Can't burn at 2x anymore

[cuzo]

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 !!

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'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.

Would Verbatim DVD+R DL discs make a difference or is it a problem with my burner

[Cynthia]

I have the H model of that burner and Verbatims work well with that one (DH-20A3H)
