vampmaster Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) Ok first of all let me tell you I already did some archeoforology, and found most of this problems are caused by defective media. I thought you could be right since the file that I was trying to burn gave me the same error twice in a roll but on different percentage, so i assumed it wasn't the image, but the sony discs. Specially since i burned two verbatim with no problems. So i went and bought some more verbatim discs and the same image gave me the same error. I decided it could be the image... so I continued burning other xbox iso's. I was able to burn two more without and incident, and on the third iso (all of these are diferent iso's by the way not the same three times), it gave me an error... I came back here and since i had already rulled out the defective media, I also checked the firmware (which appears to be the latest for my drive AX03) and I read it could be caused by overheating. Since I normally burn while i'm playing WoW, the machine fans tends to work a lot ( I guess is the graphics card ), so I powered off, wait until it was totally cooled, and retry again. This time I did saved the log as follows: /// log started /// I 11:16:54 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

mmalves Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 I 11:20:40 Destination Device: [0:0:0] PHILIPS DVD+-RW SDVD8820 AX03 (D:) (ATA)I 11:20:40 Destination Media Type: DVD+R (Disc ID: MKM-001-00) (Speeds: 2.4x) I 11:20:40 Destination Media Sectors: 16,384,000 Your drive doesn't properly recognize the media, which is a very bad thing! It should be like this: I 23:45:51 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: MKM-001-00) (Speeds: 2,4x; 4x)I 23:45:51 Destination Media Sectors: 4,173,824 A firmware update could help this, but I couldn't find any. Could you try these blanks discs on another burner to check their Media IDs? Maybe you got the newer Verbatim 8x rated MKM-003-00 blanks and the drive didn't recognize them? That's a laptop burner, right? If I were you, I'd buy a normal-sized burner in an external enclosure and would use it for everything
vampmaster Posted August 15, 2008 Author Posted August 15, 2008 That's a laptop burner, right? If I were you, I'd buy a normal-sized burner in an external enclosure and would use it for everything I hear you... I was thinking about that because, at this rate (5.00 usd per disk) and i've already screw like 10, I would be 50 bucks into my new external burner. Now i do own a couple o desktop machines so please if you might tell me.. 1) Do i want to buy an internal for the pc, or an external to use on my laptop. 2) which if any you recommend that would work nicely with verbatim disks, to burn x360 iso's? thanks again a lot for the feedback.
vampmaster Posted August 15, 2008 Author Posted August 15, 2008 (edited) Your drive doesn't properly recognize the media, which is a very bad thing! It should be like this: Actually it seems it does recognize it now... it reads PHILIPS DVD+-RW SDVD8820 AX03 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD+R Disc Information: Status: Empty Erasable: No Free Sectors: 16,384,000 Free Space: 33,554,432,000 bytes Free Time: 3640:55:25 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 2.4x Physical Format Information (ADIP): Disc ID: MKM-001-00 Book Type: DVD+R DL Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 2 Track Path: Opposite Track Path (OTP) Linear Density: 0.293 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196,608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 16,580,607 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 2,283,519 Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Disc ID: MKM-001-00 Book Type: DVD+R DL Part Version: 1 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 2 Track Path: Opposite Track Path (OTP) Linear Density: 0.293 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196,608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 16,580,607 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 2,283,519 Does this seem to be the right info? BTW You are right every time it does burn the disk has : Destination Media Sectors: 4,173,824 and when it fails it reads: Destination Media Sectors: 16,384,000 Edited August 15, 2008 by vampmaster

I kept trying media until it recognized a disk properly , and then i proceed to the burn, and it burned ok... hence we fixed it. I will anyhow get a regular size one, but now we know something else. thanks a lot... vamp
