Unreadable DVD+R

[Noctellia]

I'm trying to burn something on my DVD+R discs. The ISO is fine, I've tested it on my USB drive beforehand.

 

The drive is HL-DT-ST DVD-RW_GSA H41N ATA drive. I tried burning it yesterday and my Wii gave me an unreadable error despite ImgBurn saying the burn was sucessful. I believe the problem is because of my drive but I can't seem to figure out what it is. The type of disc I'm using(In the Disc ID section) is CMC-MAG-M01-00. Any help is appreciated.

Post the log of that burn, as per the pink banner at the top of this page.

Sadly the log no longer exists as I didn't save it(ImgBurn said it completed successfully, after all).

 

 

I'm thinking it's the DVD ID, as I've heard it's rather junk.

The default setting makes ImgBurn to save the logs when you exit.

Playback issues aren't really anything to do with us.

 

The disc burnt and verfied ok so it's 100% readable on the drive that burnt it.

 

Try with some better quality media - Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden.

 

Your drive doesn't appear to support changing the DVD+R disc booktype to DVD-ROM so watch out for that.
