Cynthia Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hi and welcome to the forum, Toni! I 14:29:16 Write Speed: 1x I 14:29:16 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: RICOHJPN-D01-67) (Speeds: 2.4x, 4x, 6x) The available speeds are 2.4x, 4x, 6x. The ones supported by the writer). For the 1x I guess it uses a generic write approach. Might try one of those speeds. Tried to find an updated firmware for that writer (A Dell?) but no luck. You might get better luck with Verbatim 2.4x rated discs (Made in Singapore) as the ones you use can be tricky in older writers. Focus Servo Error might indicate a faulty writer, but I guess you doesn't have any issues burning other branded discs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The laptop is an Acer, not Dell and was brand new at Xmas so it better not be a faulty writer lol. I have heard that Vebatim were the best but my husband has always used Aone discs on his tower which have always worked so if no luck with the speed change then will try the Verbatims. Thanks again, much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Laptop burners are picky about the media they can burn, so Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x (MKM-001-00 dye) Made in Singapore will probably work best with your burner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tried to burn again at 2.4X but although it went further it failed again. Does this new log tell you anything or do I need to try Verbatims?

Cynthia Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I do think you should try the Verbatims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 You chosing 1x would have meant the drive used 2.4x anyway as that's the nearest speed it supported. Try at 4x or 6x. Verbs are deffo the way to go though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p1ayerwun Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) I had the same problem, used the verbs in my laptop and they worked. Used my friends laptop and was able to write to two other brands that didnt work in my laptop. I've been using verbs for everything, you might as well pay the extra for the quaility. If your burning a game then i'm sure you can spend the extra. I would buy them online its alot cheaper than the shops. If your in the uk try ukdvdr.co.uk, they have very good value.
