Shalashaska Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) Hi, as stated in the title, i keep getting errors when burning. Here's the log: I 12:19:47 Source File Sectors: 3,827,488 (MODE1/2048)I 12:19:47 Source File Size: 7,838,695,424 bytes I 12:19:47 Source File Volume Identifier: DVD_ROM I 12:19:47 Source File Volume Set Identifier: ec67c000MS UDFBridge I 12:19:47 Source File Application Identifier: CDIMAGE 2.45 (12/06/2000 TM) I 12:19:47 Source File Implementation Identifier: Microsoft CDIMAGE UDF I 12:19:47 Source File File System(s): ISO9660, UDF (1.50) I 12:19:47 Destination Device: [0:0:0] Slimtype eTAU108 2 LL03 (K:) (USB) I 12:19:47 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: RITEK-S04-66) (Speeds: 3x, 4x) I 12:19:47 Destination Media Sectors: 4,173,824 I 12:19:47 Write Mode: DVD I 12:19:47 Write Type: DAO I 12:19:47 Write Speed: 4x I 12:19:47 Link Size: Auto I 12:19:47 Lock Volume: Yes I 12:19:48 Test Mode: No I 12:19:48 OPC: No I 12:19:48 BURN-Proof: Enabled I 12:19:48 Write Speed Successfully Set! - Effective: 5,540 KB/s (4x) I 12:19:48 Book Type Setting: DVD-ROM I 12:19:48 Advanced Settings - Force HT: No, Online HT: No, OverSpeed: No, SmartBurn: Yes I 12:19:48 User Specified L0 Data Zone Capacity: 1,913,760 I 12:20:42 Set L0 Data Zone Capacity Succeeded!

W 12:49:23 Retry Failed - Reason: Invalid Address For Write Got to 37% on my first try, burning at 2.5x, then i realised this might have been the problem, so i set it to 4x and got to 94% before it cocked up. You're probably just going to tell me to get some Verbatims, but i thought i'd post anyway to see if anyone knew something more specific. Edit* Also, this was earlier in the log: W 11:48:02 Duplex Secure's SPTD driver can have a detrimental effect on drive performance. Thanks.

ianymaty Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 There is a pinned topic regarding problems burning double layer discs http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000 There isn't more apart of what is there. Try all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalashaska Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 2 of my mates use the exact same discs though, they never have problems with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianymaty Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Do they use the exact model of computer/laptop or burner? It's all about drive/firmware/media combination incompatibility. You have to change one of the variables in order to move somwhere. The easyest to change is firmware and since isn't one new compatible you could try change the media. Other than that, change the drive. Avoid slimline/laptop burner since they arn't reliable double layer burners, regardles of manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalashaska Posted February 26, 2011 Author Share Posted February 26, 2011 Avoid slimline/laptop burner since they arn't reliable double layer burners, regardles of manufacturer. That's my problem then i reckon Should most internal drives work well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianymaty Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Go for an Optiarc 72xx series and find a nice (not too expensive) external enclosure and you'll be fine. You can find more reviews and recommendations for o good burner on myce forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalashaska Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 Thanks for all the help, i've ordered an Optiarc 7260s, just going to install it internally, which is what i should have done in the first place - i just wanted less hassle. I'll report back when it arrives, i'll try burning again using the same discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianymaty Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 From the log, using a USB drive I assumed you have a laptop. For a computer is much more safe to use it internal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalashaska Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Right, the Optiarc came today, i've installed it all fine, got the newest firmware and all that. But it still fails, though i think i might know why. I gave my mate a few discs to try burn something on his, which failed for him too, and he normally burns without any problems. We then noticed that the discs were different from the ones he normally uses, these are 8x instead of the usual 2.4x. He couldn't get it to write anything either. Is this likely my problem? I'm attempting to burn 360 backups by the way.

Shalashaska Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 I 16:14:32 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: RITEK-S04-66) (Speeds: 4x, 6x, 8x) Riteks can be a bit of miss and luck. Tried the other speeds also? I tried writing one at 8x after reading your post (all the guides i have seen say use 2.4x or 4x), but believe it or not, it worked! It might be just luck, or i may have solved the problem now. But i think you're right about the discs, sometimes they may work, sometimes they may not. Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 2.4x is not a supported speed with that media. You can see the supported speeds in this red text. I 16:14:32 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: RITEK-S04-66) (Speeds: 4x, 6x, 8x) Selecting 2.4x will only be the same as 4x, as it's the next available/allowed/supported write speed. .
