Hey guys,

I get the aboe error msg when I try to burn an iso file. Really weird as I have ben using this software for weeks without any problems, using the same drive, media and iso maker!

 

Log file is here:

I 17:41:30 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!

I 17:41:30 Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition (6.0, Build 6000)

I 17:41:30 Total Physical Memory: 1,046,400 KB - Available: 183,036 KB

I 17:41:30 Initialising SPTI...

I 17:41:30 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices...

I 17:41:31 Found 1 DVD-ROM and 1 DVD

That error is from the drive so basically it's just decided it doesn't like the media you're using.

 

I assume you've tried others from that spindle?

 

You'll probably just have to buy some different discs - Verbatims DVD+R's or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R's are about the best going.

cheers lightening, other discs from that spindle won't work, but have another spindle from the same manufacturer that work ok for now! will remember to buy verbatim next time!

Remember that it's not the manufacturer you need to look out for, it's the dye the discs use.

 

Verbatim's are MCC / Taiyo Yuden dye and Taiyo Yuden's are of course Taiyo Yuden dye!

 

Even though you have 2 spindles of the same 'brand', they might be using different dyes - hence why one works and the other doesn't.
