mice Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hey anyone -- I'm having problems with imgburn writing to a new disc, but stopping midway through the write. As far as I can tell, everything is going fine, then it just...stops. I'm using an HPdvd740 lightscribe and tdk dvd+r discs (1-16x, 4.6Gb, RW, etc) It's worked on a different dvd, but on this one it just stops midway through at different percentages of completion (ranging from 28% complete to 87% complete). Then the writing just stops and hours can go by with no activity (that's about as long as I'm willing to wait before feeling like a fool and giving up). Does anybody have any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Am I just not waiting long enough, or have I misconfigured something? TIA! -mice ps I thought to post the log of the session -- I apologize if there's redundant information here, but thought it wouldn't make sense to second guess what might be important. There's been zero activity and it's close to 2:46am now. ------------ I 01:01:16 ImgBurn Version 2.1.0.0 started!

dontasciime Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 you will be told to change your discs from cmc mag to either yudens or verbs. See if there is also a firmware update for your drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 You'd also do well to try and burn at a slower speed. 16x over USB is pushing it and that's probably why you're seeing so many of these buffer issues in your log. Try 8x or 12x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mice Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Yeah, that seemed to do the trick. You rock, man! Thank you so much for such a quick reply! -mice You'd also do well to try and burn at a slower speed. 16x over USB is pushing it and that's probably why you're seeing so many of these buffer issues in your log.
