Hi, I've bought some DVD+R Verbatim discs and they seem to now work fine. Any idea why the Verbatim DVD-R discs may have been working fine previously and are now not working at all? Would be down to any settings on the laptop?

This is my thread and I'm still no clearer on the problem. I've just used ConvertXtoDVD last night to burn another film onto Kodak disks, so surely its not a problem with the burner? I've just ordered some cleaning fluid, so maybe that will help, but again surely wouldn't burn films if problems were with the drive? My next try is to see whether the disks (Verbatim) I've been using for games work ok for films? Anyone any better ideas?

Where's the best place to get the disc cleaner? And where/how do I get the firmware update? Would it be better to reduce to 2x speed?

Have you tried the other available burn speeds? Try a lens cleaner disc on that burner. Also check with the laptop manufacturer if there are firmware updates available for your burner. Where are your Verbatim blanks made? It's written on the packaging. Haven't changed the burn speed recently because it always worked in the past and just seems to have stopped! Verbatim blanks made in Taiwan.

Thanks, but the error message I mentioned showed before I even tried to burn, it didn't allow me to get that far. Here's the last log showing more than that one I just included... //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.2.0.0 - Log ; Wednesday, 28 January 2009, 21:21:21 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 21:11:09 ImgBurn Version 2.2.0.0 started!

Hi, I am a non-techie and would like some help with burning problems I have recently been experiencing. I have been able to burn back-up Wii games using ImgBurn and Verbatim DVD-R disks without any problems. However, all of a sudden I am getting error messages. I open up ImgBurn, but in the blank disk and then after the drive whirrs away, it eventually comes back with an error "Tracking Servo Failure". Having read some blogs they say its because of the poor quality disks, but then some say Verbatim are the best and this again doesn't seem to ring true as I've been able to burn others previously. I'm concerned that it may be to do with the drive? But then again, I've since backed up a movie successfully. May it be to do with the fact that I have had limited space on my drive, or if not, please advise with some other ideas? And non-technical advice please. Thanks.
