SiteRegn Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Hi, I have been burning DVD with ImgBurn for some time now. In the beginning a few burns were good. But now all the burns are failing. I do not know the reason and cannot interpret the log. I have tried changing the DVD brand, but no use.. or could there be a problem with my DVD-writer? Anyways, here is the log, pls let me know what I can do... I 03:10:04 ImgBurn Version 2.5.6.0 started!

mmalves Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Try with Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden media. Also try burning slower at 6x or 4x to see if you get better results. If none of that works then you could try cleaning the drive with a lens cleaning disc, or even manually if you know how to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely so many discs cannot be defective, as I have tried discs of different brands & batches. I also tried using Nero & Roxio (giving me similar errors...) before trying ImgBurn. Is there any way I can find out if this is happening due to a problem with the DVD writer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 If the drive is doing the same thing on different discs (different dye/mid, not just brand name), yes it's at fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiteRegn Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 Try with Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden media. Also try burning slower at 6x or 4x to see if you get better results. If none of that works then you could try cleaning the drive with a lens cleaning disc, or even manually if you know how to do it. Had forgotten to try your first suggestion of burning at a lower speed! Tried writing again at 4x. It worked! Thanks a lot!! But does this mean I will not be able to write at a higher speed any more?? #39;( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
