Verify errors out at 50% everytime. It's not the media.

Eric N · April 19, 2007

It seems to write fine, but then gives me an error at 50% on verify everytime. SL media burns fine. Help.

Using IB 2.3.2.0.

Using Playo DVD+R DL 2.4x media but burning at slowest speed.

TSSTcorp DVD+-R TS-H653A with current firmware D500.

Here's why I know it's not the media... Just migrated from an older computer with a Pioneer DL drive that burned the same media fine with the same version of ImgBurn.

Here are the two most recent error logs...

Well you can see the problem, the drive won't read anything from the second layer and just times out. That's not the program timing out, that's the actual drive timing out.

Until you've tried some other DL discs (Verbatims), you can possibly say 'It's not the media'. Just because your last drive was ok with it, it doesn't mean your new one will be - clearly it's not.

Speak to Dell and ask why the drive can't read from the 2nd layer on that media. Maybe they'll fix the firmware?!

btw, attempting 1x with that drive/media combo isn't going to do anything.

The drive / program clearly states that only 2.4x is supported/possible.

Eric N · April 19, 2007

Understood.

So should I try a write again but at 2.4x speed or is it being forced to write at that speed already?

I'll try a new DL media. Sounds like Verbatim is the way to go, based on the posts on this forum.

**LIGHTNING UK!** · April 19, 2007

Nope, the drive would just ignore the 1x request and use the closest to it that it DOES support. No point in trying it again.

Yes, verbatims are the ONLY way to go!

Try to get the MKM-001-00 version (2.4x) rather than the MKM-003-00 (8x) ones. You'll probably have more luck with them because they're THE standard in DL discs.

Eric N · April 20, 2007

Thanks for your help, Lightning.

Just tried Memorex 2.4x DVD+R DL media. Same problem.

I just bought some Verbatim and I'm crossing my fingers.

Memorex error...
