I/O Error buring disk- failed to reserve track

[boogieman]

I have an iso created from img burn (from individual files - vob, ifo, bup files, etc). I followed instructions on internet that says to add empty AUDIO_TS folder and use imgburn->menu build feature. I failed when I had output as device. Then I decided to create output as image(.iso). So, now I'm trying to burn this .iso and I'm getting original error. Here is the log:

There was a popup error from imgburn. The contents read as:

 

First pop-up:

============

Subject: I/O Error!

Second pop-up

=============

 

Subject: Failed to Reserve Track!

Reason: Cannot Write Medium - Incompatible Format

 

<button: ok>

 

Now, I bought the DVDs from 100 pack and the last 20 remains, so this is unlikely to be the DVDs. I've been using them from the same pack for a long time now, without issues.

 

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

 

Cheers for the Christmas!

The media (media code) is not supported by the current firmware.

 

Is it a genuine Optiarc or some rebadged one (Dell, Sony)?

Yes, this is a genuine Acer Aspire 8920, bought from a Canadian bulk seller--brand new, with packaging and manuals, etc. What I can't understand, is I have been using these DVDs for over 1 year (from the same pack of 100). Should I upgrade my firmware? Thanks for replying.

Hi Cynthia, you might be right. My wife just suggested that I try another DVD-R and it is burning. What are the odds that you will pick a defective DVD-R from a stack of brand-new ones? Thanks again.
