black lines on burned dvds

[redbud367]

The last 5 dvds I've burned using img have left 2 black marks around the disc causing distortion during the movie what is causing this to happen? Could it be burn speed or is there some other type of problem.

2 black marks?!

 

Have you accidentally put a marker pen in your drive?

 

Ok, seriously, it must be some sort of hardware glitch if it's burning the disc so badly that they turn black - I didn't even know that was possible!

 

A photo of one of the discs in question might help us understand exactly what it is that you're seeing.

hi ,

I'm new to this board but i'm expiriencing a similar problem

 

one line near centre of dvd and another about 1 cm from outside edge of disk

 

using clickit4me, dvd decrypter, dvdshrink and imgburn 2.3.2.0

 

8x dvd-r gigatain in lg burner

 

when burning at 4x what happens is start of burn ok then burn speed drops to 3.6 for a couple of seconds

then returns to 4., later in disc it happens again

i'm thinking these are write errors

 

if i burn at 2x very rarely any problems but img defaults to 4x even though set at 2x

ImgBurn doesn't default to anything... 4x and 8x are the only speeds your drive supports on that media.

 

Verify your burns and then you'll be able to tell if the drive is burning the discs ok.

 

Other than that, we can't really help you with whatever these black lines are. It's impossible to imagine such a thing, and it's certainly nothing to do with any software.

thanks for fast reply

just thought as someone else was having the same or similar problem it might have been a bug , it some times happens with nero so you got me thinking it might be a problem with hardware

 

thanks for info i'll try verifying on next burn

im going to ask anyway , have you checked the blank discs before burning them o confirm its afetr burning the black lines show up ?

also, your not using one of those press things to stamp a label on the disc are you ?
