kschwi Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Hi, I had my My Toshiba DVD player/burner for 6 months now and have no problems up until this week. I regularly DVR items on my DISH receiver and then play them while burning them onto a DVD-R using my Toshiba DVD Burner. The last 2 times I've done this I have gotten an error telling me I cannot record to this disk at around the 1:50 minute mark. I usually get 2 hours to 2 hours and 10 minutes on a blank DVD-R. I know it could be the blank Sony DVD-Rs I am using, but could it be a problem with my Toshiba unit? The program did burn the 1:50 minutes but was just a few minutes short of complete. Any thoughts?

LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 All you can do is try some other discs. Get some Verbatim DVD+R's or some Taiyo Yuden DVD-R's instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other odd thing is that the disks are then unable to be finalized nor can I delete any of the titles. Is there any way to fix this? It seems a waste to toss a disk with an 1:50 minutes of stuff on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kschwi Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 -r or +r write once NO Thanks. So I'm guessing if I can't finalize it maybe it is the disk not the DVD recorder? The next 2 shows I recored was only 90 minutes and I had no problems at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blutach Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 You can try to make an ISO with ISOPuzzle. This assumes the TOC can at least be read. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
