  1. Thanks. I bought a commercial copy of the film and DVDFab was unable to burn a DVD-R disc. I didn't bother with trying it with ImgBurn, since I had the same problem with it as DVDFab. I remain mystified. I guess perhaps I should at least try the Verbatim drive, but I have already tried two different drives. Perhaps it is something in my computer since that is the other thing that is the same more or less as the discs and the file, although as I said, my previous computer also had no problems with this batch of discs.
  2. Thanks. I guess $40 isn't much, but I'm becoming superstitious about this whole thing in view of the fact that I didn't have problems previously with the same discs and the same burner as well as a different burner with the same discs. i ordered a commercial copy of the film, "Groundhog Day", for $5, so just for the heck of it, I will make a new ISO with DVDFab and see what happens when I try to burn it before I buy a new drive. Did you ever see "Poltergeist"? Maybe that's my problem? 😘
  3. Thanks. No, I don't as yet need to burn BDs. When I buy a new computer, I'm going to say good bye to optical drives forever, I hope other than playing my existing discs with an external player.
  4. Thanks again. Storing data on external HDDs sounds good, especially when large SSDs are getting cheaper and cheaper. I guess I was just trying to avoid the hassle of re-installation. I guess I could make an image of the new PC, try laplink and go back if it doesn't work. They say the migration can be file based or image based.
  5. Got it. While I have your attention, I'm thinking about a new computer since my current one is not compatible with Windows 11. This Dell has Windows 11 pro and some other good-looking features: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NX3RTT7 Also, have you ever used laplink to migrate to a new computer? They say it is compatible with Win 11, even when going from Win 10 home to Win 11 pro. Do you buy extended service plans? Thanks again for so much of your time.
  6. No, no problems at all. Now that you mention it, I remember seeing TSST as the descriptor in the little "save to" drop-down list in DVDFab when burning to disc. The new AZO discs should arrive today, so I'll see what happens. At least they are only around $5 for a 10 pack...
  7. One was for sale here: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/toshiba-satellite-c55d-b5308-c55t-c55-1792314796?popular The photo is upside down, but it seems to say "DVD Writer Model SU208" and I have no idea, of course if this was the exact drive in my Toshiba. Better photo here: https://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Satellite-C55D-C-Optical-Replacement/dp/B076DD2MG6
  8. I gave it away so long ago, that I can't even remember to whom I gave it. Maybe the local charter school.
  9. If you mean the old one, this is all that comes up with a Google search: "DVD SuperMulti drive supporting 11 formats"
  10. My old laptop was a Toshiba Satellite C55D-B5308 15.6-Inch Laptop (AMD E1-Series, 4GB Memory, 500GB Hard Drive) that I bought in 2015.
  11. Thanks for your time. I'm not sure I can find a USB 3.x cable for this drive. It's a bit old. What's mystifying is that I've been burning ISO files to discs from this same package of discs using the internal burner of my previous laptop as well as this laptop for 5 years and this is the first time either one failed multiple times using both DVDFab and ImgBurn. I only tried the external drive because the internal drive failed to write the ISO file. I guess I need to move my parents into the 21st century by educating them about USB and I guess computers in general.
  12. Hello all, I am trying to burn a .iso file for an elderly friend with no computer just a DVD player to verbatim DVD-R discs without success. ImageBurn gets to within 80-90% and then gives write errors: 10:54:05 Failed to Write Sectors 2113920 - 2113951 - Reason: Unknown (Internal Target Failure) (ASC: 0x44, ASCQ: 0xA9) This keeps happening on two different DVD burners, one in my laptop and one external drive. The internal drive is a Slimtype Prod_DVD_A__DA8AESH and the external drive is a Pioneer BD/DVD/CD burner. My computer is an Acer Aspire E5-575G with an Intel Core i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz 2.40 GHz 8GB RAM. Edition Windows 10 Home Version 21H1 Installed on ‎10/‎17/‎2020 OS build 19043.1526 The fact that it happens in two different burners makes me think it is the discs, but they are only 5 years old which many sources say should still be fine. I've ordered a small, new package of the same discs, but AZO to try. In the meantime, any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks. ImgBurn.log
