bobo12345 Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 The laptop is a newish HP Pavilion dv9623cl. Drive is a Pioneer DVR-K17. All the burning programs I've tried fail on the DL disks, usually around the layer break. I am just burning data DVDs. I used the build function in ImgBurn to build an ISO, then tried burning it - failed at 50%. The media are Memorex 8x 8.5GB DVD+R DL. I am recording at 2.4x Roxio failed as well at 50% Any suggestions would be appreciated - I've created many coasters so far.... Here is the log: I 00:38:24 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 This one is pretty simple, don't use anything except Verbatim DVD+R DL media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobo12345 Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 This one is pretty simple, don't use anything except Verbatim DVD+R DL media. so the Memorex discs are a waste of money? or do they work better in other burners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste of time and money! Use Verbatim, burn at 2.4 X and enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lfcrule1972 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Verbatims really are the only option for DL's as you have now found out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
