bullzi Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I am new to ImgBurn and DVD burning in general. My first burn failed to verify. The following is the log from a Test Burn I did after updating the firmware on my DVD burner from 1.17 to 1.41. I've read the guides, faq, and found many examples of "semaphore timeout" in a search, but failed to understand most of the guidance. I appreciate any advice.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Is the drive connected directly to a motherboard mounted USB port? (i.e. not off a backplate cable or via a USB hub) Some USB controllers just don't like certain external enclosures. I doubt there's much you can do besides change it for a different one. The problem dates back a good few years now (with all burning software) and I'm not sure anyone really found the reason for the I/O commands to fail like that.

No hub, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
