Can't verify second layer.

[Foxpox]

Hi!

First I want start by thanking for a great product, been using it for a long time and never had any problems with it!

 

But now lately I've been having problems with burning DL.

I've been burning with the same unit and disc's before with good success rate but now I burned 6 straight coasters.

Sadly I only have this log from my last burn where I tried a previous version due to reading here on the forum about someone that had more luck with that then the 2.5 version but to no avail for me.

 

So heres the log. And what I can see the burn goes ok but when it comes to verifying it fails.

I of coarse tried the disks in the 360 but it wont work either.

 

I 16:09:41 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started!

I 16:09:41 Microsoft Windows Vista Business Edition (6.0, Build 6002 : Service Pack 2)

I 16:09:41 Total Physical Memory: 3

Try faster speeds (4x or 6x) and try cleaning the drive.

 

If it doesn't work, invest in a decent new external burner.

Ok, I'll try that. Thanks

Weird that it all of a sudden start failing to burn the second layer correctly.

Now I did all at once so not sure what fixed it, but I cleaned the lens, put it to 4x speed and also turned on OPC.

And now it manage to verify the second layer again! So one of those fixed it or maybe all 3 combined. :-)

 

Thanks!

if you use the newest version of imgburn , you can verify the contents of the disc against the iso you have just burned from.

personally i verify everything i burn as it only takes 5 minutes, then i know i can play it in my standalone

Ya i know, you can that in the older versions too, I always do that too but as of late I couldn't and that was my problem.

Well actually the problem was that the burn process thought it made a successful burn when it didn't.
