dvd-girl Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 After Problems with Fujifilm Dual Layer Discs I bought Verbatims. Now I have the problem, that the drive tell me that the new discs are complete? This is the information: TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L532B DE04 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD+R DL Disc Information: Status: Complete Erasable: No Sessions: 1 Supported Write Speeds: 2,4x; 4x; 6x; 8x DVD?R DL Boundary Information: L0 Data Zone Capacity: 2.086.912 Changeable: Yes Physical Format Information (ADIP): Disc ID: MKM-003-00 Book Type: DVD+R DL Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 2 Track Path: Opposite Track Path (OTP) Linear Density: 0.293 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196.608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 16.580.607 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 2.283.519 Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Disc ID: MKM-003-00 Book Type: DVD+R DL Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 2 Track Path: Opposite Track Path (OTP) Linear Density: 0.293 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196.608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 16.580.607 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 2.283.519 What's wrong?
lfcrule1972 Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Is the above information obtained before you have burnt the discs ? Is there a newer firmware available for your drive ? I tried a quick search over at www.rpc1.org but couldn't find anything, you can look yourself from the ImgBurn Gui window. Right click where you can see your drive (left of window) and then select Firmware Update from the list, if there are any available it should find it for you. Maybe an updated firmware will fix the problem.
kevdriver Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 dvd-girl, apparently you do have the lastest firmware for your drive: TS-L532B Could you do another burn and then post the log of the burn so we can see whats happening. As lfc said, was the above info taken after a burn? Throw a fresh blank disc into your drive>open Img>copy and paste the info from the window on the right. PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-111D 1.29 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD-R Disc Information: Status: Empty Erasable: No Free Sectors: 2,298,496 Free Space: 4,707,319,808 bytes Free Time: 510:48:46 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 4x, 6x, 8x, 12x, 16x Pre-recorded Information: Manufacturer ID: SONY16D1 Recording Management Area Information: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-111D This will give us more info.
dvd-girl Posted January 22, 2007 Author Posted January 22, 2007 I didn't burn a verbatim-disc yet, cause imgburn tell me that the disc (all 5 of my new package) is already completed, so I couldn't burn anything on the disc. I already installed the firmware from the dell support. When I put my platinum-DL in the drive, imgburn says it's empty. Another platinum was said to be completed too, I don't know what the problem could be.
dvd-girl Posted January 22, 2007 Author Posted January 22, 2007 How old is this laptop burner? I bought it with my laptop about 14 month ago, I think.
kevdriver Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 It wouldn't be unheard of for a drive to be on its way out after 14 months. This is just a supposition though and one of the other guys may have other options to help you. What other burning software do you have on your laptop, windv, etc........
polopony Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 try to read the disc on a friends computer and see what you get
dvd-girl Posted January 23, 2007 Author Posted January 23, 2007 I've just talked to Dell and they think that the drive doesn't work proper and i'll get a new drive. I hope this solve the problems with dual layer discs.
kevdriver Posted January 23, 2007 Posted January 23, 2007 Once you get that new drive up and running try the burn again and let us know whats happening.
lfcrule1972 Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 Sounds likely doesn't it ? Are Dell replacing it under warranty ?
dvd-girl Posted January 26, 2007 Author Posted January 26, 2007 Sounds likely doesn't it ? Are Dell replacing it under warranty ? Yes, Dell is replacing it under warrenty. They've sent me a philips drive and it works fantastic! I've just burnt 2 discs and the verbatim as well as the platinum are recognized in the standalone dvd-player! Thanks for your help!
