Incomplete burn

[Jim West Pa]

I was usin nero, i got one successfull burn and then the burns started failin with progressively less and less burn per disc.

I switched to ImgBurn( so far i absolutely love it) and got two successful burns and then two failures with progressively lesser burns.

I tried slowin down the burn speed to no avail.

I am stumped.( i am also not very pc savvy, but willin to learn )

FYI, if it matters. I am runnin XP-SP3.Usin an HP burner with LiteScribe, Memorex DVD-R discs and DVD Shrink.

Thanx for any and all input/advice/answers

Jim

They aren't DL discs but what's mentioned in that thread still applies in principle.

 

You're using cheapo discs and should get some better ones by Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden.
