lluberest Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Hello everybody, I've already wasted 5 verbatim double layer dvds trying to burn a dvd movie. Using the "Build mode", so transfering files from folder to disc. It seems to me that there's some problem between the burning device and the disc, since it all starts well, but goes on error at about 50 or 60% of the process, so when starting to write on the second layer. Discs are verbatim x8, but I've tried using x4, x2 and x1 speeds. The only difference is that, the higher the speed, the earlier I got the error... My burning media is an ASUS DRW-2014L1T, not yet two years old. It works quite well, despite it never sounded as sure of itself as my old LG... I've updated the firmware but the error persists. The discs I think are those new MKM-003-00, so that may be the key of the problem... This is the log: I 20:18:25 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

I would really appreciate any advice or solution, since I'd like not to throw away the remaining 20 dl dvds I have, and I'd prefer not to buy a new device, since this one still works ok. Please excuse me if I've done any mistake, I'm spanish and my english is not perfect... Thank you all
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 I 16:58:07 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: MKM-003-00) (Speeds: 4x; 6x; 8x) As you can see, your drive only supports 4x, 6x and 8x on those discs. Selecting anything below 4x is pointless, the drive will still burn at 4x. Likewise, attempt anything above 8x and it'll still burn at 8x. So now you just need to try 6x and 8x properly. Try cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc. Try a disc from a different spindle (still 8x Verbatims). Try the 2.4x speed Verbatims if you can find/buy them (MKM-001-00 dye). If all else fails, buy a new drive.

So after x4 and x8 failed, I preferred not to waste another dvd trying x6, it seemed quite obvious that it would end the same way. I haven't seen the 2,4x verbatims around, only the ones I have, or TDKs... Anyway, I guess I'll try with a cleaning disc and see if it makes any difference.
