Have installed 2.5.0.0 and are now unable to cut Verbatim 8x DVD+R DL discs

 

when I load them I get either

disk not empty

or disc drive just keeps on going

 

with 2.4.4.0 I had no problems at all

 

using HT-DT-DT DVD+-RW GSA H31N

 

works on all types of single layer.

 

Have I missed a trick on any settings

 

Be grateful for any advice

 

Regards

Phil

If that Disc ID is correct, it's not a DL disc.

 

Either way, your drive is returning bogus info for the media. It's saying 'Unknown' for stuff it should easily support and reporting the wrong 'Current Profile' for it too.

Update your burner's firmware (remove any disc and close the tray before updating then reboot after it's finished). Does it help with your problem? If you can please post the Information again :)

I have gone thru the remaning discs on my tub.

2 were OK now 1 shows Disc Not Empty & 1 shows Device Not Ready(Medium Not Present)

1 showed Device Not Ready(Logical Unit becoming ready) - but never did anything else

8 showed Disc Not Empty

4 showed Device Not Ready(Medium Not Present)

 

Do I assume all these are duff? or does the drive need a clean?

You could try a lens cleaning disc just for kicks, but I think your burner is defective and needs replacement :unsure:

Will get a lens cleaning kit and see what happens.

 

Can I get a copy of 2.4.4.0 from you and see if the writer is still giving same problems.

(It all seemed to be working fine until I installed 2.5.0.0)

We don't support versions before 2.5.0.0 :huh:

 

ImgBurn shows what the burner reports and this hasn't changed in the new version.
