Can burn video, but not data?

[jkessels]

I have a big problem: buring video DVD's works great, I can play them anywhere, but burning data DVD's fails spectacularly. It looks like sector zero is not written. I've tried several different ISO's from various sources, including freshly made new ISO's, Philips DVD-R and Sony DVD+R, lower burn speeds, different burn programs, new official firmware and new region-free firmware, two different burners (NEC 3550 and NEC 3510), but no joy. Burning movies works great, but why can't I burn data?

 

The ImgBurn Verify says:

I/O Error!

It's burning just fine. The problem is reading the data afterwards. Please get some decent media like Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim and try again. Almost everything else, including the disks you are using, is rubbish.

[jkessels]

The exact same media and hardware work perfectly for video, so it cannot be the media. And the data dvd's cannot be read in other machines, so again it cannot be the media. And Philips, Sony, and NEC are excellent brands. The only thing that is rubbish is your answer, you snob.

[Shamus_McFartfinger]

You really are a fuckwit. Alot of Sony media, including the crap you are using, has been outsourced to a company in Singapore. The media is shit. Sony Japan media is "Class A" media. Yours isn't. You'll get the same answer in every forum you visit. It would seem, however, that you've neither the fucking brains nor the wit to recognise an honest answer when you see one. Now, kindly fuck off.

I tend to agree with everything Shamus said except the NEC drive I believe to be quite good....the only intelligent choice made it seems.

[Shamus_McFartfinger]

Actually, I didn't say anything about the NEC drive - which I believe is quite good.

I take exception to your abusive language and have reported you to the admin of this forum.

[LOCOENG]

I must have misread...you did say Almost everything else... please excuse me while I go fuck off.

That's rich....mwahahaha

Good for you, idiot. It'll probably come as a shock to be told to fuck off a second time then.

I like to think of us all as one big happy family.

[Shamus_McFartfinger]

Yeah, just like The Osbournes.

You forgot to say "turn your head".

[LIGHTNING UK!]

The content of the image you're burning shouldn't even come into it.

 

If the drive says it can't read a specific sector, it can't read a specific sector.

 

Nothing I can do or say will change that.

 

What you have here is a hardware issue - or if it's software, it's something working at a lower level than ImgBurn, making it seem like a hardware issue.

 

As for reporting Shamus.... You started it by calling him a 'snob'. Don't give it out if you can't take it back.

I was looking at that too, but I was too lazy to actually google it.

That's why I like Mozilla/Firefox. It's got one of those double-click to highlight and right-click to search Google thingies installed.
