pwnon Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 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. I 13:03:54 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

Cynthia Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwnon Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) 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.

Cynthia Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 There might be a later firmware for that Dell burner. http://www.firmwarehq.com/download_1157-fi...120512.EXE.html You now have 5D24 This one is DD26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwnon Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Unfortunately, the Driver update did not fix the issue at hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Could you burn with the same brand (disc id) media before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwnon Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Might be worth to try with a cleaning disc if the laser head is dirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinningwheel Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwnon Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
