limax Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Hey guys. lately I've been experiencing some problems when burning media onto my discs. i often burn movie .ISO onto my dvd's (some no-name discs with a max speed of 16x) My drive is a Samsung 203D. (the other drive spoken about in my log is a virtual drive created by Daemon tools, it's the bluray/hd one) My issue is that when I installed win 7 a few months ago, there was no problems at all, if I chose to burn a media with 8x speed it did that, and afterwards verified the media with an average speed of 14x-16x. Now, a few weeks ago the average verifyspeed fell drastically, sometimes only reaching below 4x of average, and always starting out really slow, and building up the speed while verifying. And also, I'm burning a disc right now, at even though the max write speed is set to 12x it's only burning with 3.6x.. You guys have any ideas why this is happening? The log is following: I 17:04:24 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

Sorry I didn't reply earlier, but i was a bit busy TSSTcorp_CDDVDW_SH-S203D_SB01_13-JANUAR-2010_17-06_MBI_01RG40_12x.ibg
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Ok well the Verify line looks fine to me. It steps up a couple of times and then starts to increase as a steady rate as it works its way to the outer edge of the disc. I do not know why your drive is always burning at 4x, it certainly shouldn't be. I assume you've tried setting the write speed to all of the 'supported' options (and 'MAX') ? If you haven't, give that a go. Do you have any DVD+R discs you can try burning onto? (We recommend Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden here because they're the best)

(We recommend Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden here because they're the best) Unfortunately I don't have any DVD+R, but I don't think that would make much of a difference, since it has been working earlier. About the Burning process, it's not always that slow, sometimes it burns at 4x and sometimes at 12x (although it takes a while for it to get to that speed) About the verify rate, yeah you're right, it gets to the speed, but it takes sooo damn long, I remember that in the start it went to maximum verify rate in like seconds, and same with burning speed...

Nah, it's never done that. Never ever ever ever ever. The only speeds you might start and end at are (at a guess) sub 8x. To get 16x from the inner most region of the disc would make the thing explode due to the RPM required. There are tons of graphs in the 'Media' forum, take a look at them and you'll see the drive speed ramp up as the burn goes along. You normally only reach the true max speed at the very end of the burn - and then of course it's only for a matter of seconds.
