problem when verifying

turtlemunky · November 8, 2008

hello, I've seen many old topics with this same problem but I never really found a solution.

I have tried burning a game to these DVD-Rs, and I have burned things onto them successfully before.

Recently I have been getting a problem about 60% through on verification. I have tried burning at the slowest speeds to ensure that there would be no problems, but nothing changed. This is the third time I've tried burning this specific image.

Hi and welcome to the forum, turtlemunky!

The 1x write speed is not supported in the firmware - so the writer is only using a very general writing strategy. So the slowest you should try with is 4x with that brand of media. You can see after the brands name - the supported speeds.

02:53:16 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: RITEKF1) (Speeds: 4x, 6x, 8x, 12x, 16x)

There has also been released a new firmware for that writer - SB01. You have SB00 installed. Try to update it.

If you update it:

No disc in the tray

Tray closed

Restart the computer after the update

I have the same burner model as you - but I never tried to burn with Ritek based media. Ritek is not considered as the greatest media on the earth.

Thanks for the quick response, I tried everything you suggested, but I'm getting the same error, just at 91% this time.

Have you tried burning at 8x or 12x?

Have you tried burning at 8x or 12x?

Could be worth a try. The burning results do differ a lot depending on the selected speed with this writer.
