psymgee Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hi, I'm running a samsung r620 and have just downloaded imgburn to back up xbox 360 games. I'm trying to change the book type from DVD-R to DVD+R DL with a new setting of DVD-ROM but every time i click change, an error message comes up "Failed! Reason: Cannot Format Medium - Incompatible Medium". I really have no idea what this means. The burner is DL, so i cant see what the problem would be. any ideas?? any help would be much appreciated.

Am I right? thanks for the help by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 True. It's not a DL disc. Current Profile: DVD-R Only + media can be book typed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 That's a Samsung drive and ImgBurn automatically booktypes +R media to DVD-ROM on Samsung drives, provided that the burner accepts the command. It can also booktype DVD+R DL media to DVD-ROM by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
