Dexter41 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) Hi guys and gals, I got a problem. I like ImgBurn as it is free and has a lot of functions, but recently I had a few problems with it: I usually use Verbatim DVD+Rs and I have never had any problems with them and ImgBurn, but now I bought JVC DVD+R discs (YUDEN000-T03) and when I burn some files to them, my DVD-ROM drive - a Hitachi-LG DH16NS30 - doesn't read the disc. My burner, a Toshiba-Samsung TSST SH-S203B, with firmware SB03, reads the discs without any problems, and so does my laptop's LG DVD burner. I have another computer, an old machine I built myself just for the fun of it, which has an old Sony DDU1621 DVD-ROM, and the drive doesn't recognize the disc either (and it DOES recognize Verbatim DVD+R discs burnt with the same drive). Interesting thing is that when I burn some data to one of those JVC DVDs using Windows 7's explorer, the HL DT ST DH16NS30 DVD-ROM reads it very quickly without problems. I tried burning 2 JVC DVD+R disc with ImgButn, once using ISO9660+Joilet and once using ISO9660+UDF, both of the DVD-ROMs failed to read both them. They don't even recognize the discs. Is there any way I can configure ImgBurn so that JVC (Taiyo Yuden) DVD+R discs burnt with my SH-S203B (SB03) are compatible with the HL DT ST DH16NS30 DVD-ROM? All the burning I do is at 16x speed. THX in advance! EDIT: I was going to post a log, but when I put the burnt DVD into my DVD ROM, it read it! Now I'm totally confused. I'm going to do some research and post back in a few minutes... EDIT2: So I burnt another 2 DVDs and it seems good now. But I don't get it. When I insert a JVC DVD+R I burnt yesterday into the HL DT ST DVD ROM, it still doesn't read it, and I used EXACTLY the same settings when I was buning it... Anyway I am going to burn some more of those DVDs and see what happens. Hell, even the old Sony DVDROM reads the ones I burnt today! I dont get that... Maybe some of the DVDs are defect, and the rest are good, because from what I have read on the webz, Taiyo Yuden are amongst the best DVDs a mortal can buy along with the AZO Verbatims. Well, I have a lot to burn, so if there will be any more DVDs, which my DVD-ROM won't read, I'll post the info and log...

dbminter Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Did you restart the PC at any time during testing these discs? I hate to say it, but, Windows, sometimes, just won't recognize media inserted into a drive. It's for no apparent reason, it seems. Restarting Windows, though, seems to kick start Windows back into reading discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter41 Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 Yes, I restarted it many times. It's strange, but the first disc I burned is still not recognized by the dvdrom, only the later-burned discs are. It's like restarting the computer solved problems with burning the DVDs, not reading them Is that possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 It's Windows. If you get an error and are somehow able to fix it, you chalk it up as a victory and go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter41 Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Yeah. But I hope it's permanently fixed, I fear that I might someday burn another ureadable DVD, not knowing how I fixed that now... I just hope it won't happen and if it does, I'll be ready to post the log and all the info... Edited October 8, 2010 by Dexter41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
