Hi everyone,

 

bought 50 Tesco cdr's 3 days ago ( i have used them for years without problems).

 

16 of them have already gone in the bin. 7 have burned successfully using Nero, Burrrn and the EAC cdr writer.

 

Found Imgburn last night online and managed  to write one cdr.

 

Tried again a while ago and yet another failure. I have 2 identical Sony writers that came installed with the system 6 years ago.

 

I can burn dvd+r's no problem and dvd+rw's.

 

But not cdr's, which fail in both drives and not at the same time during the burn or with the same audio files.

 

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

 

Log file is attached.

 

Regards,

Mike.

Flashed the firmware on both writers, tried writing the same audio cdr in Drive E and it failed.

 

Tried the same data again in Drive F, failed again.

 

Read on another forum about buffer size and device priority.

 

So i set ImgBurn to "High Priority" and in the ImgBurn settings i increased the buffer from the default 80mb to 512mb.

 

Managed to burn the audio disc this time, but by the end of the burn process the buffer had disappeared, is this normal ?

 

Device Buffer remained at 100%

 

Pulling what hair i have left, out here ;)

 

I can't see how both drives would suddenly go tits up both at exactly the same time.  :D

 

regards,

Mike.

The buffer size and priority have nothing to do with anything.

 

The 'write error' shows your drive has (had) and issue writing to the media you're using. Once the data is in drive's cache (buffer), it's purely down to the drive/firmware/media combo you're using.

 

Get yourself some decent Taiyo Yuden CDs.
