MM1978 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hi, having been a big fan of ImgBurn for some time now I am very puzzled as to the problems I've been having recently I have backed up Wii games in the past without any problems at all, but recently I am experiencing the same error time after time. I am using Verbatim DVD-R'S, burning on a HP DVD RW AD-7561S ATA to be precise I am selecting the correct option to burn the ISO, selecting 4x speed and closing other programmes running when doing so. ImgBurn isn't flagging up any errors during the actual burn, but once the burn has completed I am only ending up with about 1/10 data actually burned on the disc. I know from past experience the data should literally fill the underside of the disc When I go to play the backup I am unable to. I have no other problems playing other backups that I have made in the past I have tested the actual burner by burning a DVD movie which was done successfully, adding to my confusion What am I doing wrong as I am lost? Any help would be very very much appreciated PS I am getting the warning about the Duplex Secure SPTD Driver come up when loading ImgBurn but have read online that this shouldn't cause an issue. I have also tried changing the way of writing to Incremental as suggested on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Please post the log of you burning + verifying such a disc... as per the pink box up the top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM1978 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Will do but the log doesn't seem to have much happening or anything as clear error. Have wasted quite a few discs but will use one more to hopefully get to the bottom of this. The fact that the burner done a movie fine has really stumped me or I'd be putting burner in bin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM1978 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Here is log from most recent attempt. Same result, only around 1/10 of data burned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 It's easier if you just copy + paste the text rather than posting a screenshot. You appear to have turned the Verify option off... I need to see the results of the verify process too. Put the disc back in the drive, go into Verify mode and compare it against that same image file. If it all comes back ok, there's nothing wrong with the burn. If your Wii can't read it, that's its problem I'm afraid. You shouldn't need to change the 'Write Type' to 'Incremental'. Put it back on 'DAO/SAO'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM1978 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Put disc back in drive and just says disc not empty, no option to start verify although it is ticked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 You're in Write mode, go into Verify mode. You're going to be doing this verify operation as a standalone task - as you're doing it after the fact. Leaving the 'Verify' checkbox ticked in 'Write' mode is enough to at least have the program verify the disc automatically next time you burn one.

MM1978 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Started new burn incl verify before picking reply up. Will copy and paste soon as done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM1978 Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 ? you confused as I am I can't see it being the discs as they are genuine Verbatim and I have gone through 5/6 of them now. Fact movie also burned fine doesn't really point to media or burner being problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Now go through the other discs you've burnt that image to and see where they error out during verification. It shouldn't make a difference what you burn to the discs, it's not like the drive knows and can be selective as to what it burns successfully or not. As far as I'm concerned, your drive hasn't reported a single error during the write phase - so it doesn't think anything has gone wrong with the burn. If the disc is then unreadable, there's some issue between the drive and the media. Can I assume that you're saying you think it's only burning a bit of the disc because the colour of the dye isn't uniform over the entire surface? You're going to have to waste some more discs and do some more tests. Ideally I'd like to see a 'Discovery' mode burn + verify. That'll burn zeros to the entire disc and will soon tell us (me) if the issue is a general one or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM1978 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Hello again LIGHTENING, have had a busy few days hence not looking into this further. I have however now done a Discovery mode test as you suggested Here is the log from that test, again using a Verbatim DVD-R What has been burnt looks very similar to the amount burned before, around 1/10th of a normal Wii burn (from decent experience with backups) I 16:56:53 Writing Track 1 of 1...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Your drive has probably developed a fault. You could try cleaning it with a cleaning disc but you may just want to invest in a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
