Josh Smith Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) Hey guys, My burner states it is able to burn DVD+R DL DVD's, however, I have had zero luck with that whatsoever. I have now wasted a total of 5 freshly bough DL's and need some advice. At first, I attempted to burn my iso image with poweriso, no such luck, so switched to imgburn. My burner's always made regular cdr's just fine, as well as dvdr's and dvdrw's but now... the highest I can do on a Dual Layer seems to be 3% of the image Drive + Media Data: HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GSA-H73N C109 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD+R DL Disc Information: Status: Empty Erasable: No Free Sectors: 4,126,048 Free Space: 8,450,146,304 bytes Free Time: 916:55:73 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 4x, 6x, 8x DVD±R DL Boundary Information: L0 Data Zone Capacity: 2,063,024 Changeable: Yes Physical Format Information (ADIP): Disc ID: RITEK-S04-66 Book Type: DVD+R DL Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 2 Track Path: Opposite Track Path (OTP) Linear Density: 0.293 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196,608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 16,580,607 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 2,283,519 Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Disc ID: RITEK-S04-66 Book Type: DVD+R DL Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 2 Track Path: Opposite Track Path (OTP) Linear Density: 0.293 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196,608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 16,580,607 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 2,283,519 Performance (Write Speed): Descriptor 1... -> B0: 0x00, B1: 0x00, B2: 0x00, B3: 0x00 -> EL: 4126047 (0x003EF55F) -> RS: 11,080 KB/s (8x) - WS: 5,540 KB/s (4x) Descriptor 2... -> B0: 0x00, B1: 0x00, B2: 0x00, B3: 0x00 -> EL: 4126047 (0x003EF55F) -> RS: 11,080 KB/s (8x) - WS: 8,310 KB/s (6x) Descriptor 3... -> B0: 0x00, B1: 0x00, B2: 0x00, B3: 0x00 -> EL: 4126047 (0x003EF55F) -> RS: 11,080 KB/s (8x) - WS: 11,080 KB/s (8x) And here is the log of what happens when attempting to burn, I know current buffer is 20mb, I was experimenting with different buffer sizes.

I have also tried doing it at both 8x , 2.4x, and as you can see, 1x burns.So what do I do guys? :S Edited January 4, 2010 by Josh Smith
mmalves Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Then post the log from when you've tried with the Verbatim disc.

mmalves Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Try cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc, and if that doesn't work, then you'll need a new burner.
