Imperial Zeppelin Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Learned Colleagues: I've been sitting on a few Ritek DVD+DLs and decided to break them out for SW Episode III since everyone in the household wanted to fall asleep last night with vision of lightsabers dancing in their mind. Well I had no success on multiple discs. I've tried a direct copy with ImgBurn and DVDD******er which didn't work. I made a new ISO through PgcEdit and tried buring with both ImgBurn and RecordNow and also got an error. I have 2 NEC burners and both gave me errors. My only hypothesis is that I've got a bad batch of discs, but that seems shakey. Here's my last ImgBurn log file and I would appreciate it if anyone would please advise.... Important additional note, before the "Cannot Write Medium" errors started I got another error that is not logged it said: CDB:BF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 20 00 0C 00 00 Interpretation: Send DVD Structure - DVD+R DL Boundry Information Sense Area: 70 00 03 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 Interpretation: No Seek Complete I 05:30:12 ImgBurn Version 1.0.0.0 started!

lfcrule1972 Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Watch those discs tho - I have seen nothing that suggests that they are even 90% reliable. Verb DL's would be my only choice for that kind of expense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
