Unsuccessful Burn - Failure to read sector?

[tcshine]

I've tried burning this ISO file a couple of times now, and I keep getting the same message about "Failure to read sectors". Here's the log:

Can someone figure this out and help me through this process?

Thanks,

Junk media, buy Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden.

 

Newer firmware available here: http://www.firmwarehq.com/BenQ/DW1620/files.html

 

That drive is getting on a bit now, it might benefit from a clean - or you could replace it.

Thanks for your help Lightning, and I appriciate your very quick response. As you suggested, I picked up some new media - Verbatim DVD+R and also downloaded and installed the newer firmware. I then used a CD/DVD drive cleaner (disk) to clean up the driver. And now.....when I tried to write a DVD, I'm getting the "Device Not Ready (Medium Not Present)" message at the bottom of the window. Hmmmmm. Maybe the cleaner stirred up a lot of dust and it's become REALLY dirty? I tried playing a CD and it worked fine. Any ideas?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Keep cleaning it until it works again?!

 

Can it read original 'pressed' DVD-ROM discs?

[tcshine]

Thanks again for getting back to me so quick. I wish this thing would start working as fast! Anyway, I solved the no "media not present" thing by rebooting the computer - I thought maybe when I installed the firmware it needed to be restarted. Whatever, it worked. However, the end result is back to square 1:

Oh, and I tried a Monopoly game (original 'pressed' DVD-ROM disc) to see if it would read it and yes - it did.

I'm thinking my burner is burnt (out). What do you think?

[Cynthia]

Tried a faster speed like 4x or 8x?

[tcshine]

Thanks Cynthia - I will try that the next time. Meanwhile, I'm downloading another video (same exact size) to see if it will work. I'm thinking maybe the file was buggered. Stay tuned......

The burner doesn't care about the data you're burning. It might be just dirty or worn out. A new burner is your best option.

[tcshine]

Thanks mmalves. You're probably right....unfortunately :-(

[Cynthia]

It's a nice scanner so don't throw it in a dumpster.
