Oh d'oh. Silly me. Thanks, I'll try that. Should I keep those burned disks or it'd be better if I try to re-burn them?

Hello. I'm noticing constant miscompare errors when burning. First it was only one per burn, but the last one got like 5. I have no idea what could be causing this, as it never happened before. I re-verified everyone and do not get the miscompare errors again, is that odd? I'm including one of the logs: Should I just ignore it... or is there anything I can do? I really need to burn this things as I need room in my HD. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your help, LIGHTNING UK!! I just did. Apparently everything went well. I wonder why the error though, bad media disc? Just FYI:

Hi! I was just burning an .iso file and got this error while verifying. I don't remember ever getting it before, I'll appreciate any help if possible. Was there a problem while burning or can it be ignored? Or even worse, can there be something wrong with my drive? D: Thanks in advance!

I wasn't able to get Sonys at all, all there is are those Verbatim RITEKF1 or Imation MBI 01RG40: http://a.imageshack.us/img340/8114/75834383.jpg I'll test one now and see how it works out. ETA: Didn't work. http://freetexthost.com/41zvgxv2ju

Thank you very much for your help! I'll media hunting tomorrow to see if I can get those Imation with MCC 03rg20 or some Sonys D21 (I think there are other Sonys that are good, but I can't remember with ones) and see if I can make it work with that. Thanks again!

Thank you, I'll check that forum. One more question, maybe you know. I've checked some of my old discs and I have some Imations that say that are manufactured by Verbatim and their ID reads: MCC 03rg20. Are those the kind of MCC you recommended above? So this might just be a problem with the media and not the burner per se? Anyway, thanks a lot for your help and sorry for the constant quentions.

Yes, thanks. I thought about that but it's too expensive for me. My other option is Sony, are they good enough?

I can't get decent ones because you can't distinguish which one is which until after you bought them and check them with Nero or something similar. They both say Verbatim. I thought these were real/decent Verbatims. They look like this: http://a.imageshack.us/img709/4338/ca5830282enl.jpg I don't have the box because my brother kept it. I've been reading some threads on other boards and apparently most of the Verbatims that are sold in my country were manufactured by RITEK. The 'good' one are manufactures by Mitsubishi Chemical Corp. The problem is that you don't know which one is which until after you bought them... so I think that I'm going to have to switch to Sonys since the Taiyo Yuden ones are not available in my country.

Oh, I see. Thanks for clarifying. My discs say Verbatim, what do you mean they are not Verbatims? Could the be fakes even though they are like a regular Verbatim? I just checked the DVD info with Nero and says that the manufacter is ritek even though they look like Verbatims.

Are Sonys better? That's my other option beside Imation.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. I'm sure how to do the firmware update, but I'll check. The latest version of ImgBurn found an error (W 19:20:32 Duplex Secure's SPTD driver can have a detrimental effect on drive performance) right when I started it, so I went back to the one I've always used. I thought Verbatims were good enough and you can't get better than that over here. Is that or Imations... or Sonys. I never had a problem with them before and I used the same discs with the stuff I've been burning lately and everything was okay.

Hello! I'm new here and I hope it's okay I'm posting this and where I'm posting it... if not I apologize. I've been burning quite a few discs lately, not more than 25 though. This morning I burned one using ImgBurn as I've been doing lately, and everything was okay. Then this afternoon I tried burning an .iso file and got an error while burning. Log: http://freetexthost.com/fqt3exieph (I hosted it so the post wouldn't be too long) I tried burning it again and there was no problem, until the verification started. Log: http://freetexthost.com/oxj13lys1r Then I tried burning another image because I thought the first one might have a problem because I had trouble when I downloaded it. I got the same as the previous one: http://freetexthost.com/5uck36kcjb Beginning to lose my patience, I tried to burn a folder instead of an image. It didn't even work, I got the same problem as the very first one. http://freetexthost.com/xqnavrjw2x I'm using Verbatims. Are the two discs that were burnt okay but failed the verification viable? Or I should leave the data in my hard drive until I can burn it again? I got this burner a year ago and it hasn't been mass-used, so I don't really understand why this is happening. I kind of limited in my knowledge, so I'm a bit reluctant to make some major or any change on my computer if it's needed. Thanks in advance for the help, I appreciate it.
