Ezra Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Having problems since I updated to version 2.3.2 from 2.1. Possibly a problem with the settings?? Have burned 6 discs and none of them are recognised by either of my players or the computer. The BUP, IFO, VOB files are on the disc, but it is not recognised as a dvd. I tried 2 different disc types. Have never had a problem with either brand. All images made by dvd shrink and have never had a problem with it. On 2 of the discs I got the error FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME but clicked on continue. Verify ok. Tried a different burner and got the FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME error AND the write failed. Log below.

mmalves Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I 11:09:38 Destination Device: [0:0:0] _NEC DVD+RW ND-6100A 104D (D:) (ATA)I 11:09:38 Destination Media Type: DVD+R (Speeds: 2.4x, 4x, 6x) W 11:10:22 Failed to Write Sectors 0 - 31 - Power Calibration Area Error Power calibration errors mean that your burner doesn't support the discs you're using (notice that it didn't show the MID). Usually a firmware update can solve this problem, but I couldn't find one for your drive, except for cross-flashing. Try other brands of DVD+R media, preferably Verbatim, as, currently, your burner only supports the DVD+R(W) standard.
mmalves Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Also, this post from the FAQ tells you how to solve the "failed to lock volume" problem.
Ezra Posted August 19, 2007 Author Posted August 19, 2007 Ok thanks. That explains why the second drive/burner couldn't even burn the disc. I have found the discs actually DO work on the computer, just not on the DVD players. I've never had any problems playing backup DVDs before. The only change is that I updated to v2.3.2 which makes me think it's a problem with the settings. Discs verify ok and the data is on the disc. Also used Nero to burn one of the images and no problems there. Same drive, same image, same brand of DVDs. Recognised by both players. As for the FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME error that I'm get on both drives, haven't had any luck using Process Explorer to work out what has a handle on the drive. Any more suggestions?
blutach Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Reboot. Something's got a hold of it, for sure. Just type in Cdrom in process explorer's find dialogue box. Regards
LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Software can't get around power calibration errors. Either the drive manages it or it doesn't. It's not something the software has any control over what-so-ever. It's down to the drive/firmware/media combo. If support for the media is flakey, some could work while others don't.
dontasciime Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Having problems since I updated to version 2.3.2 from 2.1. Possibly a problem with the settings?? If your convinced of that why don't you press the defaults button in ImgBurn. If it starts working you will be convinced that you were right, then when it happens again where do you go from there.
