Error :(

[Scott1990]

Hi, well ive come across an error which i cant seem to get my head around.

 

I have used dvd flick to convert a .avi file and after it has been completed and imgburn opens i get this:

 

 

Ive had a lot of problems trying to burn dvds on this new computer and i have been trying for a couple of days now without any success, i am new to doing it.

 

Sorry if this has been posted before and i didnt see it or if it is a somewhat stupid question, but hopefully someone can help me out with my error, thanks a lot for looking.

 

Edit-

Looking at it again i have been told it could be a hardware problem..

Please post the full log of that burn. If I recall correctly DVD Flick saves ImgBurn's log in the same folder where the project is saved.

Please post the full log of that burn (you can find the logs at Help menu -> ImgBurn Logs).

Use better (write once) media, your drive doesn't like that dye.

[egor147]

21:18:47 Destination Media Type: DVD-RW (Disc ID: RITEKW01) (Speeds: 2x)
[...]
21:18:47 Write Speed: 4x

Or maybe try to set lower speed manually (1x-2x).

[mmalves]

Won't make any difference as you can't force the drive to use an unsupported write speed (ImgBurn will send the command as you've selected but the drive ignores it and uses a write speed closest the one you've selected).

[Scott1990]

Thanks for the replys.

 

mmalves - do you mean egor147s idea is not a solution to this problem?

 

LIGHTNING UK! - by that do you mean try a different disc to burn it onto instead of dvd-rw?

 

Again, sorry if this is a stupid question but i have been stuck for a couple of days now and i just really want to get this done.

You're using rewritables (DVD-RW or DVD+RW) and they just aren't as good as write once media (DVD-R or DVD+R).

 

Not only that, the DVD-RW you're using has a RITEK dye and that's awful at the best of times!

 

Get some decent Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R / DVD+R and you should be ok.

Also is there any way to clean a dvd-/+r disc incase i do make a mistake?

 

Again, thanks for all your help.

Personally I wouldn't bother with such a small pack, buy a spindle of 25.

I prefer Verbatim's DVD+R's to their DVD-R's. If I want DVD-R I go for Taiyo Yuden (TYG02 dye, 8x speed)

 

They're a lot cheaper at SVP though - http://svp.co.uk/category/dvd_plus_r_non_minus_printable/4/

Ok thanks, i'll get some Verbatim dvd-r or dvd+r's and will post the result later, thanks again LIGHTNING UK!.

[Scott1990]

Yep that works, thanks so much LIGHTNING UK!,
