Write successfully completed-then waiting for device

[Westcoast4me]

I used DVD Shrink 3.2 to generate my ISO file, then using IMGBURN 2.0.0.0 tried to burn the image. The original came from a +R DL disk with 6,721,404,928 bytes. The compression settings were on Automatic.

 

I used Write, not Build with ImgBurn

 

The write completed successfully, and then the tray cycled to begin the verify and the device never recognized the DVD - Device Not Ready (Medium Not Present) See the following log.

Okay, I noticed the size of my source file was very large, so then I went back to DVD Shrink and recreated a new ISO file using a custom compression ratio of approximately 70%. This took much longer to create the ISO file of course. However, the result was the same, as you can see in the log.

Help, I only have 4 blanks left!!

Any ideas of things to try to get this to work? Thanks.

[cornholio7]

forget the last 4 discs and get some verbatim or taiyo yuden discs , the Ritek discs are very problematic for most

 

take a look at the tests done on them here http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=539

[Westcoast4me]

Thanks, I will get some new disks. However, I have successfully burned 10 backup copies of another DVD using Nero, Copy DVD. Doubt that uses ISO files though.

 

One last question before I go buy some new DVDs.

 

Have you seen a case where the ISO file produced by DVD Shrink doesn't burn?

Yep, as corny said, your image size is not the problem at all, there is plenty of room on the media as I've highlighted.
