Thank you... Here are the snapshots of graph data files:

I am sorry, I found this graph file being the first one in the GraphData folder, and I thought this must be the corresponding burn log. I thougt Imgburn automatically saves the Graph Data file I have changed it to incremental, because, Lightning_UK once advised me to do so because all the discs burnt with ImgBurn was failing Data Verification whereas Nero did not have any trouble whatsoever. Is it possible to get the graph data of the above burn anyway? Then I shall be happy to post it here if that helps. Now, I have tried to burn again another Folder in Build+Burn mode, and following is the log:

Oh sorry, when I made this thread, the burning was still underway. Please find the log as follows:

Hello I am using ASUS ASUS DRW 2014L1T burner and authentic Mitsubishi media made by MCC. Why do I get this error: Now it is writing the on the Disc, but does it mean that there is some problems with my burner? The firmware is latest. Please help. Thank you

Thanks for your response blutach. the LiteOn burner is old but the ASUS burner is new. LiteOn is on IDE port whereas ASUS is on SATAII. If I remeber correctly the firmwares are also the latest. Though the LiteOn firmware official release was long back. What confuses me is with the same firmware, the first burn is good but not the others, and this is same for both the drives. :?: Regarding DMA, I have checked your sig (Thanks for the link), but I am bit confused. I have only one IDE porton my motherboard, so I can only add two IDE drives, but there are 4 IDE channels showing in my device manager- two primary two secondary! here are some screen shots, please see if you could help me out... Regarding Firmware, I am unable to find anything newer (checked your sig again). here are the firmware versions as shown by ImgBurn: ASUS DRW-2014L1T 1.02 (ATA) LITE-ON DVDRW SHM-165H6S HS0E (SCSI) See if you could help me out on this.

Atleast I thought so, I may be wrong, and I would be happy to be I meant to say that I do not know any way of writing a data disc keeping session open so that files can be added later... Could someone please comment on the burn qualities? Can these be considered as satisfactory? And can i safely use these Mitsubishi discs?

Hello Recently I got hold of few DVD-R media 16x-1x, which are labeled as Mitsubishi wit their registered logo. I have checked the Disc ID and found it to be same as that of Verbatim's. These discs were given to me by my vendor as Verbatim discs were not available with him at that moment. Anyway, I burnt few of these discs, and did a post-burn analysis. The quality seems to be >=98%. I have also got hold of some discs labeled as "Verbatim" and burnt those too. I found the quality to be same. Here are two screen shots of PIPO scanning. All these discs were burnt using 8x speed. As ImgBurn can not be used for Data burning, for all these discs I have used NERO 8. My question is: Are these two discs same? Because I never knew that Mitsubishi makes or markets blank DVDs in their own brand name! Discs branded as Mitsubishi Data type: Image file (ISO) of a video discs Burner: LITEON DVDRW SHM 165H6S Burner: ASUS DRW 2014L1T Data Type: ISO file created with ImgBurn. Burn speed 8x Discs branded as Verbatim Data type: Data DVD, AVI videos Burner: ASUS SATA DRW 2014L1T Burner: LITEON DVDRW SHM 165H6S Please clear my doubt, 'cause if both are same, then I shall continue buying Mitsubishi DVDs without much worries.

Ok, here is a little update, The error displayed in the Log of ImgBurn is not because of Disc Quality, it was because of my ODD. The burner was faulty and I got it replaced from ASUS.

The LITE ON is always plugged in my IDE port. I just bought the ASUS SATA Drive and plugged in the SATA port.

Sorry can not check that... I do not have access to any other computer. What exactly do you mean by pressed DVDs?

Thanks blutach Well the drive is new and it is connected to the Motherboard's SATA port. Rest I am not really sure of.

Nope it can not

But it seems that the drive is unable to read any discs,even those which are playing fine in my IDE LITE ON Burner!

Hello Here are the details of my system: OS: Windows XP Pro SP3 Motherboard: ASUS P5B-VM HDDs: 3 in number, 1 IDE, 2 SATA II with JMicron SATA controller Optical Drives: IDE: LITE ON DVDRW SHM-165H6S SATA: ASUS DRW-2014L1T As I tried to Build+Burn with ImgBurn, I get an error. Please find the details in the log. Now I also find that my ASUS drive, though being recognized by Windows, neither can read or write anything. Its a brand new drive, not even a month old. Thefirmwire of this drive updated to the latest 1.02 version.

Thank you cornholio7

Thanks... I mean the quality of the burner...not the media. but how do I interpret the report? Any idea?!!

Hello I have recently bought a new ASUS LightScribe enable DVD writer. Is it possible to test the quality of the drive? Thank you.

Thank you Cynthia

Thank you I shall surely try the Incremental type in ImgBurn, but how do I change that in ImgBurn? Secondly, can I check this out in Build Mode?

Hello LIGHTNING_UK I thought that NERO is also using DAO mode, so to confirm that I wanted to show you log. Anyway here is the screen shot of the burn setting in NERO, which appears to be using DAO mode Thanks for replying

Will it be helpful if I post a NERO Burn log of the last burn? (Though I do not know where exactly is the log, as I honestly do not use NERO, I generally use CDBurner XP- another free tool, for other burning jobs which ImgBurn do not handle).

Hello LIGHTNING UK! Here is a little update that you may find interesting (and hence the reason for digging up this thread). After my last post in this thread, i have tried the 8x speed and (very unfortunately to my utter dismay) ImgBurn failed again. Now to check out whether the problem is lying with my drive, I (very reluctantly) switched to NERO ver 6.0, and for the first time in my life burnt a DVD using NERO Burning ROM. I tested both 6x and 8x speeds using blank DVDs from the same spindle which failed in ImgBurn. I continued testing till date and not a single time the Data Verification in NERO failed (till date)!! I hope you understand that I have no intention to promote NERO here, but I would like to draw your attention to this 'test results' of mine- in case that reveals a small bug which may be hiding somewhere inside the ImgBurn code, which a non programmer like me can never discover. Thank you again for developing ImgBurn

Hello Lightning_UK Here is an update, According to your advice I have changed the speed to 8x and the verification went quite smoothly, without a single hitch. Then to confirm, I burnt another disc (from the same spindle) with 6x speed and the error regarding verification error occurred again. Here is the log of the failure and of successful burn.

I believe the drive is still under warranty, I'll check it ASAP... Thanks very much for all your help, and a special thanks for gifting us ImgBurn
