Now that would be funny.

BIG BIG difference, data transfer speed to mention one of many.

Same same, as the boss said, PgcEdit is the one to use for DL burns.

Lol, the only thing that burnt successfully were the CMC's, sorry treb, in house joke. Is your usb connection 2? And only supported speeds of 2.4x max? I'd say your drive / firmware don't like any of those discs. And no, there should be no difference between burning an image or data.

4,666,806,272 bytes converts to 4450.61MB or 4.34GB, nothing has realy "grown". Just different reporting formats. Bytes / KB / MB / GB.

Thanks.

Don't feel bad about it, we all have to start somewhere. And as far not seeing the disc, there was nothing to see.

I'm still not clear, is this a ROM drive only? As it can only READ discs, not burn them? When you say you "put it back in", are you talking about a blank disc? It just sounds like that you do not have burner, just a reader.

We need some more info, like your destination: what type of drive have you got? What are you trying to burn? Have ever burnt anything with this drive before? Etc. Etc.

Why is that boss? Is it because CD's don't have that info in the media management area like DVD's? Or you just didn't cater for it as far CD's are concerned.

Ok boss, what is in his post that it tells you it's a Dell? Photodex?

You could just network it to your PC if it has a network card, depends how old this thing is. And of course you need to hook it up to a monitor in order to see what's going on, (as per spinners post) most laptops will give you the second display by pressing Fnc + F2, but again it depends how old this thing is.

There is no doubt that when drive / firmware / media all "match up" everything works as it should. Glad you sorted it out.

Why? Can't you just tell me what's wrong?

Unfortunatly this is the best we can do.

Oh dear.

Thanks Kenadjian. I wasn't aware of that. Your info i highly appreciated. Thanks again. You're welcome.

Thanks mate, not having one (Camcorder) I wasn't aware of that, I wonder why so big? 13Gb for an hour of film is just huge.

No argument from me on this point.

Bloody big camcorder volvo 18gig? That's fookin huge, well over twice the size of a full blown commercial DVD9.

As said above, your drive is what's called a combo drive, it is NOT capable of BURNING DVD's, it can only read them, it is ONLY a CD BURNER.

Can we have the log from the failed burn?

Any chance you can try another one and post the log. It is very difficult for us to try to work out what's going on without a log. What did you copy it with to end up with an IMG file?

The whole thing looks up the shit. Why don't you try a burn with ImgBurn and post the log, maybe then we can help you.

Great, we all know what the problem was now.
