gumby1987 Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Hi there, Have been using the latest version of Imgburn for a long while with no problems at all, then yesterday I received an I/O Error.

This is the message, don't know if it helps: I/O Error.

ThiefGold Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I just got the same error message. I'm new to imgburn, but the first time I used the program it ran fine and was successful, but the 4 discs since then are ruined due to this I/O error. Is it a problem with a faulty burner?
mmalves Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Try a lens cleaning disc on that drive. You might also want to try with Taiyo Yuden 8x (TYG02 dye) DVD-R media.
gumby1987 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 My latest batch of DVDS are DVD+Rs rather than -R... Would that cause it to go wrong? I've only used -R in the past but the shop didn't have any so I went with the +Rs (still Verbatim.)
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 The 8x verbs might have suited your burner better if that's all it can do on DVD+R media.
ThiefGold Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 It depends on what you're burning too. The files I'm running only work on the -R, when I tried +R they wouldn't even attempt to burn
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Data is data, you can burn it onto whatever media you like.
ThiefGold Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 You would think. But it wouldn't even attempt to burn on the +R
Del_Usion Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) I too am having a similar problem, but I did not have it under a previous version. It just started occurring since I just got around to upgrading to 2.4.2.0. I killed about 3 discs after I noticed that 1) when this happened I couldn't fully cancel out of ImgBurn (apparent crash) 2) my Liteon LH-20A1L kept blinking and wouldn't release the disc unless I rebooted and 3) the discs that were failures had a different amount of data on them despite failing at the same point. That last one got me thinking that the first two symptoms might indicate that the disc was actually still being burnt despite indications otherwise. After this started I switched to Nero to check myself and was able to burn there fine. Tonight I decided to try an experiment. I decided to let it go after the failure to see if the disc burnt. I got impatient after several minutes sitting on the first failure warning, and clicked retry, which I had tried with previous attempts but not after waiting a bit. This time it picked right up and completed the main track, but "failed" in the switch to the lead-out. I waited again, clicked retry, and the disc finished burning. Despite all of this, the disc verified okay! I don't know enough about the changeover from lead-in to main track to lead-out to know exactly what this means, but it definitely is strange.

gumby1987 Posted March 7, 2009 Author Posted March 7, 2009 Well I bought some of the Verbatim DVD-R I've always used and, although the drive has recognised it, it insists that there's always a session written on it. I tried it with another one, and, again, the same. Any suggestions?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Can you copy + paste the disc info from the panel on the right when you're in Write mode please.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 The discs in your original post were DVD+R, these are DVD-R. If your drive only supports 8x burning, you might be better off buying 8x discs - Taiyo Yuden TYG02 are about the best you'll get (I use them all the time). Of course the other option is to forget your internal drive exists and get yourself a new external drive (or internal drive in an external case).
