I just burned a dvd with some folders around 8GB onto Disc ID: MKM-001-00 media

with my TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S203B SB04 (ATA) burner and I get weird errors when i try to verify the disc

You're verifying that 8GB disc against a 472MB image - is that on purpose?

 

BIN/CUE files should be burnt to a CD, not a DVD and certainly not a double layer DVD!

 

It's impossible to say that there's any problem when looking at the log above.

 

Yes there are miscompare errors (normally from bad memory or filter drivers messing things up) but it looks like you might just as easily be verifying against the wrong image.

well i the minute it got done burning and started verifying it errored out like that so i tried to verify one of the bin/cue files because there is serveral of them on there, basically i burned 4 bin/cue's on the dvd instead of burning 4 cds

 

yeah i was reading about the miscompares and it seems that something causes problems with DL dvds between this software and others, weird that its just DL dvds and not regular dvds

Do you think that it is a problem with the drive/program trying to verify the DL DVD and not the DVD itself so the DVD should be ok to keep then?

[LIGHTNING UK!]

W 21:31:07 Failed to Read Sector 237152 - Reason: Timeout on Logical Unit

 

See now that's a totally different problem.

 

Your drive is unable to read back that sector and is timing out - Samsung drives tend to do that after 10 seconds.

 

If the drive can't read the disc (and it's a data one) then it's pretty useless. Another drive might have more luck though. If it was a DVD Video disc you might find standalone devices are more forgiving, but it's not!

 

Where were your verbatim discs made? Look on the box / packaging / spindle / tub.

 

btw, adding 4 bin/cue's in build mode (which basically just backs them up) doesn't mean you can verify against any one of them - that won't work, period.

 

If you were trying to get a usable disc with the program somehow magically merging the 4 cd images into 1 bigger dvd image, you'll need to rethink things as it just doesn't work like that.

hmmm well heres the dvd structure

 

gameiso1\game.bin game.cue

gameiso2\game.bin game.cue

gameiso3\game.bin game.cue

gameiso4\game.bin game.cue

 

im just backing up files not extracting contents of cd images to my dvd , i guess the only true way to test this would be to install all of the games that I burned

 

these are from my orignal spindal from singapore the next spindal is from india

I hate to tell you, but I have that same drive, and it hate dl discs. I probably tried to burn like 100 and I've only gotten a couple of good ones. I got a new drive.
