Poefue

I guess I'm going to have to. I tried one more time with a backup that I burnt before and boom, fails at 11% like all the rest do.

Ok I updated my firm ware and try to burn a backup that I know that works and here is what I've got for the 5th time. I was using a crappy media called melody before and had no problems from it and I thought I would upgrade to Verbatim DVD+R DL but I have unsuccessfully burned a backup with Verbatim yet. Here is my log. I 06:00:37 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!

Any idea what it could be. I know my drive can burn Dual layer as I have done a few on it. It's just making me sad cause I got 5 verbatim coasters now, lol. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that link MMALVES, I'm downloading it now and hope it helps me out, I've lost 4 verbatims in a row and want to cry now.

Ok I found the answer to my own question. It's made by Samsung. I'm going to do a test and burn Crackdown to Verbatim DVD+R DL and see how it goes. I'm having a bad feeling about it though because when I go to set my Book Type and pick Samsung and Pick DVD+R DL the settings says Unknown even when I hit the refresh button. Any reason for that. I will let you guys know how my burn goes and if it goes bad I will post my log, thanks again.

Hello all. I'm sorda new at burning so this question might be newbish. I was using DVD decrypter to do my 360 backups and did about 10 successful till I read that Imgburn was the best. So I download IMGBurn and do a burn of oblivion, stops at 11% and says incompatiable media. I try a 2nd and 3rd time same error so I stop as I wasted a few bucks. I read the forums alittle and saw I had to set my booktyping, I go to click the book but I do not see my drive listed. Here is what ImgBurn says my drive is in Destination, I guess my question is when I click on Change Book Type, which of the drives should I pick. I know my drive can burn backups because I burnt a few so far. I have a Dell XPS M1710 if that helps anybody out. As far as just setting the book type to dvd+r dl, is there anything else I need to change, say laybreak like in DVDDecrypter? Thanks in advance guys!!
