Maradona10 Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) Hi, I have a LG GSA-4167B burner and use DVD-RW Verbatim 6x. When I want to burn the iso it doesn't write immediately to the disc I think because after says it's finished the tray goes open and close (in bold below) and writes the iso again. Don't see what it is doing. Didn't have that with DVD Decrypter. Also I don't know what the (in bold) errors are.

polopony Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 all OK, when the tray cycles the burn is already finished it then verifys that the ISO is exactly the same as the burned disc .That Log is a perfect burn
Maradona10 Posted March 20, 2007 Author Posted March 20, 2007 all OK, when the tray cycles the burn is already finished it then verifys that the ISO is exactly the same as the burned disc .That Log is a perfect burn But with DVD-Decrypter Burn-proof enabled (same as verify?) he didn't do that. So if I don't want that I have to disable verify?
lfcrule1972 Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Burn-proof is not the same as verify. Burn proof allows the burn to finish succesfully when their are issues over the speed your HDD sends data to the drive for an example. These could cause the disc to be crapped if not enabled Verify does as polo said, it cycles the tray and then checks the burnt .iso against the original image to ensure all is ok. If you really don't want this you can turn it off in the settings.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 I wonder why your machine can't keep filling the buffer quickly enough though... that's most odd as you've obviously got a decent pc if it's running Vista. Are you busying doing other stuff whilst burning? You should leave Verify enabled. It's the best way to know if you've just made a decent burn. If the verify fails, you've got problems - and clearly you'd never know about them if you don't use that feature.

Are you busying doing other stuff whilst burning? No, not doing anything else. My buffer is 20mb, is that too small maybe?
spinningwheel Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 My buffer is 20mb, is that too small maybe Leave the program set to defaults, it works best that way. If you're not doing something maybe the machine is anyway. Look at your processes and what you are loading at startup and see what you can do away with while working with IB. I use a proces/program killing app. called enditall 2 and it works wonders. I don't know if it works under Vista or not, you can check it out at PC Magazine. There are a lot of apps out there if it doesn't, just use GOOGLE for application killers...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 You could make it 40 just as a test but I would think it's still going to drop back down to zero and cause buffer recovery to kick in.
Maradona10 Posted March 20, 2007 Author Posted March 20, 2007 You could make it 40 just as a test but I would think it's still going to drop back down to zero and cause buffer recovery to kick in. I did it to 100mb and the errors were gone. I only have it on DVD-RW though.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Watch the buffer bar though, it should actually stay on 100% all the time because the HDD should be loads faster than the burner. Or perhaps that log you posted was just a fluke odd/bad one when the OS was indexing or something.
Maradona10 Posted March 21, 2007 Author Posted March 21, 2007 Well, I do think it is the buffer that was too low. Anyway my problem is solved so this topic can be closed. Thanks guys.
Maradona10 Posted March 21, 2007 Author Posted March 21, 2007 Maybe it was the "hand of God" ?? LOL Must be it!
