    Wont work!

    Don't think we're telling you to use Verbatim DVD+R DL discs just to be talking. I am sure many of us have experienced problems with junk media. We have all found out, through testing and use, that the Verbs are the only way to go.

    Confirmation of that fact is to look at the writing after a posters post ( their signature) :thumbup:

    Wont work!

    just leave ImgBurn at default settings

     

    if you want Data files on the disc, just use build mode and select files then burn

     

    if you want DVD files on the disc, as long as they are in dvd compliant file format , ImgBurn will recognise this and burn as a dvd

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    (Please don't tell me my discs are bad quality =( )

    PS. One more thing. I was told that I should use the DVD-ROM Book Type mode for this particular ISO. So I changed the mode of DVD+R in the LG menu (Yes, my drive is LG) to DVD-ROM and clicked Change. Could that be the problem or should I have done something else as well to change the book type?

     

    i wont tell you your media is bad quality :hide: , but check out this list and find a reputable reliable manufacturer within it

    http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia?dvdmediasearch

     

    is it ONLY with this media you get the problem ? or si it with ALL brands of media ?

     

    update your firmware as well, your on A101, the latest for that drive is A106 , your 5 updates behind !!

    I 22:28:51 Destination Device: [0:2:0] HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B A101 (D:) (ATA)

     

    EDIT Donta beat me to it LOL

    as per LUK's post above ,

    Matshita dont make what you call a "good" drive . theres several mentions of matshita drives on the forum, and none of them are good i'm afraid .

    go for the external approach like LUK mentioned

    iso-files are mds-files?

    if you ARE using FAT32 file system, then carry on as you are, ut point to the MDS file when you come to burn it.

     

    simplified, the MDS ,in effect, IS the "ISO" ,which points to all the parts ( i00,i01,i02 ect ect) and burns them in the right orderit in the right order. you MUST keep the MDS and all the parts in the same directory though for it to work sucsessfully
