Folders burning as 0k files

Recommended Posts

I have a Sony DVD burner and I have successfully burned DVDs in the past. I always burn the same two folders to the DVD (basically, I am backing up data).

 

I recently upgraded to 2.4.2 because I was having problems burning DVDs (it would fail in the middle of the burn). I am using Memorex DVD+R DL disks. Version 2.4.2 burns and verifies successfully, and the size of the files on the DVD is 5.43 (GB), which is correct, but yet when I look at the DVD through Windows, instead of seeing the two folders I burned onto the DVD, I see two files 0K in size.

 

I don't know what is wrong. Please help. Thanks.

Attached is my most recent imgburn log. I actually ran out of DVDs, so when I go out I will buy Verbatim and see if that makes a difference (however, I have successfully burned using the Memorex DVDs in the past several times without a problem).

 

Also, the two folders that I am backing up are named 'VSS' and 'UpdatesNET'. The VSS folder is our Visual Sourcesafe database and UpdatesNET is a folder containing all of our software updates (just a bunch of EXEs, zip files, and aspx pages).

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Why is your machine unable to burn at an average rate of above 1.4x?

 

If the source files are on a network drive and it's really that slow, make an image first and then burn it.

 

You'll be riding the BURNProof feature for the entire burn otherwise and that's never a good thing.

 

The image file you burnt that did actually verify ok should work just fine.

 

Take a look at the disc via IsoBuster and see if it looks ok that way... it might just be Windows playing silly buggers.
