Superkaka1983 Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Hi all, Hope you can help, im getting some problems when burning, dvd's and also xbox 360 games. On the DVD's the film will usually start skipping between 9-12 mins, and on some xbox titles I get, either disc dirty or it just stalls when trying to load the title screen. Im using Verbatim discs, and do get a lot of successful writes, but I am recently starting to get a few games and films with problems. Heres my last log below,its of a xbox360 game that stops in the same place every time, any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Cheers Mark I 09:35:34 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 What brand PC do you have? There's probably a firmware update available for the drive. Try cleaning it with a cleaning disc and using all of the 'supported' write speeds (note that your drive/firmware don't support MKM-003-00 at 2.4x) Update ImgBurn and put XP SP3 on unless there's an actual reason for you not doing it (and not just hearsay).

Thanks for getting back to me, its a packard bell. Where can I upgrade firmware on it from? Excuse my ignorance, but I have no idea what xp sp3 is... I'll update imgburn now, thanks again
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 http://lmgtfy.com/?q=XP+SP3 I think you're going to be out of luck with the firmware updates. Packard Bell don't really seem to do them - or at least not for that drive that I can find. If your drive is playing up then you should invest in a new one.
