I/O Error....Condition: Invalid Address for Write

[JMezzy69]

I am trying to burn an Dual Layer disc from a file and every time I attempt to burn it I get an I/O error right around 50%...I have even downloaded this program on another computer and tried burning the file on there but I still recieve the same error....Here is my log:

 

I 15:33:39 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started!

I 15:33:39 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 3)

That machine has serious buffer issues.

 

What is your F:\ drive? Is it the slowest performing device known to mankind?

 

If your drives can't handle 'RITEK-S04-66' discs, don't use them.

The alternative is to buy a new drive that does like them.

My drive on both computers actually happens to be the same...the "HP dvd writer 840b" drive

 

But my F:\ drive is actually a Western Digital 500GB MyBook external hard drive...that is where i am getting the file off of....and my usb 2.0 ports on this computer dont seem to be working so that could be the reason for the slow speeds

Ritek media is crap. It's been crap for the past 5 years and will likely continue to be crap for another 5. Click L_UKs link above and revel in the bounty of information that it contains.

what of my media is "Ritek" like you're talking about? I am using Memorex Cd's...are those what you are talking about or what?

Sorry i'm a noob

Memorex might be the 'brand' name stamped on the disc but they're using the RITEK dye.

 

I 15:35:06 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: RITEK-S04-66) (Speeds: 4x)

o ok...so if i pick up some Verbatim Disks then it should work fine?

Until you actually try, nobody can say for sure.

 

There's certainly more chance of those working than the Riteks though.

 

Of course the other option is to buy a new drive that *can* burn the ritek discs ok.
