Session Fixation Error

[archy]

I am having a slight problem when burning with ImgBurn in the form of: Deferred Error - (0/2) - Session Fixation Error Writing Lead In, Deferred Error - (0/2) - Write Error & Disc Failed! - Reason: Session Fixation Error - Incomplete Track in Session.

 

After reading a similar post in your forum in which a filmware upgrade was recommended I went to the HP web site and downloaded an upgrade for my HP DVD Writer 640c.

 

Prior to the filmware upgrade 8 out of my 10 pervious burns were failures. Hence I was very discouraged and about to give up on DVD burning.

 

My first burn after upgrading the filmware went off without any problems which was very encouraging. The second burn after the upgrade was a disaster a took the wind out of my sails. I did not try a third burn.

 

I am using Maxell DVD+R Disks.

 

The log of the second burn:

All that's happening is that your drive is failing to write to those (of questionable quality) discs.

 

Don't give up, just get rid of them and buy some Verbatim (MCC dye) or Taiyo Yuden ones instead.
