bigred5379 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I've been using this Verbatim media for 6 months and all of a sudden I start getting these neet round softdrink coasters. I can't burn anything now and don't know why. Here is my last burn log from Imageburn. ; //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 - Log ; Sunday, 13 May 2007, 07:35:46 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 07:30:01 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!

spinningwheel Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Bigred; Have you tried cleaning the laser head? Any cd/dvd cleaner will do the job. If you can't make any media work you might have to look at a new drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfcrule1972 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I agree with spinner, if slowing the burn speed (Corny's suggestion) and cleaning the lens doesn't work you might need a new drive. The other Verbs that burnt ok in the past were they the same media ID i.e. I 07:32:06 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: MCC 03RG20) (Speeds: 6x, 8x, 12x, 16x) ? Find one of the older ones and pop that in your drive and see if they are the same - it could be your drive doesn't like these discs if they differ to the ones that burnt ok ! In which case you would have to wait and see if a firmware update is available in the future (you are using the most current now) to fix it.
