Claudiu Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Hi. I have the following problem: when trying to write some DVD+R DL (Verbatim made in India because I can't find any made in Singapore in my location) I get the error shown in the attached picture and the Imgburn log. I should mention that I'm using latest imgburn 2.5.2.0, writer firmware is the latest version(I had the same problem with the old firmware also) and always writing at 2,4x on Windows 7. After some failures with Verbatim disks(some bought in their own case, others bought in 10x pack) I tryed a Memorex disk witch was write correctly. My writer is about one year old and it still has warranty so I went with it to the service and they tested it on another system with Nero 7 using 2 Omega DVD+R DL one written at max speed and the other written at 2,4x witch my writer also write perfectly. The writer also writes any other CD or DVD single layer without fault. Is there a chance that the SATA drivers from my system to cause the problem because sometimes it writes on Verbs correctly, sometime I get the error I was mentioning, error witch occurs random (sometimes at 20% or so, sometimes at 50% and sometimes on the second layer after 50%). Or my writer just don't likes Verbatim disks? I will try some more Memorex to see if they work as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. log imgburn.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 2.4x might not be the optimal speed for those discs on your burner, try the other supported write speeds. I 22:28:03 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: MKM-003-00) (Speeds: 2,4x; 4x; 6x; 8x) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudiu Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 The problem is that if I write at more than 2,4x, my XBOX will not read the disk (allready tried at 4x). The speed must be 2,4x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 If the drive does a better job at faster speeds, the disc should be easier to read. Have you tried MKM-001-00 discs? How about cleaning the drive with a cleaning disc? There isn't much else you can do. If you really must stick at 2.4x you'll have to buy a new drive or something.

Claudiu Posted October 22, 2010 Author Share Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) The guys at service said that if it's writing correctly for everything else it does't need cleaning because if it was dirty than I would have errors with any disk, and must be a faulty SATA driver. Is that possible to be the driver or it's sure that's a hardware problem? P.S. Those Verbatims are the only ones that I can find in my location(Romania). Those cleaning disks are of any use? I allready have one but it's with some liquid solution and I'm affraid it will do more damage. Should I try it?

ianymaty Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 MKM-003-00 is 8x rated media after all so it's supposed to do the best job at that speed not a lower one. I would waste one more disc to try at 8x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
