DL poblems!

[paddy69]

Hi!

HELP!

I have just started trying to burn DL DVD's in my Optiarc AD-5170A drive. I bought Verbatim + DL discs (8X), have managed to burn 1 disc by using Imgburn to make an image and then using Imgburn to burn to disc. I have upgraded the firmware after making some coasters but it is still not working. Here are some logs!

Any help would be VERY appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the forum, paddy69!

 

I 12:17:37 Source Device: [1:1:0] Optiarc DVD RW AD-5170A 1.12 (F:) (ATA)

Latest firmware version is 1.14.

Other than that, try to slow down the burning speed. 2.4x is the slowest. Right now you are burning at max (8x).

 

The Verbatims that generally works best with older writers are the one labeled 2.4x made in Singapore.

Hi! Cynthia!

Thanks!

 

The last burn I tried was with the updated firmware, at 2.4x speed, and I don't have a log because after "leaving it to it" and going to have a bath, I came back to an error screen and a frozen computer!

I am finding this rather frustrating! As I said, I did burn one DVD OK! The others have either appered to burn OK! then failed on verify, or had problems with finalising.

OK!

I have tried again with the older version of Imgburn

 

This is the log!

That 'older version' didn't look for errors during the finalisation stage.

 

In any case, the disc still isn't readable.

 

Yes you should give the MKM-001-00 discs a try if you can source them from somewhere. Just make sure they're the ones made in Singapore.
