Agnes Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Sorry for disturbing you - but I suddenly had two failures with different burners to write DVD DL. No problems before with the same acme DVD + R DL disks on both devices. First time, it was just frozen after trying to retry: I 21:49:33 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 CMC make rubbish discs (dyes), you have to expect them to fail. That's why I made this thread - http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000 Buying a certain brand doesn't mean you'll get the same dye each time (verbatim / taiyo yuden are the exception). As for the 2nd drive, that's a USB chipset / controller / enclosure combo problem. You can google search for 'The semaphore timeout period has expired' and read loads of junk about it if you so wish.
