Statistics with TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223C SB01 Verbatim DVD+R DL x2.4 5 burns -> 5 (all) OK at write speed x2.4 Means Samsung burner is not that bad just needs some good blanks...

OK guys, If you permit me I would like to share my experience that might be useful for other members. I Got the burner firmware updated. Executable model_***.exe (SH-S223C.exe in my case) with firmware did not work, showing message: "Can't find suitable drive for F/W" For other users of Samsung, the work around is to install full live update and run it Link is this: http://www.samsungodd.com/eng/Firmware/FAQ/Faq.asp This works smooth! Also got the drivers updated. Result with disc: (Disc ID: RICOHJPN-D01-67) was the same: Error on layer break. Mean time with new USB DVD-RW burner the same blank discs (same case even) are working just fine (several discs recorded, no fail) Exact info on burn-driver is this: I 22:52:55 -> Drive 3 - Info: SONY DVD RW DRX-S70U DJ07 (G:) (USB) So, I believe that Samsung burn-drive is "severely allergic" on RICOHJPN-D01-67 :-) Verbatim / Sony blank tests are pending tomorrow... Thank you a lot for useful and helpful hints. You are GREAT guys!!! As you sure already know, by now, from comments of other users of your SW. Best regards...

Dear LIGHTNING UK! Thank you very much for your help! It is SATA of the Asus A8V-E SE, could not get update for firmware/ drivers for this. No particular reason to use XP, except that PC is old... Tried Vista did not work well. Never tried Win 7. Time to get better PC I would guess.

Thank you very much! Book type auto was selected like this Book Type: DVD+R DL I thought it was OK since this was the media type, I did not realized I should change it. I will update firmware, get better disks, change book type and report results back. I really appreciate your help.

This topic was rised once but never answered. On some burners while using double layer disk DL mode and setting Layer Break to desired value, the disk gets burned with default half size for 0 layer. Member spudgun Noticed specific ODD burner-drive with this problem TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223C SB01 (D:) (ATA) See http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=13049 I have seen some others as well. Is that bad driver? bad ODD? bad firmware? Any help please... Thank you very much in advance. ==========More details================ Under Win XP SP2, ImgBurn Version 2.5.1.0 In section of log below I note: I 01:50:43 Writing Layer 0...
