I need help burning dual layer media

[johnnydanger]

Hi everyone. Ive used Imgburn for 10 dual layer discs out of a 15 pack. All the sudden last 3 have been coasters. The DVD im trying to burn gets to 51% then I get stops and I get an error. Im using Memorex DVD+R DL discs. I know these are not the most high quality discs, but I have not had a problem with them in the past. I would get some Verbatim DVDs if I could, but no one ever has them in stock locally. Anyways, heres the log that it posts.

 

The error says:

 

"I/O Error!

I 21:33:20 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: RITEK-S04-66) (Speeds: 4x, 6x, 8x)

It writes at 4x because that's the slowest speed supported by your burner/firmware/media combination. You could try at 6x or 8x but I doubt it'll work.

 

You'd have much better results with Verbatim 2.4x blanks. Or, if you still want to use those blanks, you should look for a new burner that can handle them

Thanks for the info. What I dont understand is that Ive burned about 10 discs from the same pack with the same burner and firmware with no problems to date. Ranging from backups, to home made movies, all dual layer and none have had any problems. I just cant figure out why all the sudden it stopped working. Im going to try to find somewhere that have Verbatims. The only downside is that the only place locally that I can find them is selling them in 20 packs, and Verbatims are not exactly cheap. Im hoping to find someone I know who has some and can just let me have one to check. I will try and report back if I need more help.

The old suggestion.

 

If it had worked before - try a cleaning disc in your burner.

I hadnt thought of that. I will try. Thanks.
