AntDude Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 I tried both CDs (had to rewriteable since I was wasting discs!) and DVDs in my very old Sony NEC Optiarc burner drive (N:).

My other internal SATA DVD burner drive (M:; LG HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH24NS50), and it had no problems. No problems with other software burners (BurnAware Premium, CDBurnerXP, StarBurn, and W7's Disc Image burner). What's wrong?

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Your drive reported a 'write error'. It didn't like something about the disc... which is weird because you've told it to use 'Test Mode' and the drive isn't actually meant to be burning the disc. I can't comment on any failures prior to that one (where you weren't using that CD-RW), as you didn't include log info for those.
dbminter Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 My guess is your NEC gave up the ghost. You said it's 10 years old, which is an amazing life span for an optical disc burner. Plus, you said your other drive was writing to the same media fine? Which leads me to believe the Optiarc is at fault.

dbminter Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 Oh, I failed to see that part in your original post. You're right, that wouldn't explain why only ImgBurn is having a problem. It would be because there's a difference in the code in what ImgBurn does versus that other application.

I wonder if there is a debug option to collect more detailed logs to see what's up. For now, I won't be using ImgBurn for this old drive and just use the other burners.
dbminter Posted May 26, 2021 Posted May 26, 2021 There's a function key to enable more verbose debugging. LUK will have to tell you what it is and even if he wants to look at detailed debugging logs.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 27, 2021 Posted May 27, 2021 There’s no need for more ‘debug’ info. The drive reported a write error and that’s pretty much all there is to it. You could try enabling the ‘perform opc before write’ option, that may help your drive do its job. As I said though, all you’ve shown us is the log from test mode on a cdrw. Where’s the log from you attempting to burn the actual discs you want to be burning (before the multiple failures prompted you to use cdrw) ?

Regular burning is fine now after three attempts with two different CD-RWs. Test mode still fails even with 'perform opc before write’ option. Edited May 27, 2021 by AntDude
LIGHTNING UK! Posted May 27, 2021 Posted May 27, 2021 Test mode isn't going to tell you anything useful anyway. The only way to see if a drive can burn the discs is to actually try burning the discs.
