I/O error

[runitboy954]

Hey guys Ive been using ImgBurn for a while now but lately i have been running into the same error at 50% of completion while burning a game iso on a Memorex DVD+DL at 2.4x speed. Ive also tried a TDK DVD+DL at 2.4x speed but received the same error at 50%. The error is : W 16:24:10 Failed to Write Sectors 1916640 - 1916671 - Reason: No Seek Complete

Ive went through about 5 blanks and still received the same issue. If anybody can help it will be greatly appreciated. Here is the full log:

i dont think its the discs because they worked fine on my former laptop and on my current one. my current one however burns it too fast at 3x. only my desktop is capable at burning them at 2.4x but it gives me the dreaded error i detailed above.

Your burner is too old and doesn't support the blanks you have (notice it shows only 2.4x supported write speed when those blanks are rated for up to 8x burn speed). A new burner is pretty cheap and should be able to burn the blanks you have.

oh okay thanks for your response. on my laptop it only supports burn speeds at 3x,4x but thats way too fast. After completion, the disc dosent always work because the games must be burnt at 2.4x. is there any way to force my drive to write any slower?

[mmalves]

Burning slower doesn't necessarily mean you'll get a better quality burn, especially on newer drives which are better tuned for faster burns. If the burns produced by your laptop burner aren't readable then you should invest in a new burner for your desktop computer (slim burners are rubbish in general).
