Disc Problem

[ChuckR]

I just downloaded ImgBurn and am very pleased.  The reason for the choice is a problem I am having with a

TSSTCORP CDDVDW SH-S223L and Memorex High Speed CD-RW Disc's.

The LOG file follows.

The program said the disc had to be erased which it seemed to do.  Any and All ideas on the use of this

media with this device is appreciated.

It looks like your drive is having trouble with those discs, get some different ones (some made by Verbatim perhaps).

I am trying to gain information about WHY a drive and disc don't work together.

This is more of a learning experience now. I have SONY discs that work.

Thanks

Some discs are just rubbish and drives don't work properly with them. Even if the firmware does contain that media code, the quality of discs can vary a lot with the low quality ones and it throws things off - meaning the drive isn't as 'calibrated' for burning them as it should be. That then leaves you with a disc the drive can't burn nicely and will probably be unreadable once burnt.
