databurner

mmalves ,I did it but why if I choose DVD-ROM as booktype in imgburn and go out of the settings and come back and choose dvd+r dl, it says settings unknown ? update: Tried burning and got this while verifying : Failed to read Sector 500134 Reason - Logical Unit Communication Parity Error plz anybody can help ? Update: I tried verfiying using my old burner which is IDE burner and it was succesfull !! It seems that the message has something to do with the slow connection type I had SATA/USB because the verifying went to 10X on my IDE burner so maybe it was trying to speed up but USB couldnt handle the speed. Thanks Lightning UK & mmalves

The shop with Sony was closed I wasn't sure if I will find the same model I found last time. I ended up buying Samsung SH-S223F / RSBS F/W: SB02 I hope it is good as I read on cdrinfo

Thanks for the reply mmalves, I want to use the drive to burn xbox360 images , do I need DVD-RAM support ?

I have no clue what does that mean, should I be looking for the A ? what SATA drive do you recommend in general ? Where I live there is no pioneer or Asus or plextor, only some Samsung, LG, Lite on.... New: I just checked Lite on (iHAS324-32 A) on cdrinfo , they didn't like the burning and said Optiarc is better ? I found out the 32A from the pictures. On clubmyce they classifying the drive based on the number: So 32 is Optiarc now ????? So what is the truth ? and what version is the best ? I found out that a store here has Sony(oem) (he calls it Sony) and I found out that a couple of months ago he was selling (I wrote it on his buissness card last time) AD-5240S I guess that Optiarc ?? I also found LG GH22NP20 I want to go grab one today and start burning DL, Can somebody help here plz ??? update: later in the thread they realized that there are 32A & 32Y and according to cdrinfo 32A is not good and they say Optiarc is better , they are refering to Optiarc AD7240S but I don't have that here so whats my best choice? LG GH22NP20 Lite on iHAS324-32A Sony? AD5240S

Great ! I only was able to find one LG model in IDE (GH22NP20) , but its not famous, I will go for the lite on SATA (iHAS324-23y) with the cables. Thanks

will I face problems using a SATA to USB to connect an internal DVD burner to burn DLs ? Anybody tried this before ?

hey mmalves ! it worked last time on 4x , and I did cleaning manually last time (week or so) , I don't have a cleaning CD , is cleaning necessary every time ?? I wish it failed every time , it would be easier to know whats wrong ! I would just replace the burner .

Can you merge ? sorry , I actually prefer to use the old one, I just thought I should open new one , complete opposite

Thanks mmalves for answering and explaining I will give it another try on 6X or 8X with different Image after cleaning it , if it fails I will go find a new burner Regards

hi thx for replying 1.have you seen cases where higher speed was better ? 2.Isn't there a chance the the image is the problem ? I don't want to go buy new burner to find out it is was for nothing, I have no problem buying new one, its already costing me , but I just would like to know what is happening
