I/O Error

[pwnon]

I didn't want to create a topic on this, but I've spent the past hour searching the forum and didn't find an answer that fixed mine. I'm trying to burn a copy of the Anonymous DVD Faith4Finance for an upcoming protest. I've never had problems burning DVDs with my computer until now. I get to the beginning, right after the start, and it I/Os. Any clue onto what's gone wrong here? Much thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome to the forum, pwnon!

 

I 13:04:15 Destination Media Type: None!

What type of disc have you inserted? It looks as your burner can't identify that media.

 

Is it a Dell computer?

[pwnon]

Yes, I've got a Dell Dimension 5150. I just noticed it isn't finding it either....

 

I'm using Dynex DVD+R discs, 16x, 120min, 4.7GB.

 

My drive (if not specified already) is a Philips DVD+-RW DVD8701

 

 

Oh, and thank you for the welcome.

There might be a later firmware for that Dell burner.

You now have

This one is DD26

Unfortunately, the Driver update did not fix the issue at hand.

[Cynthia]

Could you burn with the same brand (disc id) media before?

[pwnon]

Yes. I burned a DVD a few weeks ago off of this type of DVD. The drive still works because it reads other DVD discs (although, these are the only type I still have a blank of). I have a Nexxtech and a Verbatim +R discs, only these Dynex's are the only blanks I have at the moment.

[Cynthia]

Might be worth to try with a cleaning disc if the laser head is dirty.

Go back and reread post number 2 if cleaning it doesn't work. The drive doesn't recognize the disc, there is very little if anything you can do for that problem except go to a different dye type.

[pwnon]

That was a weird problem. I tried six discs of the same type, none of them could be found (and coincidentally, those were all the discs I could find). I ended up biting the bullet and buying new discs last night. Sony DVD +R. Did the trick and now I just have to burn 50 of these movies. >__<

 

 

 

Thanks for your help. Love the program, works beautifully.
