Is it my DVD? Cannot burn DVDs...

Hello!!

Cutting to the chase, I've got a Sony Vaio VGN-S90PS (notebook), which comes with the MatSHITa UJ-812 CDRW/DVD-RW.

It was working good but since some days I cannot burn DVDs, I can still read them and burn CDs but the DVD burning function finishes with an error eeeeevery time. I'm copying the last log but if you want a previous one I can post it later too. I've tried with different DVD blank media (different brands), and none of them work fine. I have Nero 7 and also the latest firmware for my DVD (I think). So, I cannot see where the problem is. Please, any kind of help will be really welcome.

Thank you for everything in advance!!!
Regards,
Ricardo.

Has it been working good with Nero7 ?

Recorder doesn't recognize disks properly.
Which brand is being used and is it on the list recommended by the drive maker.

[01:04:14] ERROR : Unsupported Medium Detected
[01:04:14] INFO : Disc Identification Requires DVD or Blu-Ray Recorder And Matching Media

I dont have any more blank DVDs, do I need them blank for the Identification? I bought my DVDs in a 100-en store here in Japan. I've been buying them for more than half a year and the problem is just happening some two weeks ago. I had Nero 6.6 and I thought that maybe I had to upgrade it, I did that but still is not working ok.

I'll keep trying anything you think might help. If I need to buy a blank one, I'll do that tomorrow because now everything is already closed (1.00am).

Thanks for everything,
Regards,
Ricardo.

 

ok, but as I told before, it's not identifying it...

It gives me that error message. why could be that?

Thanks!!
RIcardo.

 

@ Dadagori hi

when you activate DVDIdentifier .where it says in blue writeing
Disc Identifier it starts on
DVD+R/+RW as default.... make sure you click on the next one along
DVD-R/-RW before clicking identify
other wise it will show the error above

 

it's me again...

I tried with the three of them, with the same DVD and none of them recognized it...then I changed to another DVD of the same brand that I burnt previously and still was not recognized. The same message Error or N/A....

As I said, I was using those DVDs before and they were working OK, I don't know why all of a sudden they started failing. Any other info you might need?

Thanks for your time,
regards,
Ricardo.

UPDATE: I'm using the DVD-R/RW tab in the DVD Identifier...

 

Hey guys,

I was trying to recognize some other DVDs and realized that none of them is being recognized by any of those programs...I've tried Victor, taiyo and even sony (the same brand of my laptop)...

Checking the DVD InfoPro log, I noticed that:

Media Information
Region information N/A not a DVD-VIDEO
[bold]Drive doesn't support media code[/bold]
Format Capacity 3.87GB(4.16GB)
Book Type DVD-R

I don't know what's going on here, my firmware is in japanese...would that be a problem? if so, why it was working for more than one year without any problem and suddenly started failing? I've used nero all the time and it did always a good job...

Thanks again for you help guys,
I really appreciate it,
Regards,
Ricardo.

PS: I'm afraid I'm going to sleep now...so I won't reply in some hours...thanks!

 

hey, but I still want answers I'll read them in the morning
See you! Have a good day!
Ricardo.

 

goodnight

 

@creaky, friend I'm no expert, but could dadagori have the Iso clicked, as you had and found that out when using Nero 7, and after unclicking it it began to work. I just noticed all the true statements in relation to the Iso section. I'm just asking you my friend as you know Neor logs. Have a good day.

@creaky
the drive should still recognize the media and DVDinfo should still recognize the disk type notwithstanding the type of burn?
Does this burner still play disks?
