hi... everytime i tried to burn animes with a dvd disc but it always appear this msg it says I/O error (2a/05/30/05) - Cannot write medium - incompatible format and always fails burning what should i do? i can use CDs to burn successful but not with DVDs
What programs are you useing? What brand and media code are your blank discs? What make, and model dvdrw do you have and what is the firmware vs?
im using Iomega HotBurn Pro Imation i-crystal dvd blank disc DVD-R 4.7gb/120min 8x how do i check my dvdrw model and wats firmware vs? sry im a noob at this
Is that a movie you are trying to backup (I don't know what animes is)? I'm not familiar with iomega hotburn pro. Is that a burning rom or transcoding program? Use this program and tell me the make, model, and revision of your dvdrw drive. Then click the media tab and tell me the media ID. http://www.vso-software.fr/inspector/inspector.htm Sorry, I need more info to help get ya going. You can't just copy a dvd straight to a dvd5 unless it is less than 4.38 gb and doesn't have any css encryption. You will normally need a program like dvd decrypter to break css encryption and dvd shrink to compress it to a dvd5. Mort

You have to have one of your blank discs loaded in your dvdrw and if you have more than 1 drive the drive with the disc in it must be selected in the drive tab. Your firmware is outdated. Yours is 1.20 and the current is 1.22. This update will help your drive recognize more media and could be your problem or part of it. http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1623
ok heres my media tab Physical Information Media Type : DVD-R Capacity : 4.38gb Media IC : CMC MAG.AE1 Sectors : 2297888 free Speeds : Layers : 1 http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1623 <---after i click on this website which 1 do i click? i tried to click on 1.22 but The page was not found
Looks like your problem is most likely the blank media you are useing. Cmc mag is one of the worst media manufactures there is and causes more problems than any other media I know of. Try some better media. Most any media will work for backing up files but for video reproduction you need good, proven, high quality media such as verbatum, taiyo yuden, maxell, sony mij, fuji mij (mij = made in japan), branded ritek ridata, Stay away from memorex, HP, phillips, no name, and retail store branded media eg. staples, compusa. Keep the burn speed to 4x. I couldn't get anything on 1.22 either. Website is down. Flash your drive with the 1.21 for now and try the 1.22 later. When you flash you drive with updated f/w make sure you follow the directions carefully, don't have a disc in the drive, don't loose power or power down your pc, and if you have more than 1 drive make sure you select the correct one. Good luck and good night. Bed time for me. Mort
after reading what u said i went to buy a maxell disc and tried to burn and it burned perfectly.thanks for the help ^ ^
teach and learn. glad it worked for you. you can also buy the others mort listed for you as well. places like circuit city, best buy, wal mart (where i assume you got the maxells), even online.... supermediastore.com has em. good luck.
I know jr's still my man. He's out of the chase this year but maybe he has learned his lesson and will get his shite togather next year. I don't do much with data format so my answer would have to be not much. Mort
thats ok, i was just asking, with this new dvd player i have, it plays 'data' and i can't tell a difference in quality. i can put large files on dvd and watch them... its really cool !
