Writable Media by Drive Type and Invalid Address

[stickbuilt]

Greetings... New ImgBurn user here. I've searched the forum for some help, but can't seem to find my specific problem with regards to my drive.

 

First question:

 

Under the drives & Media forum, it is organized by Media type. Is there a way to optionally organize by drive type so that the user doesn't have to peruse through all of the media types to verify if his/her drive type has been tested against various (or any) media types? Where I am having a write error, I was interested to see what media has been successfully burned by my drive (an HP 740b DC 24).

 

Secondly: I'm trying to burn a DL DVD recognized as type RICOHJPN-D00-01. It is having errors while trying to write the LeadIn. It doesn't appear that it's even started burning. Are the DVD's still usable or are they trashed at this point? Anyone have any idea why the write errors would be occurring? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Here's the log: (try to ignore the fact i apparently did a build twice....)

Thank you for your time. I updated the firmware on the HP 740b, bought some Verbatim DL, but still have same exact write errors. I've only burned a couple of SL DVDs with this drive before using Nero, but never tried a DL. Maybe the drive is a POS. I just love computers. Why can't these hardware manufacturers get anything right?

[Kenadjian]

Why can't these hardware manufacturers get anything right?

Because they can't???

All jokes aside, did you burn the verb at 2.4X? If not try that.

 

Can you also post the log from the failed verb burn please?

 

Maybe the drive is a POS.

This is also possible.

Hey there, Kenadjian..... Yes, it was burned...or should I say <not> burned... at 2.4X. The log was posted in the first post of this thread. Your thoughts are more than welcome...

Not to butt in here but there is a firmware update for your burner stickbuilt.

I think this may be your problem.

IYE, YI, YI!! Well... that relieved some eyestrain! I'm not sure which to thank you for! Actually, I just updated the firmware yesterday before I attempted the verbatim burn.

[kevdriver]

Destination Device: [1:1:0] HP DVD Writer 740b HI24 (F:) (ATA) The firmware shown here is HI24. The HP website is showing HJ24 for the most current firmware. Maybe another update came out? Where did you get your update from?

From the HP website. I sent them an email and told them I was having write errors on ricoh and verbatim DL's. perhaps that was the cause of the update??? nooowayyyy.... but I'll try the update now. THANKS for pointing that out!

[kevdriver]

Your Welcome stickbuilt. Get back to us and let us know how its going.......

[stickbuilt]

Your Welcome stickbuilt. Get back to us and let us know how its going.......

 

hmmmm.. something's not right here. THe HI24 update (the one I did yesterday) has a release date of 2006-08-23. The HJ24 update has a release date of 2006-March. According to the dates, I've got the latest one. Do you suppose that the HJ24 has some updates that the HI24 doesn't include?

[kevdriver]

I think it might, Don't really understand why HP is showing HJ as being the newest even though it has a earlier release date then the HI firmware.

 

 

These are for the HJ firmware

 

Enhancements

 

Write Strategy Update for recording quality improvement

CMC DVD+R 16X <LI>RITEK DVD+R 16X <LI>RITEK DVD+R 8X <LI>MBI DVD-R 16X <LI>CMC DVD-R 8X <LI>MBI DVD-R 8X <LI>CMC DVD+R DL 2.4X <LI>RITEK DVD+R DL 2.4X <LI>MKM DVD+R DL 8X <LI>MKM DVD+RW 4x

 

Flash your unit to HJ firmware and see what happens....... you can always flash it back again if neccessary.

[kevdriver]

stickbuilt, just double checked again, HP is definitely showing HJ as the current newest firmware........

Okay... here's what I did. I updated with HJ, and then updated again with HI. It's currently burning (at 13%) the Matrix brand DVD (RICOHJPN-D00-01) (which it wouldn't do before). Amazing! I will try the verbatim after this one completes and let you know how it goes. HEY... THANKS for helping me out! And that goes to everyone who posted!

 

HP was really informative about the history of updates... NOT!!

[kevdriver]

Cheers stickbuilt, let us know.......

Just an additional thought... You know.... with all the horrible news you see in the headlines everyday about people who are nothing but scum sucking bottom feeders, it's a nice feeling to have complete and total strangers from who knows where give you a helping hand. Gives a person a little hope for the world.

 

why do I have this feeling I'm going to be dreaming about boobs tonight?????

[kevdriver]

Breast assured....... I dream about em every night............

[stickbuilt]

Breast assured....... I dream about em every night............

 

 

well... so much for Matrix... it failed at 50%. Hmm... let's try the verbatim...

[kevdriver]

if your burning to D/L media, make sure your write speed is 2.4X.......... Could you post a log again of your next failed burn attempt. You might want to leave your burner firmware on the HJ update without reflashing back to HI firmware.

here's the log for the RICOHJPN-D00-01 attempt. you may be right about the flashing. It just failed on the verbatim. Didn't even get started.

Your right back to where you started with this HI firmware....... hmmm...... try flashing to HJ firmware only and then try the burn again using your Verb media. Have you ever cleaned the burner using one of the available lens cleaner kits, pretty cheap and easy, just put it in burner and let it spin around and do its job. Just a thought, depending on how old your unit is.

The drive is about 1 year old. I think I've actually only burned 1 DVD of a home video on a SL DVD using Nero. So it's had very little use... although that has no correlation to the dust that may have blown through the unit in the past year... I flashed back to HJ and tried to burn another Ricoh. It failed to initiate the burn. Unfortunately, I toasted my last Verbatim on the last attempt. I'll have to pick up some more tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll try a HJ burn on the verbatim. Here's the log for the ricoh with the HJ:

kevdriver, my friend.... thanks so much for your help tonight. I'm calling it a day.. Morning comes far too fast... not enough time for dreaming... especially tonight!!

THANKS again! I'll be back for another try tomorrow. It'll soon be time to make a decision on whether to just buy a drive that's known to work. I've toasted $20.00 worth of DVDs (3 Verbs and 7 Matrix). Too much more of this and I'll have been able to buy a new drive!

 

Take care my friend.

Been doing some checking around and your not the only one having problems using this model of burner to do D/L discs. Quite a few people are having difficulty with this burner and firmware updates don't seem to help. Perhaps another forum member will read this and perhaps have another angle on solving your problems.
