Imperial Zeppelin Posted November 2, 2005 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!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 Update your drives firmware. It's on 2.1A now I believe. http://support.necsam.com/optical/downloads/flashfirmware/
cornholio7 Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 and the ritek d/l discs are still shite, try some verbatim or ricoh
Imperial Zeppelin Posted November 2, 2005 Author Posted November 2, 2005 Major D'OH here. Flashed both drives and everything's fine.... Thanks, Zep
lfcrule1972 Posted November 8, 2005 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
