Error when trying to burn

[Superstarr]

I'm having a weird problem with my DVD drive. It makes an ISO file with no problem, but when I try to burn that file to DVD, the error in the picture keeps coming up.

It was working fine a few days ago, I was burning DVDs with no problem with the same method; creating an ISO file and then burning that ISO file to DVD, and then all of a sudden this started happening.

I've gone into the device manager and looked in there and it says everything is fine....so I don't know,it's just very weird. I've also tried two different brands of blank DVDs, nothing has helped.

I thought maybe the actual driver started to go bad, but it creates the ISO file with no problem.  I also uninstalled and reinstalled ImgBurn, but that didn't fix whatever the problem is.

Post a log, please.  Preferably, both logs, one for each type of blank DVD you burned to.

[Superstarr]

Where do I find the log at?I don't have the first brand of DVDs that I tried anymore, I ran out of them yesterday.   Do I have to redo the whole process again to get the log?

[dbminter]

Open Help and choose ImgBurn Logs.  The folder with the .log file opens.  Open the .log file from the folder that opens and find the appropriate burns in the log.  Copy and paste the 2 burns here.

Looks like both failed burns were to CMC Magnetics media.

 

 

I 15:05:57 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: CMC MAG. AM3)

 

 

Try something other than CMC.  CMC is the bottom of the barrel disc manufacturer.  They are responsible for about half of the errors we see on this board.  Most people find their problems disappear if they switch away from cheaper media.

 

 

Unless you have had success with CMC's before.  Check the log for the last successful burn and see what the Disc ID was for it.  If it was the same, CMC MAG. AM3, then your drive has probably given up the ghost and needs replacing.  If your last successful burn was to something other than CMC, that's probably why it succeeded.

 

 

Your Read log shows a TYG media was the successful burn for that read.  TYG is Taiyo Yuden.  Back when Taiyo Yuden was making media, they were the 2nd best manufacturer of optical media out there.  So, it's no surprise if this TYG03 burn was successful and read was the other DVD you burned, then that just points more fingers of blame to the CMC media.

[Superstarr]

Well, the last ones that were successful was Verbatim DVD-R....but as I was using discs from the same spindle....that's when this started to happen. It was literally working one minute (disc) and not the next, from the same brand, same spindle.... and it's continued to the Memorex that I'm using at the moment..

[dbminter]

Well, those Verbatims could have been CMC, as Verbatim does farm out to CMC for its Life series.  Memorex also uses CMC for its DVD-R.  So, it's kind of hard to say.  The only thing you can say for sure is if you know you used Verbatims from CMC before and they worked, then your drive probably needs replacing if they were working before and then just suddenly stopped. 

[Superstarr]

Yeah, I was afraid of that. I was just hoping since ImgBurn was making the ISO files with no problem, but not burning them all of a sudden, then it was something with the program..I just found it odd, because it still makes the ISO file from any DVD that I've tried with no problem, but it just fails on the burning part, so that'swhy I thought that maybe the drive wasn't the problem

[dbminter]

Burning will almost always fail before reading ever will fail.  And when burning fails, you'll often find that every other kind of media burns fine EXCEPT one.  Usually DVD+R DL.  My most recent drive replacement, last week, was because it wrote everything else fine but failed on BD-R.  So, just because reading works, that's no indication the drive hasn't failed writing.
