mmalves Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 It means the drive wasn't able to burn that disc, and usually that happens due to low quality media. Can you post the whole log of that burn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I ask why are you trying to burn it to dual-layer media? By the way, this dual-layer media you have is low quality so that's why you're getting that error. I tried to find a firmware update for your burner but HP's site thinks I wanted drivers for the HP Deskjet 630 printer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornholio7 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 look at the file size (gb) and not the minutes, if it fits onto single layer media , thats all you need to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
