Problems Burning DVD's

[cakeman]

Hi all.
All of a sudden I'm having trouble burning DVD's. At first I thought it was Nero playing up as it kept failing on 1%. I tried to burn the same Video_TS using CloneDVD but again that failed. I tried DVDDecrypter by burning an image onto my hard drive, which worked fine, but when it come to burning it failed. I am using Ritek media and have used this type for months with no problems. Below is a log from Nero which might help.

Any help would be appreciated

1. The usual sin: Nero 6 plus Sonic software (or RecordNow). It's a no-go, get rid of one of them.
2. You shouldn't put your DVD burner as slave (as you have done).
3. For what it's worth, either upgrade your Nero6 to version 6.3.1.17 or to the wastebin- whatever works better for you.

Cheers SC. I took your advice and swapped my CD around & made my DVD master. I got rid of Nero which I was thinking of doing anyway & got Sonic RNM 4.61 but tried to burn one and it failed. Now I tried an old Datasafe DVD-RW which I've had for a while and it burnt fine. For a few months now I've been using the Datasafe 4X which have worked fine and always got them online but I bought a spool of 25 from a market stall in my home town and every one of them has failed. Can you get bad batches or "snide" DVD-R's as my DVD suddenly doesn't like this media

Can you get bad batches or "snide" DVD-R's as my DVD suddenly doesn't like this media<!-- / message -->

Yes especially that brand (the make is irrelevant use media with ritek G04)

PS RNowMax BEST version is 4.50

 

[cakeman]

Did you mean yes you get "snides" or yes you get bad batches? Either way its put me off this brand somewhat.
Whats the difference in 4.61 & 4.50?

 

[The-poacher]

snide 4.50 is older and more stable (different company I believe)

IDE1004 seems to be a BTC DRW1004IM - your firmware version identifies as 0043

There is also the auto-update - http://www.drvupdate.com/ - checks and cosses your update for you.

In the 1004 changelist....
From 0045 to 0047 - Write strategy for Ritek G04 modified, and a slice of other fixes.

Cheers LTR12101B. It turns out it was a driver problem and not dodgy DVD-R's as I first presumed - strange how it burned -RW's though. I downloaded the latest drivers and now its sorted.
Thanks for everybodys help
