Tried to burn image twice, failed, I don't know why. I'm a noob.

I'm trying to burn an ISO image to DVD. I'm a noob at this and I don't understand the jargon. Can anyone help me, please?

I've attached the log file from ImgBurn.

I would say your problem lies here:

 

I 12:15:36 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: MBI 01RG40)

 

 

The Disc ID is not one I recognize.  Usually, when I can't recognize it, it's probably a cheap manufacturer.  Cheap media is the most common cause of write errors.

 

 

Did you buy these DVD-R's from a brick and mortar store?  If so, they're most likely junk media as you can't find good stuff in stores anymore. 

 

 

You'll want to get stuff from Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim to get the best possible results.  However, TY is not sold in stores usually, only online.  And you can't trust the Verbatims bought in stores as they're CMC Magnetics junk.  If you get Verbatim, get them online and only get media labeled DataLife Plus.

 

 

Also, I can only speak from a United States point of view.  In other countries, MBI might be good media.  Who knows?    Plus, you might actually be able to find good media in foreign stores.  I don't know.

Thanks dbminter. The discs I bought are TDK, I thought they would be a good brand. I'll get some different ones and try again sometime. Thanks again.

TDK is good when TDK actually makes them.  I've seen TDK CD-R's which were CMC's, the worst optical media manufacturer out there.  TDK makes Verbatims BD-RE DL which seem to be okay.  TDK also used to make a good DVD+R DL but I haven't used those in 5 years plus.  I've not used TDK DVD-R to my knowledge and if I did, my experience would only apply to those in the United States.
