[computer will not read dvd in drive]

as you've tried most things now, i think its time to get a new "burner" as your pans are not compatible with your current oven/hotplate

 

in the meantime you could go to KFC to buy ready cooked beans

[computer will not read dvd in drive]

I'm trying to open a can of beans but it appears the cogs have worn out.

 

Anything you can do to help.

 

Also ne1 know why my pen just stopped working.

 

Thanks

 

dear Donta

 

check for firmware updates for your tin openers drive

update to latest version of ImgBurn

failing the above, just stick it in the microwave, it will open the tin eventually

and dont buy the cheap beans from Aldi again ,spend a few pennies more on decent brand named ones in a decent tin, your tin opener wont struggle to deal with these.

 

Oh , and your pen stopped working because you tried to stab the tin of beans open with it

[Layer break position when burning DVD-R DL media in DAO mode ?]

well spotted i didnt make that clear did i . DVD +R DL are the only ones to use

DVD -R DL are about as much use as a chocolate tea pot in the summer

and the verbs for single layer really need to be the ones with MCC dye

[Layer break position when burning DVD-R DL media in DAO mode ?]

2.70 is about 5.5 Us $ so 10 x = 55$US

 

most UK members use svp, as does a few members in other countries . Not giving them a send up, but they are DAMN GOOD

 

so our list of recomendations reads

 

Dual layer VERBATIM ONLY

single layer Taiyo yuden, verbatim

supplier's SVP ( Uk and europe)

[Burning on Mini DVD]

first off, update your firmware, your about 4 versions behind , its up to JYO8 now and your on JY02

 

your connection could still be in doubt as to wether its USB1 or USB2

[Can ImgBurn burn .avi (mpeg) files stored in my pc?]

the guides section springs to mind here

[burning with limewire files]

FYI we dont go a bundle on anything downloaded thats copywrite in here due to legal reasons

[Kevdriver]

Happy Birthday kev , have a good one

[Dual Layer only burns 50%]

it IS your disc's thats the problem, so using cheaper ones is false economy as you waste more than you can make use of.

 

yours are $1.10 each , so 5 coasters plus the 1 successful one have cost $6.60 for 1 disc

 

using verbs will/may give you the odd coaster ( say 1 in 40 odd, or even higher) but more importantly. they will still be readable in 1 years time , you get what you pay for with blank media I'm afraid

[Error messages what does it mean??]

You may find you have to ditch that writer as they are not very good / have caused lots of people issues

 

now i know what the "shit" in "matshita" means

 

seriously Donta right about them causing problems for many people, likewise with HP drives

[I/O Error- Can't Burn DVD's]

chances are that the verbatim's you bought are not MCC dye , which is probably why they wont work . the best bet for verbatims if your not sure is to get the verbatim datalifeplus ones. i think these are all MCC dye

 

HP drives are known for being temperamental with media ( seen many comments in here about them) and temperamental in general , my suggestion to you would be to get a new drive, preferably a well known quality one to replace the HP with

[problem using imgburn]

sounds like you burnt the .mpg to a data disc, when what you should of done is converted the .mpg to a dvd compliant structure first, and then burnt it to disc

[How to put the video files in order]

let s suppose it will resolve the problem of the file in the right order, then i only need to make an iso of the folder containing the video files

 

what about the problem that the files titles are truncated ?

 

thanks

yes ..........as long as you have IB at default settings and follow the guides

 

and

 

check what file system your is using ( ISO9660 and UDF option).

select BUILD Mode> OPTIONS TAB to see

 

and also check ADVANCED TAB>RESTRICTIONS TAB>Folder/file name length.

[Power Calibration Area is full]

i think power calibration is a test that the burner does to work out what degree of power to give the laser to burn the disc .

Should the burner be unable to determine what level of power to use, it means it cant figure out the media thats in the burner.

as per above ,

 

1st change media

2nd use a disc cleaner

3rd change/bin the drive

4th follow the link in the post above

[Device buffer to 0 but I/O cache 100% ?]

I 20:55:27 Average Write Rate: 7.450 KB/s (5.4x) - Maximum Write Rate: 10.256 KB/s (7.4x)

 

This is pretty good for an external writer from a laptop anyway. the laptops hdd I/O speeds are a lot lower than a normal comparative desktop system

[Failed to Write - No Write Current]

Laptop drives have never really been anygood , ive ahd 5 laptop machines over the years and every 1 of them have failed in 1 way or another . The dvd drives are worse than standard cd drives.

your best dvice is to get a decent external burner for starters.

regrading the media your using, refer to Shamus'sssssss comments above

 

it may be worth while changing the write speed from MAX to 2x,or even 1x but again, get an external burner

[Movie Junkie]

a belated Happy Birthday MJ

 

knew there was something i forgot to do , Hope you had a good one ?

[Numerous Bad DVD+R DL Burns]

what happened to my post ?

i dont know, the postman says he put it in your box at 9.15 am today

[Problems with dvd+r DL]

i think you've just been lucky so far with the traxdata disc's , for Dual Layer DV9 disc's the only reliable media is Verbatim , nothing else has the same consistency as verbs .

 

Your error message is "failed to write sectors 2247872-2247903", simply explained, it means the drive cannot find the sectors on the disc that relate to 2247872-2247903, most likely cause is the media is not readable . This problem can be confirmed by trying Verbatim dual layer disc's instead. If its successfully, then stick to verbs for dual layer .

[Disk Not Emnpty]

on a side note

 

is t possible that the disc you used has soemthing on it, or has been used previously for a failed burn ?

[DVD Burn never finishes]

To Volvo: Yes, according to the logs, the media is CMC MAG. AM3. A little googling shows that NO ONE likes this media! I thought buying HP branded media would be safe. Oops.

 

Dont worry Robeo , we've all been there in one way or another regarding poor media.

Recommendations in here are

For single layer DV5 either Taiyo Yuden or Verbatims ( safest is the datalifeplus variants)

For Dual layer DV9 only Verbatim will do

[DVD Burn never finishes]

before i see the log, im going to guess that the media is CMC based, and Lightning_UKs right with

"it's normally a sign that the Drive doesnt like the discs"

 

closely followed by Blutach's

"sometimes 2nd rate stuff can be very hit and miss"

[Failed DVD records]
