bobshowrocks Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I have been using Imgburn for awhile and it seems after I got a new spindle of discs I was unable to burn DVD-Rs using any program on my computer. In Imgburn I get an error message saying E 12:32:11 Failed to Reserve Track! - Cannot Write Medium - Incompatible Format. My VHS to DVD copier works fine with these discs and I even went out and got another spindle of DVD-Rs made by a different company. Those didn't work so I flashed drive's firmware and its still not working. Am I just vitim of a bad batch of discs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornholio7 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 if i remember rightly , the nec1300 is a +R only writer , so you need +R discs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobshowrocks Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 I maybe wrong, but the NEC's website lists it as a +/- R and +/-RW drive. I could have sworn I used -Rs before, but it could have been +Rs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornholio7 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 it must have been the 1100 i was thinking of sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polopony Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 yeah the 1300 does + and - but the discs you're using (I 12:57:29 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: ProdiscF02)) aren't all that good change media Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden are the discs to choose I find it strange that it doesn't list any supported write speeds .

bobshowrocks Posted December 24, 2006 Author Share Posted December 24, 2006 Alright, I'll go out and get some DVDs from one of those companies. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 When is doesn't list any supported write speeds, it's normally because the media id isn't in the firmware table at all - i.e. it has no idea HOW to burn that media (it's not supported).
