DVD burn fails to Memorex DVD+RW using Samsung SH-S222 writer

[dlglobal]

After using DVD shrink for backup, used Memorex DVD+RW disks to burn on a Samsung SH-S222 DVD+RW Writer.

 

Error received(L-EC uncorrectable error).

 

Continue to use fresh DVD’s (5 so far) from the pack with no success?

Help!

Yes, I'd like to see the log to see what the Manufacturer ID of the discs is. You say Memorex, which is known to use cheap CMC media for some of their products. But, some of their discs use Verbatim/MCC dyes. I think DVD+R is one of their good products so the DVD+RW may be good, too. Still need the log, though, to determine anything.

Notice the line that says

As I said, Memorex sometimes uses CMC Magentics dyes in their media. I wouldn't trust CMC media as far as I could throw a CMC processing plant! Get some Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden discs and see if your problem goes away.

[dbminter]

Also, what exactly was your problem? The log doesn't seem to show any problem that I can see. You said something about an L-EC uncorrectable error or something like that?

Hm. I went over your log twice before posting and I failed to notice that part at the end both times.
