Here is the error i got using imgburn when trying to write to a Memorex+R DL disc.

 

W 16:14:20 Failed to Write Sectors 2033248 - 2033279 - Reason: Invalid Address For Write

 

 

Can anyone help me understand what the problem is?

 

Using XP SP3

Burner: Pioneer DVR-111D (with latest firmware)

Media: Memorex+R DL 8x Max write speed

 

I'm tired of making coaster after coaster at $1.60 a pop.

 

Thanks,

Minipops.

You may want to try the other available write speeds, but that's low quality media anyway.

Low quality? Memorex is tried and true in the industry. They have been the most reliable media i have used, and i've tried em all, BenQ, Fugi, Verbatim, Kodak, Maxell, Memorex. Though i have only tested media in single layer dvd burning and not in Dual Layer, Memorex has never ever left me with a coaster, and thats no exaggeration either. Infact it baffles me that people are so positive about Verbatim media, because i tried it 5 years ago and could not sucessfully create a working, playable dvd. I'm quite new to the dual layer world so i am certainly willing to give them a try again. I'll certainly post if the change in media makes the difference (I doubt it will though).

 

Thanks for the reply mmalves

Memorex don't really make discs, they just use the dye made by some other company and stick their name on it.

 

Unless you're using MKM-001-00 or MKM-003-00 dye (which is all Verbatims use) discs, they're regarded as 'low quality' by most people that provide support rather than ask for it.

I'm really surprized by that. When i tried verbatim disc's back in the day, i actually could create a disc without write errors, but what i do now recall was when it went from my burner into my home dvd player.....that is where Memorex was the leader of the pack. When playing back a verbatim disc in my dvd player i would get small glitches and freezes, and usually close to the end of the dvd, but with Memorex and Maxell, i have literally thousands of glitch free dvd's. I'm not arguing your points or anyone elses, i'm just sharing whats been my experience.

[spinningwheel]

Understood...We can remember when Ritek, Maxell and Memorex were the cats ass also, but things have changed, corporate greed and the need for extreme profits have supplanted the need for quality....as well as the fact that the Asian Rim countries are now producing all the crap discs they can for major brands to rebadge and getting a pretty good penny for their efforts.

To check back into this thread. I'm pleased to say that the Verbatim+R DL disc's i've tried have worked! My first effort with the new verbatims i got failed. The beginning previews and warning screens worked, but when it came for the main movie, it just turned black on my screen and stalled. I used dvd shrink 3.2 in combination with nero burning rom 6.0.0.0. Next effort was with imgburn and that worked like a charm.

 

Thanks for creating imgburn and offering it as freeware!

 

Thanks to all the people that have commented in this thread.
