Disc not Finalising for DVD+R

[Racer_XO]

I am using ImgBurn to back video files and having issues using a DVD+R disc, but I am able to use a DVD+RW disc. This is the information from the log:

 

W 15:48:08 Potential 'WaitImmediateIO' Deferred Error - (99%, 0/3) - Program Memory Area Update Failure

W 15:48:08 Finalise Disc Failed! - Reason: Program Memory Area Update Failure

W 15:48:08 Retrying (1 of 3)...

 

I have rebooted my PC and still receive this error. I have more than 1.5GB for free memory. I tried different brands of DVD+R discs and still can not finalise.

Post full log.

 

Also update storage drivers if writer is attached to pci card / sata port etc.

 

If using a motherboard with Via or Nvidia chipset use standard Ms drivers instead of the Via/Nvidia storage drivers.

Sounds as a Lite-On.

Actually, the latest firmware available for your burner is SB02, which you can download here. Remove any disc from the drive and close the tray before applying the update. Reboot after it has finished.

 

Try burning at 8x or 12x on those discs and it might work. If it doesn't, get Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden media, as both manufacture high quality blanks. By the way, you should leave Verify enabled, as that ensures the disc was properly burnt

The video files burn correctly, ImgBurn will not finalise the disc (Only DVD+R, I can finalise a DVD+RW disc with the same files). I am able to view the disc on my PC, but not able to watch it on my DVD player. Thanks for the firmware update. I looked at Samsung USA and they only have SB01. I will update firmware and try again.

 

I downloaded the newer firmware for my DVD drive and now it has crashed and I am not able to get it to work. Help!!! The firmware update did not work. Help!!!

For drives that throw up the 'Program Memory Area Update Failure' error you might want to disable the auto retries on finalisation failure.
