Cynthia Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 If it can't burn the best media on the market, get a new burner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante109 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 But i tried a single layer dvd, it burned perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yes but single layer DVDs aren't double layer DVDs. It's apples and oranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante109 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 ok will try it on a different drive and let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante109 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Shall it work with an external DVD writer? Im thinking of buying this- Transcend Slim Portable CD/DVD Writer http://www.flipkart.com/computers/external-dvd-writers/itmczzca8dah3y5f?pid=accczzc9uzk9gzzs&_l=Mov%20fT84kmRKD0p%20AQJKyQ--&_r=QXBxpuU8TtlpPrW5x%20kUQQ--&ref=2fb77186-5499-4639-8abd-810cff3757d6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 You should avoid slim drives, they make for rubbish burners. Buy a generic 5.25 USB/eSATA enclosure and put a standard desktop drive in it - something like an Optiarc 7260/7280. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante109 Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) My choices very narrowed down... Is it that the external drive will result in an unsuccessful burn or just a few unsuccessful one's? And i dont care if it stops working after 1 Year or so cuz i needed it kinda urgently..

Should I take an external one or an internal one for the laptop and if so please recommend a brand with model no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I already did that in post # 7 The enclosure would be something like this... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tempest-5-25-Blu-ray-DVD-RW-Sata-ESATA-USB-Enclosure-/300555082457?pt=UK_Collectables_HardDriveEnclosures_RL&hash=item45fa7a9ad9 and then just stick a drive like this in it... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Sony-NEC-Optiarc-AD-7280S-Internal-DVD-Writer-/380372325201?pt=UK_Computing_Drives_Storage_CD_DVD_Drives_ET&hash=item588ff51351 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
