maxplant8 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Writing a DVD+R DL disk (TDK) all went well but the disk failed to be finalised. It will play on my computer but not thru a regular (region free) DVD player. Is there some way I can get ImgBurn to finalise the disk -- I hoped verifying it might do the trick, but all was verified and declared ok, without a successful finalisation. Can anyone suggest a solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 If the drive couldn't finalise it the first 4 or so times ImgBurn tried, it's probably not going to work now. Verifying doesn't magically fix anything. Post the log of the failed burn and we'll take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additional comment: For no reason I can figure the disk created will not play on all computers and, as reported in my earlier post, will not play on my regular (Pioneer) DVD player. However, it does play on a JVC "DVD Video Recorder & Video Cassette Recorder". The only reason I can imagine is that the latter will play non-finalised disks recorded on it (but it won't finalise this one, I tried).

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000 Did you buy that burner or did it come in your PC? Just wondering if it's branded by someone or who made your PC. The only firmware update I could find was C106 but that's just for Dell machines.

maxplant8 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 The Blu-ray burner came with a Dell PC and the fault could well lie with the software there. I'll check it out when I have time (probably not before tomorrow). I thought I had the latest updates, but it is possible I don't. The software appears to be Cyberlink PowerDVD (Bluray).

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Ah so it is Dell.... install C106 then http://www.firmwarehq.com/LG/BH20N/files.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxplant8 Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 Update software installed and burn apparently successful. However, the burnt disk will not play in my regular DVD player, tho it will paly in another machine that is a DVD recorder. The only new thought I have is that I am using DVD+R but I can't see why that shoudl be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Do you have a log of you burning and verifying the disc? It is DVD Video content that you're burning yeah? I assume it's not an NTSC / PAL issue? Does the player the disc doesn't work in give you any sort of error message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
