Problem during verification

teddy · June 7, 2007

Whenever I burn a DVD image, during the verification process I get this error:

This is the log after I click on 'cancel'

If the drive can't read back what it just wrote, there's certainly a problem somewhere.

I'd start by updating the firmware on the drive to the latest version.

I just updated, restarted my computer and tried to burn another image but got the same error

**volvofl10** · June 9, 2007

does it do it with all media, or just the kind you used in the log above ?. could be the drive doesnt like the media you used above

teddy · June 9, 2007

I'm not sure, I only buy 16x Verbatim DVD-R, I've never tried anything else. I sure hope that's not it though because I just got a 100 pack...

**LOCOENG** · June 9, 2007

Post a new log with the new firmware please...

teddy · June 10, 2007

I get the same error message as posted above, and this log is after I click on cancel:

Teddy, Your burner appears to be writing all right just can't read back what it just wrote. Maybe your burner is dying or else it just like that type of media. Can you try getting a couple of +R discs and try those ? :mellow:

teddy · June 12, 2007

all right, I'll try and find a +R to burn, but if my dvd burner was dying what is recommended as a high quality burner? and preferably lightscribe but i can live with out

**LOCOENG** · June 12, 2007

Pioneer, Samsung, Lite-On, LG, Plextor....light scribe is really just eye candy and the fun wears off quickly IMHO, I'm a sucker for gadgets and it only took my about 3 LS covers to make up my mind.

teddy · June 13, 2007

ah, lite-on is what i have now, but it still might be failing eh? (I still haven't found a +R yet)

teddy · June 13, 2007

I just tried another burn, because I have to get these images off my hard drive, and this one worked completely, is something noticeably different?

It actually wrote at 6x, rather than the 8x you've selected. Some drives do this when they detect poor media quality.

teddy · June 13, 2007

Why would it be poor media? I was told Verbatim are the best next to Taiyo Yuden? Should I get TY next time? I looked at their site but it didn't seem like they did online orders so where would I get them?

Also, because it worked at a slower speed I tried burning at 5x, but it appears to have burned at 6x anyway, and it failed.

**LIGHTNING UK!** · June 13, 2007

Your discs should be fine. I personally prefer the DVD+R's from Verbatim to their DVD-R ones. I prefer the DVD-R Taiyo Yudens to the DVD+R ones though, so it all works out ok in the end!

Try giving your drive a clean with a lens cleaner. If it can't burn decent media properly, it's probably on it's way to the drive retirement home in the sky.

teddy · June 14, 2007

I cleaned it today and did another burn and same error.

Is this just something that happens, because I have a drive brand that LOCOENG recommended

**LOCOENG** · June 14, 2007

How old is the drive...how many good burns have you got out of it? Nothing lasts forever.... if you were happy with the drive up to now and have had a good time with it in the past don't hesitate to get another one.

teddy · June 16, 2007

I've had it for about a year and a half, and about 200-300 burns? I'm not really sure.

I was happy with it, but I thought they would last longer than that

Vegas · June 16, 2007

I have a really dumb q...

I thought I was back in business w/burning, b/c I was able to burn an ISO file I had saved on my computer--the disk came out fine. However, now I'm trying to burn another movie. It writes it to the HD as an ISO file, but when I try to write it to a blank disc, my problems begin. First, at 100%, it spits the dvd I'm burning out. Then it says the device is not ready. What am I supposed to do at this point? Do I put the dvd I'm burning to back in? If I do, I receive an I/O error just like Teddy's. But, once I tried putting the orginal dvd (the one I'm burning) in when it reach 100%, and did not get an I/O error--the process continued (although I'm not sure what it was doing). Either way, the dvd I thought would now contain the movie is still blank. I'm trying it again right now...

Thanks for any help you can give me!

**LOCOENG** · June 16, 2007

@teddy

I've been fortunate to have my NEC and BenQ for around 3 years with around 1000 burns each on them and they are still going strong. I know a lot of Litey owners who have had their drives for a long time and are still using them as well...could be you just got a bad drive.

@vegas

Post a log please.

Vegas · June 16, 2007

Have NO idea what this all means. It will write the original disk, and once again when I insert the blank disk, it reaches 100%, then ejects it. I get this I/O error when I reinsert the disk I'm trying to write to:
