This started under 2.5.4.0 and is still happening under 2.5.5.0. ImgBurn recognizes my blank disk, TYG02 and Verbatim RW, and starts the write process. When it gets to the end a notice comes up saying 'cannot synchronize cache incompatible medium'. If I say retry I get the same thing, if I hit continue sometimes it completes the disk and the disk plays fine in my dvd player. Other times it just continues saying incompatible medium. This is the last 25% of the same batch of TYG02 which have always been fine. The Verbatim RWs have always worked as well for the last year.

Here is the log:

Any ideas?

Your problems are drive/firmware/media combo related.

 

TYG02 are about as good as you're ever going to get so that just leaves the drive and firmware.

 

The firmware is the latest version - dating back to 2003.

 

So that just leaves the drive.

 

It's probably about time you got yourself a new drive. Yours must be 8 years old now. If nothing else, I'm sure it could do with a clean (using a cleaning disc).

Thanks for the quick reply. I had a feeling it would be the drive. My other drive (read only) recently died so I figured this would be following soon.

 

Thanks for the bad news :)
