Dicky Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Hi I am trying to make copies of some DVD-R discs which were produced by my VCR/DVD combo from old video tapes I had. The discs are fine when played on my DVD player, but I keep getting "Disc Is Empty" when I try to "Create Image File From Disc". Hope someone can advise me? I am a new user of IMG, & not much of a techy either. Log below: I 12:29:09 ImgBurn Version 2.5.5.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Update the firmware on your drive to the latest version (SB03). http://www.firmwarehq.com/Samsung/SH-S223B/files.html If that doesn't fix it, copy + paste the disc info from the box on the right when you're in Read mode.

Dicky Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Thank you. I have updated the Firmware but it still says "Disc Is Empty". I have pasted the disc info : TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223B SB03 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD-R Disc Information: Status: Incomplete State of Last Session: Incomplete Erasable: No Free Sectors: 1,810,400 Free Space: 3,707,699,200 bytes Free Time: 402:20:50 (MM:SS:FF) Next Writable Address: 487488 Pre-recorded Information: Manufacturer ID: RITEKF1 Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Disc ID: 0@P-!-00 Book Type: DVD-R Part Version: 5 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 1 Track Path: Parallel Track Path (PTP) Linear Density: 0.267 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196,608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 0 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 It looks like you need to close the track / session on that disc. Right click the drive selection box and select Close -> Track / Session / Disc (in that order). Hopefully then the drive will be able to see the actual size. Of course if Windows will allow you to browse the contents of the disc in Explorer you could just point Build mode at the drive and have it make a new image that way.

Dicky Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hi Lightining UK Still no luck I'm afraid. Have tried closing the track/session/disc as suggested. It appears to start reading the disc but then comes up with "Invalid or Unsupported Image File Format" message box. The saved file does not write & is far too small in any case. Also have not been able to browse disc content in Windows Explorer. Have copied log & info from box on the right. Sorry to be such a pain - I do appreciate your assistance very much.
