hoyhoy Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 (edited) Hi, just been creating a dvd with DVD Flick that filled the DVD to 98% with a bitrate of something like 2,300 iirc. Everything appeared to be going fine until I get to ImgBurn which isn't allowing me to burn. I don't know if the following info from the device tab helps; PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-215D 1.13 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD+R Disc Information: Status: Incomplete Erasable: No Sessions: 1 Free Sectors: 2,294,816 Free Space: 4,699,783,168 bytes Free Time: 509:59:41 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 4x, 6x, 8x, 12x, 16x, 18x Disc Control Blocks Information: PIONEER DVR-215D Physical Format Information (ADIP): Disc ID: MBIPG101-R05-01 Book Type: DVD+R Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 1 Track Path: Parallel Track Path (PTP) Linear Density: 0.267 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196,608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 2,491,711 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 0 Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Disc ID: MBIPG101-R05-01 Book Type: DVD+R Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 1 Track Path: Parallel Track Path (PTP) Linear Density: 0.267 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196,608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 2,491,711 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 0 Performance (Write Speeds): Descriptor 1... -> B0: 0x00, B1: 0x00, B2: 0x00, B3: 0x00 -> EL: 2295103 (0x0023053F) -> RS: 5,540 KB/s (4x) - WS: 5,540 KB/s (4x) Descriptor 2... -> B0: 0x00, B1: 0x00, B2: 0x00, B3: 0x00 -> EL: 2295103 (0x0023053F) -> RS: 8,310 KB/s (6x) - WS: 8,310 KB/s (6x) Descriptor 3... -> B0: 0x00, B1: 0x00, B2: 0x00, B3: 0x00 -> EL: 2295103 (0x0023053F) -> RS: 11,080 KB/s (8x) - WS: 11,080 KB/s (8x) Descriptor 4... -> B0: 0x00, B1: 0x00, B2: 0x00, B3: 0x00 -> EL: 2295103 (0x0023053F) -> RS: 16,620 KB/s (12x) - WS: 16,620 KB/s (12x) Descriptor 5... -> B0: 0x00, B1: 0x00, B2: 0x00, B3: 0x00 -> EL: 2295103 (0x0023053F) -> RS: 22,160 KB/s (16x) - WS: 22,160 KB/s (16x) Descriptor 6... -> B0: 0x00, B1: 0x00, B2: 0x00, B3: 0x00 -> EL: 2295103 (0x0023053F) -> RS: 24,930 KB/s (18x) - WS: 24,930 KB/s (18x) ----------- So far as I can see, the brand new disc ought to cover the 4,670,652,416 byte size of the image I'm doing (and the 2,280,562 sectors). I've instead chosen to just create an ISO in the mean time, the size of which is 4,561,216 kb - any of this relevant? I'm not aware of any log, by the way - presumably I need a proper error for that to be generated? Any ideas? Thanks for any help. Edited December 19, 2009 by hoyhoy
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Update the firmware on your drive. http://www.firmwarehq.com/Pioneer/DVR-215D/files.html
hoyhoy Posted December 20, 2009 Author Posted December 20, 2009 Right, done that. Now trying to write with the iso I created instead and a non-disc flick version of imgburn and I'm getting no further. Here's the DVD-R profile thing again, if it helps; PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-215D 1.22 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD+R Disc Information: Status: Incomplete Erasable: No Sessions: 2 Sectors: 288 Size: 589,824 bytes Time: 00:05:63 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 4x, 6x, 8x, 12x, 16x, 18x TOC Information: Session 1...

mmalves Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 The burner thinks the disc has had data burned on it already. Have you tried other blanks? Do you have another burner you could try those blanks?
hoyhoy Posted December 21, 2009 Author Posted December 21, 2009 Tried other blanks from the same brand new batch - I'm pretty confident they aren't the problem, but I'll try and source another rewriter to test them on... In the mean time, any other ideas? A way of convincing imgburn there's nothing on them? Pretend I'm an idiot and think of everything I could conceivably be doing wrong (not formatting the discs properly or something).
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 It's not ImgBurn that needs convincing, it's the drive. Being DVD+R, obviously you don't format them at all. (That would render them useless to ImgBurn)
hoyhoy Posted December 21, 2009 Author Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) Well, I did (attempt to) format them (My Computer - rightclick on drive with disk inserted etc.). Perhaps we're getting somewhere... Edit: And I do believe it's sorted... new, unformatted disc now being burnt... Edited December 21, 2009 by hoyhoy
