Problems verifying burn

[jojogogo]

Hello all and a big shout out to Lightning UK for this awesome software and feedback support.

 

Anyway I hope someone can help.

 

I am trying to burn a wii iso image and followed these recommended steps:-

1. Put your blank DVD-R (it doesn't matter if you use the cheap ones) in the DVD drive. Let IMGBURN read the type of DVD you are using. After it recognize the DVD, click on the green running man at the right of the speed setup.(See thumbnail 1)

 

2. After this you will see a window where you will add the DISC ID by clicking on the green arrow besides the DISC ID max speed. Then set the max speed of the DISC ID to 4x.

Do the same with the DEVICE. Specify the device you will use and set the speed to 4x. Click add or update to ensure the info is in the top part of the window.

At the end click OK. (See thumbnail 2)

 

3. You must be now back in the main window. Browse for your iso. Make sure also the write speed is at 4x in this window. Now start burning your DVD game(See thumbnail 3)

 

It burns properly but upon verification it always fails at 97% with the error message "Timeout on Logical unit"

 

I then updated my firmware from version DW40 to DW60 A08 which is the most recent on Dells website being released on the 18th May 2011 which gave the same results. I also upgraded IMGBURN from version 2.5.5.0 to version 2.5.6.0.

 

I tried again with the same above settings but this time set all speeds to 1x and got the same result. I then tried again with the speeds set at 8x which failed again but this time at 90% and gave the message "L-EC Uncorrectable error"

 

I am using Vertabim Discs which are TYG03 which are supposedly Taiyo Yuden which according to some (including the FAQ listed here) are good but a few other sources have said only use Vertabim which are MCC03RG20.

 

Laptop is less than 2 years old so I doubt it could be the burner (but I don't know a lot when it comes to these things so I'm probably wrong).

 

I've cleaned the drive and also ran a vacuum cleaner over the laptop to make sure it isn't a dust issue but keep getting the same results.

 

Here is a log of the most recent attempts I've made:

I've read loads of different threads concerning similar problems which all suggest updating software/firmware etc but nothings worked so far.

Any help would be much appreciated since in the last 8 hours I've made enough coasters to last me a lifetime.

 

Thanks

It's probably worth you picking up another spindle of discs so you can rule them out as being the problem.

 

See if you can get the MCC based Verbatim DVD-Rs. Also keep an eye out for proper Taiyo Yuden 8x TYG02 discs.

 

Slimline drive are all pretty rubbish so that wouldn't be helping matters.

 

It shouldn't be having problems burning to decent media - which TYG03 certainly are.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll try and seek out the media you recommended and give it a shot. I'll post back the results
