DL burning problem. 100% then dead..., and I/O error.

[legacy]

I have new Verbatim 2.4x DVD+R DL discs. The ones with the purple dye.

 

I've tried burnig ISOs that have been extracted using both DVD Decrypter and ImgBurn; both with no read errors.

 

I always burn using 2x.

 

I always choose the MD5 file

 

Sometimes the disc gets to 100% then fails to finalize, sometimes it gets to 100% then does nothing overnight, sometimes I get errors that fail numerous retries.

 

I included a screen capture of one of the errors.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Update your burner's firmware to the latest version available (1.02) and try again

[blutach]

And next time please post a log. See the help menu.

 

Regards

I updated the firmware to the latest version.

 

Now i got this error:

 

Finalise Disc Failed!

 

Device: [1:0:0] PLEXTOR DVDR PX-740A 1.02 (F:) (ATA)

 

so i retry and get this:

 

Reason: Session Fixation Error - Incomplete Track in Session

[LIGHTNING UK!]

Try closing it again manually.

 

Click 'Tools' -> 'Drive' -> 'Close' -> 'Track/Session/Disc'.

 

Do all 3, in that order.

It's been burning well now. 10 duds total though. I'm having more success with DVD Decrypter than with ImgBurn though, I found that weird because i thought that they were pretty identical programs.

 

Thanks for all the help.

[LOCOENG]

Imgburn should actually be more reliable since it is seeing support whereas the latter isn't.

[LIGHTNING UK!]

DVD Decrypter didn't look for / see these errors.

 

It's new code within ImgBurn.

 

They'll still be there in both copies but only ImgBurn actually tells you about them.

 

Oh and yes, for the burning part the two programs are very much identical.
