What does this burn error mean?

[efc1978]

Hi,

 

Could somebody please tell my why this burn failed?, I attached the log.

It's a DVD I made by adding new audio to m2v files and muxing with Muxman.

 

Also I have a second question, when SPLIP says YES isn't this supposed to me seamless layer break (without a pause)?, it still pauses, if I tick 'seamless' is that OK?, I've read that only some DVD players can handle it when seamless has been ticked?

 

Here's the log of the failed dual layer burn, any help appreciated.

 

 

Thanks

Might be worth noting was using Verbatim DVD+R DL 8x.

Your issue looks a lot like this one.

Thanks, burned successfully on a laptop, no write retries, and verified successfully with no miscompares or read errors.

 

Although I'm not sure if there is a disc error or authoring issue?

About 54 mins into the 110min DVD+R DL there's a slight fraction of a second pause, it's not the layer break, and the pause is faster than the layer break, it's also not on a chapter/track.

This pause happens to be during a song I authored by cutting the start and finish which the authoring program smart rendered as I cut not on an I frame, but I'm confused as the DVD has this pause in the 2 Blu Ray / DVD players I've played it in, however when I play the DVD in my PC I burned the DVD on the pause does not happen!

So I'm wondering is this pause related to the authoring?, or is it the disc itself, or something else?, I don't know.....

Thanks

I know Lite-Ons had a persistent problem with adding random pauses into DVD+R DL playback when it burned discs.  They weren't layer breaks.  However, if you've never encountered this before, it's most likely not the cause.  It's the reason I stopped buying LiteOns.  Every LiteOn DVD burner and the Blu-Ray burner I had did that.  In fact, their awful Blu-Ray burner did it on 2 out of 3 DVD+R DL's I burned.    And now, LiteOn no longer makes Blu-Ray drives, I think.  Probably because they were junk.  Mine stopped writing BD-RE's after 3 months.

hahaahah It's not a LiteOn burner.

However about 10 years ago I had a LiteOn CD/DVD burner in a PC, and I noticed when ripping CD's to my hard drive it would swap/reverse the left/right audio channels at random places!, I could not believe something could be so rubbish!

I purchased a new DVD/Blu ray burner later that day!!!
