cuzo Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Hi I tried to burn an iso yesterday using imgburn and for some reason it wouldn''t let me burn at 2x. I set it to 2x and even changed the AWS to 2x but everytime i tried I got a 'mismatch' message and it burnt at 4x. I've now got 6 new coasters I'm using Aone Premium discs, which I have used before and had no problems. The only thing different since I last successfully burnt a disc is that I'm now using windows 7 instead of vista and I now have the latest version of imgburn. Any ideas welcome !!

Cynthia Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 You need to contact Lite-On to ask them to change the firmware. Currently the lowest speed possible in that firmware version is 4x. I 22:40:36 Destination Device: [0:1:0] ATAPI DVD A DH20A3P XY13 (E:) (ATA) I 22:40:36 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: UMEDISC-DL1-64) (Speeds: 4x, 6x, 8x) I 22:40:36 Destination Media Sectors: 4,173,824 I 22:40:36 Write Mode: DVD I 22:40:36 Write Type: DAO I 22:40:36 Write Speed: 2.4x I 22:40:36 Link Size: Auto I 22:40:36 Lock Volume: Yes I 22:40:36 Test Mode: No I 22:40:36 OPC: No I 22:40:36 BURN-Proof: Enabled W 22:40:36 Write Speed Miscompare! - Wanted: 3,324 KB/s (2.4x), Got: 5,540 KB/s (4x) I'm using Aone Premium discs Aone used to have the Ritek media code before. They changed it to the Umedisc code some months ago. That media code is a bit new and my guess it that it's not very good implemented in the write strategy of the firmware. Try the other speed - 6x and 8x and if they also fail - try with a bit "older" media code/another brand of discs or get a burner that supports that media code better.
cuzo Posted September 25, 2009 Author Posted September 25, 2009 Cheers Would Verbatim DVD+R DL discs make a difference or is it a problem with my burner
Cynthia Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 I have the H model of that burner and Verbatims work well with that one (DH-20A3H) http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=10902
cuzo Posted September 26, 2009 Author Posted September 26, 2009 Many Thanks... Just order 10 off ebay
