I edited in the 'thank you for the help and esp your patience'. You prob missed it :)

For grins I will try buring with the other programs we tried earlier.

I need to read up on how to get the Nero 'quality test' to run. I got the benchmark no problem. I couldn't even run the benchmark on the Memorex DVDs. The Verbatims 6.70x-16.03x avg 11.98.

Lee

I got it the second time around, and you are very welcome.

Try the quality scanning feature if your drive supports PI/PO scanning, I believe Lite-On drives do.

hello Locoeng And Arniebear! just to say thanks for your tips,everything works just tested on DVD-R and it worked.I reverted back to the older version of Nero works likes a charm,once again many thanks 2 you both,burn baby burn lol

Happy burning.

Hi,

I'm getting the same error with Imation Discs, and I'd rather not buy new discs if not necessary.

Any ideas? Here's my log file:

This section here is where the burner tries to recognize the disc, but yours isn't recognizing...there should be something here besides all the zeroes.

Quote:

---

Sense Key: 0x05 (KEY_ILLEGAL_REQUEST)

And this error means that your burner doesn't like the discs.

Try burning at 4X, if you get no joy, I'm afraid your next step will be to get some different blanks...Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden, Sony, Fuji, Maxell(made in Japan).

The version on Nero you are using is a good one, and your firmware is current, so as of now the media looks to be the culprit...but try a slower burn and see if that helps.

Hello All Nero BOSSES !!!

Thanks! I got some Maxell discs and they work just fine.

Using quality media can save you lots of headaches.

LOCO,

Attached is a log from a Verbatim DVD. After switching to the Verbatims all was well until I got two coasters. Same old Illegal Disk. What does the log tell you?

I've been burning the verbatims at 12x without issue. The 16x I tried also worked but I backed off to 12x

Thanks,
Lee

@GPL44

My only suggestion right now would be to slow down to 4X and work your way up to see what speed you can successfully get away with.

Back your target size up to 4300, you are burning too close to the edge of the disc.

Turn this option off, only use it with DVD+R's

Havent seen this one before...I see you are using verbatim, have you tried another brand? Verbs are usually held in high regard, but perhaps your system just doesn't like them.

Oh no.. not another log... ;)

- New OEM Lite-On SHM-165H6S

@blondie44 - can't see anything wrong in the log, have you tried 4x with those discs ?

Yep- tried all the way down to 4x..

For the life of me can't figure it out.

SHM-165H6S will burn DVD+.... just not the FujiFilm DVD-.

The drive is fairly new- maybe the firmware isn't comaptible with the disks?

I'm grasping at straws... ;)

Could it be that this drive dosen't like fujifilm?

My old Lite-On would burn to these FujiFilm disks just fine using nero. I just swapped the drives yesterday.

Have your tried another brand media just for poops and chuckles? It seems that's the only error in the log.

I thought about doing that. I used my last DVD- (other then the FujiFilm) the other day and only have DVD+ left. I will run out tomorrow and pick some other DVD-

I'll report back what I find.

In additon, I installed ImgBurn and it wouldn't work with the FujiFilm either. Here is the log from that non-burn:

I'm starting to think that it is the FujiFilm media... I'll know for sure tomorrow when I pick up another brand of DVD- I'll post my reults then.

Thanks again. :)

Son of a....

It IS the FujiFilm DVD-!!!!!!

I found a couple of DVD- .....
Nero and the SHM-165H6S worked just fine with the other brand of DVD-!

Why would this particular drive NOT like the FujiFilm DVD-?

It doesn't make any sense- It can burn the crappy Memorex DVD- no problem...but rejects the FujiFilm DVD-..lol

What gives?!

Ok.. Last post for today.

I called lite-on to report the problem with the FujiFilm DVD-R disks.

The tech told me that FujiFilm are basically crap...lol..

I thought I read on here that they were considered good?

I told him that I had previously burned to these disks with 2 other Lite-on drives, but that my NEW SHM-165H6S won't play.

He once again said that FujiFilm is considered cheap, and that maybe in the next firmware there will be compatability....I shall wait and see.

Thanks for everyone's help. :)

Generally speaking, if it's made in Japan your good to go...Fuji, Sony, Maxell, Taiyo Yuden. Verbatims are the only ones I would trust from Taiwan. Just out of curiousity, since the tech told you Fuji were crap, what did he suggest as an alternative brand?

By the way, stay away from Memorex and Imation.

He definitely said Verbatims...... He said a few others, but at that point I thought he was "full of it", so I didn't really pay attention after the told me Fuji were crap, low-end...lol..

He tried to make me feel like a dunce for using such "low-end" media...

Heeee's back :) Posting for what its worth.

I had given up for a time and let my burning issues sit. Today I bought Harry Potter GOF and tried to just play it in my computer. No dice, locked everything up and the DVD player just sat there and blinked.

Enabled AnyDVD and it played fine. Ripped it with DVD shrink and AnyDVD to an ISO. Deep analysis etc. No issues there. Wouldn't burn with 7.0.5.4, haven't tried the latest one yet....7.0.8.2 but looking at the version numbers doesn't appear they updated Burning Rom from .5.4.

Cleaned 7.0.5.4 out completely with the clean tools and installed the old OEM that came with the burner 6.3.1.26. Burned it at 8x with no issues. I'm still using the Verbatim 16x blanks (and will continue to do so). The PQ wasn't bad at all considering the compression required to get just the movie on a single layer DVD. I'll let the kids play with that one :)

I checked the power supply in the computer, 600w unit and it looked good. The fact it burns fine with the old software rules out hardware issues. Maybe not hardware/software conflict of some 'strange' kind.

Remember I started having issues after updating to Norton IS 2006, Nero 7.0.5.4, created the dynamic drive. Grasping at straws, yes.

I'm still checking out software that is or has been installed just before I started having problems. Tonight I am going to completely uninstall Norton IS v2006 and use their clean software. The only other change was making a single dynamic drive out of the 250gb and 300gb data drives I have installed. If cleaning and reinstalling Norton doesn't help I'll separate the dynamic drive back into two basic drives. I have copied an ISO to the system drive from the data drives and attempted to burn it with 7.0.5.4, made no difference.

Also remember that if I rip a DVD with Recode to an NRG and then burn it with 7.0.5.4 it works ok. Also after I switched to Verbatims from the Memorex/TDK DVDs everything worked for a few days and quit again.

I'm betting that if I clean the system disks and reinstall everything the issue will disappear..... Just haven't decided to pull the trigger on that one yet.

I am having no other glitches on my system, just the DVD burning issue. No viruses or spyware/adware has been detected. I even checked for the Sony DRM rootkit.

I will be sure to post if I do come up with an answer/solution.

Thanks again,
Lee

Cleaned out v6 OEM and installed 7.0.8.2 and we're back to illegal disk. Cleaned that out and reinstalled the v6 OEM and we're burning again. ??? I guess if all I was interested in was burning DVDs this would be a solution but I bought v7 so I could work with HDV files from my HD camcorder..... :(
