frostylv13 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hi, I'm new to this site and IMgbrn But I have been having difficulties trying to back up copies of dvds. I did everything by the tutorial with DvdFAb, DVD Shrink and Imgbrn. However the disc will not play in my dvd player. It will play in my computer though. The disc read error is regarding to "playback" and not having it, or something like that.(Not at home to give you exact error code) Could you help me figure this out before I go bonkers?

spinningwheel Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Still stuck? Create a new thread and describe your issue in detail. It's much easier for us if you include a copy of the program's log in your post. Did you happen to see this at the very top of the page.....please post a log from the burn. spinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinningwheel Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I 22:07:58 Destination Media Type: DVD+R (Disc ID: SONY-D21-00) (Speeds: 2.4x, 4x, 8x, 12x, 16x) Have you tried the media we recommend all over this board?

frostylv13 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 If you are referring to "Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden blanks " Then no, because I haven't seen that media available in my area. And as for the part about the "Sempahore Timed out" I don't understand what it is that you want me to do with that? I clicked the link, and read but I don't know otherwise what to do?

mmalves Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I 22:07:58 Destination Device: [1:0:0] PHILIPS DVD+-RW DVD8701 5D24 (D:) (ATA) Is that burner on a Dell computer? If so, there's firmware DD26 available for it. Remove any disc and close the tray before updating. Reboot after it has finished. Also try burning at 8x or 12x instead of MAX.

frostylv13 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Okay so I wrote it to disc and all but the ImgBurn window is still up, and counting time and the log and program says it is finalising disc. It has been doing this for I'd say about a half hour. Is this normal? What do I do from here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Not normal. Try to close down ImgBurn. You installed the firmware and rebooted the computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostylv13 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Not normal. Try to close down ImgBurn. okay i went to close it down and discovered it was verfying sectors...is this normal? I do have the "verify" box check. It is 28% through that right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Yes. That is normal. Let it continue. That way you know that the disc is ok. Can you post that log when it's done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostylv13 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Yes. That is normal. Let it continue. That way you know that the disc is ok. Okay I got worried there for a moment that I didn't catch it in time and was afraid it was ruined. Ha. I also have the eject disc box checked, after it verfys the sectors, (should) it then eject the disc or is there more to it? (yeah I am so a newbie to this program) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Yes. The tray will be ejected and then it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
