Yeah, I suppose some discs are just Defective from factory no matter how good the Brand is you're bound to get 4-5 defective discs out of 100's or so...

OK, I did the 3 task that you suggested before and the Drive did someting with no error messages and it went to standby again...

OK, do we do that in Write Mode ? cause I tried that in Write Mode and it says "Error Disc Not Empty" and nothing happens !!!

OK, here are the info's from the Read mode, hope it helps ; PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-216 1.09 (ATAPI) Current Profile: DVD+R Disc Information: Status: Incomplete Erasable: No Sessions: 1 Disc Control Blocks Information: PIONEER DVR-216 Physical Format Information (ADIP): Disc ID: MCC-004-00 Book Type: DVD+R Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 1 Track Path: Parallel Track Path (PTP) Linear Density: 0.267 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196.608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 2.491.711 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 0 Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Disc ID: MCC-004-00 Book Type: DVD+R Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 1 Track Path: Parallel Track Path (PTP) Linear Density: 0.267 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196.608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 2.491.711 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 0

http://www.chips.navy.mil/archives/97_oct/file9.htm Hi Cynthia, Thanks for that info but I never had any Buffer Underrun before, the DVR-216BK has a 2mb internal memory and the PC has 4GB memory. I don't use the PC for anything while burning cause usually burning only takes up about 10-12 mins time. But YES, I did observe that while burning this particular disc the Buffer levels sure did go crazy and usually it ramins stable at 100%. The question is, Why did the buffers jump around ONLY on this particular disc ? I burned the same file to another MCC-004-00 disc (after this failed session) and NO PROBLEMS and the buffers remained at 100% as usual !!! These are GOOD QUALITY MEDIA a MITSUBISHI DVD+R 16x (MCC-004-00) and it shouldn't be having these kinds of problems...

Hi UK, OK I copy + paste the Disc Info panel data's here ; PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-216 1.09 (ATAPI) Current Profile: DVD+R Disc Information: Status: Incomplete Erasable: No Sessions: 1 Supported Write Speeds: 4x; 6x; 8x; 12x; 16x Disc Control Blocks Information: PIONEER DVR-216 Physical Format Information (ADIP): Disc ID: MCC-004-00 Book Type: DVD+R Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 1 Track Path: Parallel Track Path (PTP) Linear Density: 0.267 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196.608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 2.491.711 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 0 Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Disc ID: MCC-004-00 Book Type: DVD+R Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 1 Track Path: Parallel Track Path (PTP) Linear Density: 0.267 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196.608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 2.491.711 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 0 I did burn few other discs after this one and they all burned just fine. Any idea why its like that ?

Hi Guys, I've burnt hundreds of MCC-004-00 media with Imgburn Ver. 2.4.2.0 AND NOT A SINGLE COASTER was ever made. Today I had 4 Coasters with this message "Session Fixation Error - Incomplete Track in Session". I've never changed any setting on the Imgburn and the media is still the same MCC-004-00. Here is a LOG of one of the COASTER ; I 03:38:11 Operation Started!

Hi LUK, The problem is GONE and for the past one week it never returned. I think it was something to do with the SATA Cables, I plugged out the cables and cleaned it up (and the contacts too) and plugged it in again. Now everything is back to normal again. Good Reliable Imgburn... :) One thing I've been wanting to ask you is when we burn 2 disc using 2 burners at the same time (I've got another new burner a DVR-216BK) at 8x speed the burn process is FINE but the verification process is rather SLOW and sometimes at 2x - 3x verification speed. Besides this even the verification GRAPH looks CHOPPY but when I verify the disc one at a time the GRAPH is just fine as usual. I have 4GB memory in my system, would an increase in the ImgBurn BUFFER to 512mb solve this issue cause currently it's set at 40mb only. Please kindly give me your thoughts on this matter...

I'll do that Buddy just as soon as the same error occurs... Since yesterday I've burned 10 DVD+R DL's with no problems at all. As I've said before that this problem only happens intermittently... Once the problem happens I'll cut and paste the Log File here...

I've recently encountered a strange problem with my DVD Burner (Pioneer DVR-212BK) which NEVER happened before. I'm sure that it's not a problem with imgburn cause I've been burning DVD's (more than 600 dvd's) using imgburn with this Burner before without a single problem and always PERFECT burns. God Bless You for making such a good software (imgburn) Sir... smile.gif The problem started a few days ago when the burner would just STOP working while reading or verifying with imgburn. It will complete the burn PERFECTLY but when it's in the verifying process the Burner would just Turn Off/Lock's Up after 25% or some times 92% of verifying process and I cant even eject the disc and had to FORCE REBOOT the PC to release the Burner so that I can eject it. I verified the burned disc with my other Burner (which is an LG) and it was OK no problems. So, it seems that the problem intermittently occurs just while Reading or Verifying the discs. I really have NO CLUES at all why this is so as everything used to be just fine until a few days ago. Can any one please kindly shed some light on this please as I'm really running out of Ideas now.
