HanKK Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) I have an LG GH24NS90 which has always worked flawlessly, but had to burn an ISO to DVD_R today and already wasted 10 discs because I keep getting errors. Using Verbatim DVD-Rs that can go up to speed 16. Already tried to change lower write speed to 4 or 8, set from DAO to Incremental. Checked firmware of the drive and already have the latest (from 2012..) Also tried burning a music CD to an (also Verbatim) CD-R and this worked fine. Maybe also worth mentioning that when the burning has started, the buffering seems to go well (based on the green bar), but once the lead-in has been written, the data transfer (and remaining time) is varying and sometimes drops to 0. The noise of the drive spinning also drops after a few minutes and I eventually end up with an I/O / Check Condition error. Any thoughts?

dbminter Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Please post a log of a failed burn to one of these discs. Under Help, there's a Log option. It's actually fairly common for CD's to continue burning correctly where DVD's fail or vice versa. It's even more common on Blu-Ray versus CD/DVD as there are 2 lasers in those: one for BD and one for CD/DVD. Just as a cursory evaluation, I'd say your drive has probably reached the end of its lifespan for burning DVD's. My benchmark is if a particular type of media fails 3 times in a row, I then swap in a replacement drive and try again. And it usually works after doing that. Just did it myself last week, actually.

dbminter Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Interesting. I've never seen a 24x supported write speed before for DVD. But, that most likely isn't an issue as you said you tried slower speeds, I think. At this point, I'd invest in some kind of USB external burner and try the same discs and image in it. If that works, you know it's a problem with the LG drive in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Try enabling the ‘perform opc before write’ option in the settings. Once you’ve done that, burn at each of the supported write speeds again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanKK Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Borrowed an external USB LG-drive from a friend. Burned the same ISO without issues. Any suggestions on a mor recent internal SATA replacement drive? Important that I can create proper EAC rips (and burn CDs and DVDs as well obviously).

dbminter Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 What I use is a BD burner. LG's WH16NS60 half height internal model in a Vantec USB 3.0 enclosure. Either Gen 1 or 2; each have their own drawbacks. For instance, on the G2, you cannot update the firmware of NS60's put into them. Don't know anything about EAC rips, so I can't say if it would be a proper fit for your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
