depakjan Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Ok guys... this error(Finalise Disc Failed! - Reason: Program Memory Area Update Failure) is freaking me out... i read the sticky thread already.. it's all good IMGBURN reports the error.. fine.. but what is the point??.. it does not write or finalize the disc which makes the discs go to waste.. i have not tried any other software.. i need a solution on this before wasting any more discs.. i have alreadu Re-Tried 6 times and wasted 6 DL discs.. had enough of this... and IMGBURN is being really stupid sometimes.. first time i try to write it stops at Setting L0 partition thing and gives me some error... so i cancel it.. next i try to write again.. IMGBURN now does not try to SET the L0 thing and it immediately starts in Writing Lead-in phase and that is all.. that disc is gone.. if without setting L0 imgburn writes somthing.. it will never finalize for me PMA error and the disc is gone.. Now i need to know 2 things.... first how to do i make IMGBURN to force it to SET L0 thing everytime i try to burn.. I DONT WANT TO WASTE THE DISC anymore... if i restart the system sometimes it tries to SET L0 and i could cancel the process.. sometime it justs starts to write.. please tell me how to do it?? Next thing what is the solution for this???... do i have to use a different disc? or differnt PC or different DVD drive... what is causing this issue.. is there no solution for this??.. sorry for not posting the LOG... will post it once i reach home.. at work now..

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Don't reuse failed discs, you're just asking for trouble when you do that. Don't assume ImgBurn is being 'stupid' because it doesn't do what you think it should be. ImgBurn knows what it's doing - probably a lot more than you do. Buy a decent drive and use decent media (DL disc wise, that means buying Verbatim discs) and you won't have any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depakjan Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) I am trying to Burn xbox 360 games to Dual layer DVD's.. also i am not reusing the discs!!... when i am saying re-trying i am using a new disc everytime.. And Yes ImgBurn knows looooooot more than i do.. my question was why wont it to try to 'Set L0 partitio' thing the second time i try to burn the same image to a different disc!!! .... Since it does not try to do so, i end up having PMA errors while finalizing.. it writes completely 100% and then it keeps giving errors and does not finalize.. WHY??? it should do all the phases everytime you try to write right?? and can i enforce it so that it follows all the phases everytime? 1. Set L0 2. Writing Leadin 3. Burn ............. it works this way for the first time... next time 1. Writing Leadin 2. Burn and because of this .. finalize fails.. i will post a log when i reach home.. then you will beleive...
