chima07 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) So I can't for some reason make a thread in the support area, even though I have more posts than others?? (whom have created threads) Anyways, maybe a mod would be courteous and move thread to designated area. Here's my dilemma: So...went out and purchased the verbatim 8x dl disc and, 23:03:51 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

Cynthia Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I 23:08:00 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: MKM-003-00) (Speeds: 2.4x) There is only one speed to select, so selecting something else is useless as it will revert back to 2.4x. Your burner simple doesn't like that media. An external burner would solve your issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynthia Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I like Pioneers. Get an internal version and put it into an external USB cabinet if you can fit it inside the computer. Models 115/116/117/215/216/217. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynthia Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Lite-Ons are not my cup of tea. However nice for scannings. Some models do not go very well with DL media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmalves Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 An external slim burner is a laptop burner in an external enclosure, and as you know by now, laptop burners are rubbish. The site you've linked to doesn't seem to have any good external burners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynthia Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 if not, any of these: http://www.staples.com/office/supplies/Sta...mp;fromUrl=home You need a zip code for that page. Zip codes for me is pure Greek as I don't live in the US. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp;js...d=1218069254016 It's a bit high priced but it would be the one I would pick from that page.

OKay, is it going to be good for burning isos onto DL +r disc or .dvd files...im using verbatim 2.4x disc and have 8x ones as well I'm going to pick it up as we speak. THANKS SO MUCH, hope I'm not dissapointed...you seem like you are a veteran when it comes to this stuff...I was going to give up on this but now I'm like I dropped so much $$ on disc might as well finish it out...
