BarnOwl Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Having problems burning a wav image. Tried my Acer pc, which completed the burn, but then failed to Verify. I tried it in the player, but that came up "No Disc"", so I tried my HP laptop, which in the past has been more reliable, but that would not complete the burn. HP log file attached - does it give anyone any clues as to what my problem is, or may be? Thanks. 270318 ImgBurn.log
Ch3vr0n Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 .Wav isn't an image format. That's an audio file extension type. Nothing more. Sent from my Nexus 6P with Tapatalk
dbminter Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 It seems he was burning a CUE file that resulted in an about 700 MB image. But, as Ch3vr0n said, WAV isn't an image file. ImgBurn creates image files from WAV files, though, when creating CUE files. As for what's going on, I'd first suggest trying something other than Sony brand. I've found most Sony products since 2002 to be mostly junk. Since you've tried multiple drives on different PC's but used the same media each time, probably, I'd try using something like Verbatim DataLife Plus CD-R (NOT the Life series.) first to see if that does the trick. As for the cause, it's either a drive that isn't working right or, most likely in this case, an issue where the drive doesn't like Sony's CD-R's. I admit I've never heard of a Reason: Track Following Error before, so I don't know what it means.
BarnOwl Posted March 28, 2018 Author Posted March 28, 2018 Thanks guys - I'm off shopping for better CDs. Who'd have thought Sony were junk - still, they were bought from a supermarket....????
dbminter Posted March 28, 2018 Posted March 28, 2018 In fact, you won't find any good media in a store. Verbatim DataLife Plus media can only be found online. Even the Verbatim you find in stores is the Life series, which is junk.
BarnOwl Posted March 29, 2018 Author Posted March 29, 2018 Thanks again for your guidance - much appreciated.
BarnOwl Posted April 3, 2018 Author Posted April 3, 2018 Just to update and close this thread, my Verbatim DataLife Plus CD-Rs arrived in the post today, and worked perfectly... A lesson learned. Thanks again to all concerned.
