DarkKnighT Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Hi guys,i have a problem. I own a LG GSA-2164D,and i want to burn an xbox360 backup on a verbatim DVD+R Double Layer (i have the original copy ).the problem is that when i insert the dvd,imgburn says for a few seconds "in progress of becoming ready",and than says "'medium not present".I've seen another simlar 3d in this forum but nothing worked for me. I've successfully burned cds and dvds with this external ,but it won't read double layers!!!!!! Thanks for helping me ps the little log I 12:19:21 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!I 12:19:21 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 2)I 12:19:21 Total Physical Memory: 1.179.120 KB - Available: 575.180 KBW 12:19:21 SPTD can have a detrimental effect on drive performance.I 12:19:21 Initialising SPTI...I 12:19:21 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices...I 12:19:22 Found 1 CD-ROM, 1 CD-RW, 2 DVD-ROMs and 1 DVD
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 That's a pretty old drive now (latest firmware from 2006) and probably won't support the 8x Verbatims (MKM-003-00 dye). Try to find the 2.4x ones (MKM-001-00 dye) or buy a new drive.
DarkKnighT Posted September 1, 2009 Author Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) sh**t,this drive has done at maximum 10 burnings >.<,i read dvd+r dl on the dvrive so i thought that it was able to burn.The problem is that in my town i only found this 8x.... So you think that's an hardware problem and not a software problem? This will work only with a setup like this or i can make sth else? Newest burner ---> also 8x My burner ----> only 2.4x Edited September 1, 2009 by DarkKnighT
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Yes it's a hardware problem. I assume you're already running the 1.01 firmware on the drive yeah?
DarkKnighT Posted September 1, 2009 Author Posted September 1, 2009 Yes I am.So,if I buy 2.4x they will 100% work? (youst for having hundreads of cds and no burner >.<)
ThreeSixty Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 There is no guarantee about any burning! Its just about taking the risk and reading about other peoples experiences. I have verbatims but since i updated to 2.5.0 ive only had coasters. Then I downgraded back to 2.4.0 and never had a problem since! Maybe it was my batch of dvds i got that had defects or maybe the software i have no idea. Its like every person has a diffrent personality. Just like your drive + computer. The moral of the story is its just about taking the risk. If i was you, id go and buy a better cd drive. Lg drives mess up too often. I have a samsung
DarkKnighT Posted September 1, 2009 Author Posted September 1, 2009 What drive do you suggest me?Not very expensive,I use very often drives...

I have a samsung Downgrading did not fix your issue as there is no issue with 2.5.0.0 and burning xbox 360 images to disc .. Messing with settings stopped yours working like having USER specified layerbreak option ticked instead of calculate optimal which it would then get from a .DVD file ..unless someone sabotaged the .DVD by inserting a totally random (other than the proper 1913760) LB position for 360 backups
DarkKnighT Posted September 1, 2009 Author Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) anyway,someone can help me? Will verbatim 2,4x work? I would know it before buying a cacke of 50 ^^ also if there's a list of supported cds/dvds...thx** ** edit: Write support / Read support DVD-R = Works DVD-R = Is not supported DVD-R? = Not tested Single Layer(4.7GB) write speeds 1x (CLV) = about 58 minutes 2x (CLV) = about 29 minutes 2.4x (CLV) = about 24 minutes 4x (CLV) = about 14.5 minutes 6x (CLV/ZCLV) = about 10-12 minutes 8x (PCAV/ZCLV) = about 8-10 minutes 12x (PCAV/ZCLV) = about 6.5-7.5 minutes 16x (CAV/ZCLV) = about 6-7 minutes Dual/Double Layer(8.5GB) write speeds 1x CLV = about 105 minutes 2.4x CLV = about 44 minutes 4x CLV = about 27 minutes Single Layer (4.7GB) read speeds 1x read speed is 1.321MB/s = ~56 minutes 6x CAV (avg. ~4x) read speed is max 7.93MB/s = ~14 minutes 8x CAV (avg. ~6x) read speed is max 10.57MB/s = ~10 minutes 12x CAV (avg. ~8x) read speed is max 15.85MB/s = ~7 minutes 16x CAV (avg. ~12x) read speed is max 21.13MB/s = ~5 minutes Edited September 1, 2009 by DarkKnighT
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 At this stage it's impossible to say. Even if the Verbs don't work, you haven't exactly lost anything... just use them in the new burner you'll end up buying.
