failure to write DVD DL

Recommended Posts

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!

I 21:49:33 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 2)

I 21:49:33 Total Physical Memory: 523.760 KB - Available: 195.340 KB

I 21:49:33 Initialising SPTI...

I 21:49:33 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices...

I 21:49:33 Found 1 DVD

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.
