DJ Foo Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) Have been using imgburn to burn some images (ISO) Bought some discs a few months (3 different brands) to see which if any worked best. Woolworths DVD's didnt work (maybe that was a message from god) Kodak Discs - Worked perfecrtly Tesco DVD's - Worked perfectly all -R so couple of days ago decide to purchase the Kodak discs but on every single disc i burnt (4) i got the 'Unable to recover TOC' error message. not to worry i thought, so i took them back to the shop and explained they didnt work for what i purchased them for and got a refund. so to be sure i bought the Tesco discs again knowing that the 24 discs ive burnt previously worked great. 1st 3 discs i burnt from the new batch i got the same message!!! hmm, now baffled i wasnt sure what to do other google the issue. in the process of surfing for a solution i found the very last disc in my old pack of Tesco discs, popped that into my machine and burnt the image perfectly veryfied the disc and all is working great. so try a 4th disc of the same brand from the new pack again after getting success but no luck, i still get the 'Unable to recover TOC' knowing my drive is fine and burnt images perfectly before it cant be a driver issue with the drive. having a full pack of 25 discs that all burnt and now cant get a single disc to burn. strange one! heres my log anyway so if you got any ideas please let me know. Thanks.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Go back to a disc that you've burnt and verified ok in the past and see what dye it was, then go online and find somewhere selling discs that use that dye. I 01:15:57 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: UME01) (Speeds: 1x, 2x, 4x) The dye 'UME01' obvioulsy doesn't work in your drive. To be fair though it's about time you got yourself a new drive, your one isn't even capable of burning onto the DVD+ format discs.

Thanks for reply, have inserted a burnt disc of the same brand from diff batch and heres the report: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R5112 1031 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD-ROM Disc Information: Status: Complete Erasable: No Sessions: 1 Sectors: 2,294,912 Size: 4,699,979,776 bytes Time: 510:00:62 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 1x, 2x, 4x TOC Information: Session 1...

Do not work. if i thought my drive couldnt do the job id upgrade but knowing its all good id rather sort the issue out rather than avoid it by purchasing equipment that could well give me the same problem. Any other ideas relative to the 'TOC' issue? thanks
LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 If you can't find a firmware update for it and you aren't willing to try some (or show us a log if you already have?) decent media (Verbatim / Taiyo Yuden) then you're out of luck.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 I was asking for a log from the burn of a decent disc rather than just a log in general... yes the thing in your first post was a log Hopefully the firmware update will help you this time but your drive is still old and these things don't last forever. Not only that, the world of technology changes at a very fast pace. You've got a Model T Ford there where most people are now driving BMW M3's

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 Firmware is for the drive and the OS has nothing to do with anything. Stick 1034 on.

Dont spose there is a website for UK that tell what makers/products are and who they make them for etc ?? no worries if not, itll be either hit n miss on the discs or a new drive if i seem to miss more than hit.
DJ Foo Posted January 17, 2009 Author Posted January 17, 2009 www.svp.co.uk Found this link too... http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia/ Pretty good for the UK market, even has the Tesco home brand on there.
