DVD+RW (TDK 8x) errors

[marco93]

Hi, anyone knows about this dvds : TDK DVD+RW 8x ?

I cannot write on it, I tried many programs, could format it sometimes but I get some errors at writing, erasing, formatting or after at reading.

And it accepts only speed 2.4x instead of 8x.

 

For example this error at writing (popup window) :

Synchronise Cache Failed !

Device [0:0:0] ...

Reason : Write Error

 

Here is the log :

And then, the dvd player doesn't stop showing that it is reading (green light).

So I eject the dvd manually after 10 min.

And when I put it back, windows shows it as "cd player" and says it cannot access to the drive.

If there are any firmware updates for your drive try the latest

[polopony]

its not the media that accepts 2.4x its your drives firmware that only supports that speed .Look for newer firmware and some different discs your drive doesn't like them very much

[dontasciime]

snap LOL

[lfcrule1972]

Bingo !!

[marco93]

okay guys, thank you. The pbm is that I already updated the firmware : HP13 (my pc is a HP Pavilion). So I guess there's no other way than getting others discs.

[lfcrule1972]

No it appears that your drive doesn't like those discs - sorry !
