Criptych Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 For a while now, I have been having problems burning DVDs, not only with ImgBurn but with Nero 6 and Windows as well. I've tried burning a variety of ISOs, all five I/O libraries, and used Verbatim, Sony, HP, and "store-brand" media. No matter what, each time I get a series of warnings and errors similar to the following, about 100-200 MB into the burn. I 10:18:52 Operation Started!

What does "No Seek Complete" mean? And: "Next Writable Address: 0" -- WTF? What am I doing wrong? ("Using store-brand media" is not a valid answer. They used to worked just fine, too. )
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 If Verb +R's don't work at 8x you should probably throw the drive in the bin.
Criptych Posted December 8, 2008 Author Posted December 8, 2008 If Verb +R's don't work at 8x you should probably throw the drive in the bin. It's only a couple years old, though. I'm at a loss over what could have happened for it to suddenly stop burning DVDs. But I'll probably replace my CD-only burner (yes, I still have one!) instead of this drive, since it reads CDs and DVDs without a problem, and can still burn CDs just fine.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Set ImgBurn back to using the SPTI I/O interface too, ASPI is very outdated.
