problem with lg 2164d and ricoh dl discs

[georginio21]

hello i'm a new user here with not too much experience.

i'm using ricoh dvd+r dl and an external dvd writer LG 2164D (firm1.01).

i'm trying to write discs at 2.4x speed but i am unlucky all the times. it stops from 60% to 95%. i have tried to write 2-3 different things in different speeds but it's the same result in every situation. i have "destroyed" approx 10 discs.

below is the log i get. it's almost identical every time.

 

 

I 22:14:21 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

I 22:14:21 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 3)

W 22:14:21 Drive I:\ (FAT32) does not support single files > 4 GB in size.

I 22:14:21 Initialising SPTI...

I 22:14:21 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices...

I 22:14:22 Found 1 CD-RW, 1 DVD-ROM and 1 DVD

i have seen that post but i wanted to post the log in order to be certain that there is no other more serious problem.

so verbatim is the way to go... i'll try them out and hopefully my problems will get solved. but those ricoh discs aren't cheaper (at least here in greece ). i hope the problem is the discs and not my drive...

 

thanks for the quick response.

it was the discs afterall. with verbatim dvd+r dl everything went ok.

 

thanks LIGHTNING UK.!
