rayhan606 Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Ok so, I seem to be getting errors when attempting to burn discs, I'm using high quality media, Taiyo Yudens specifically, so it's not like I'm using crappy CDs or anything, I'm using an external USB CD Burner by ASUS one of their slim external ones, but only seem to get about 1/3rd through burning before something goes wrong. I'll post the log below, perhaps someone more experienced can figure out what's wrong. I 12:06:36 ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 started!

rayhan606 Posted March 24, 2021 Author Posted March 24, 2021 I've tried writing on both 8x speed and 4x speed, as well as writing different files but non are burning fully. 4x speed seemed to at least get to 30% done before crapping out though.
dbminter Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Probably because you're using a slim model drive. Slim model drives are notorious for being basically junk. Try getting a half height model USB drive and see if you have better luck. A firmware update will most likely 1.) not work and 2.) are rarely, if ever, posted for external burners.
rayhan606 Posted March 24, 2021 Author Posted March 24, 2021 Huh well.... Burning at 24x speed seems to have solved it. That's a little counter intuitive.
ianymaty Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 That's why we always recommend to try all the available speeds and not only the low speeds. Only than you can try change the discs or other troubleshouting.
dbminter Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Yes, I don't think I've seen a case where burning at a faster speed solved a problem. It's generally the other way around.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 4x and 8x aren’t supported speeds. It would have burnt both of those at 10x.
