Can't burn DVDR#DL anymore with my Pioneer DVR-111D

[Nasdaq]

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and hope that you can help me. First of all here's my hardware setup:

 

Pioneer DVR-111D Firmware 1.29

Verbatim DL and Mediarange DL

Windows XP

 

I used ImgBurn in so far to create XBOX 360 copies and everything went fine. Layerbreaker is set. But since 2 days it doesn't work anymore. I tried to use the writer on my USB port and internally via IDE. But the errors remained the same.

 

 

I 11:03:48 ImgBurn Version 2.4.1.0 started!

I 11:03:48 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 2)

I 11:03:48 Total Physical Memory: 2.095.532 KB - Available: 1.487.192 KB

I 11:03:48 Initialising SPTI...

I 11:03:48 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices...

I 11:03:58 Found 1 DVD-ROM and 1 DVD

And here's the second error which I sometimes receive:

 

I 20:40:01 Writing Sectors...

W 20:40:02 Failed to Write Sectors 171392 - 171423 - Reason: Das Zeitlimit f

W 11:09:29 Failed to Write Sectors 279264 - 279295 - Reason: Logical Unit Communication CRC Error (ULTRA-DMA/32)

Change your current data cable for a new 80-wire IDE cable, plug only the burner and set it to Master. Also look for updated drivers for your motherboard chipset.

Hi mmalves,

 

thanks for your reply. The writer is set on master and I changed the cable. I still receive the same error. And I can say, that it's no problem to burn with nero, e.g. a rewritable DVD. The problems just appear if I try to burn a Dual Layer disc. It's very curious that I never had any problem before. Now it's not working anymore with ImgBurn and CloneCD.

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers

What's the brand and model of your motherboard? Are you using the latest chipset drivers available? If the cable is OK then a driver, or possibly some setting in the motherboard's BIOS, is messing up the communication with the burner. Also please post your filter list (Tools/Filter Driver Load Order click the clipboard button and paste in a new post)

You have DMA issues somewhere along the line - otherwise the drive wouldn't be reporting that error.

 

That error is common on newer motherboards that don't have an IDE port on the chipset and have to use a jmicron controller or something - in which case you need to be using the shortest cable possible.

 

It's probably easier to just pick up a Silicon Image 680 PCI card and run the drive off that.
