Me again, just tried burning another d/l disc same as the other ones. Got 83% complete then errored. Only did one thing different and that was use shrink to get iso file and burn with dvd decrypter.

This error usually denotes a hardware failure. Read below what the cause of this error is. http://www.nero.com/en/FAQs_Error_Messages.html#14 14. What do I do if I get a 'Focus servo failure' message? The "Focus servo failure" message is a hardware error. It can be caused by the following: Poor media - Try more than one brand of CD-R media to rule this out as cause. Poor power - The power to your recorder could be fluctuating. If you have an internal recorder, try a different power connector and make sure it's not being shared by any other devices. If you have an external recorder, if possible, remove it from the external chassis and connect it to your system as an internal recorder. If this resolves your issue, you need to replace or repair the power source in your external chassis. Optical head is dirty, needs alignment, or recorders circuit board has an open coil - please contact your recorder manufacturer to service your unit.
MKM is Verbatim's parent company, Mitsubishi Kagaku Media (and MCC is their parent), but the only MKM codes i've seen are on here - http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/155431 - and you guessed it there's a similar code on there by.....Memorex
I burned these disks with Decrypter using Read and then Write mode. Do not know why you would make an ISO with Shrink first, this would only compress the movie and all you would need is a single layer disk.
the Dangerous Brothers have a 2.02 versionhttp://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?category=3&manufactor=16
ok guys thanks for the info,that was a new one on me.LOL I have a dual layered burner, but ive yet to use the dual layered stuff. Im waiting to hit the lottery to buy the media to burn.
tell me about it, same here JD ...which is why i miss the obvious on DL posts, i'm not au fait with DL media yet. i don't even notice the words DL on some logfiles i see
They are expensive, 3 of the Verbatim are 19.88 at WalMart. If I had not wanted to backup my Star Wars boxed set I would still be waiting for them to come down in price. Supposedly TY is going to come out with there dual layer soon, so I will wait before buying anymore.
I'd be holding my breath, and crossing my fingers, everytime I wanted to burn one. LOL Those are some pricey coasters
Check out this thread http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/194514 You will see in the burn log that the firmware version is A116. Try seeing if you can find an update for your firmware.
oops sorry you're quite right. i should have recommended official firmware first. I recommended Region-free firmware, that can keep for another day i guess
@creaky I got into a bitter flame war, about my distaste for memorex media.So now I pretty much keep my thoughts to myself on that junk. LOL
i was a bit too anti-anydvd a while back, i'm very much more careful how i phrase things these days, as in hindsight i had a tendency to be a bit confrontational. i just try to lean ppl away from crap, just like you lot have always done i guess. if ppl don't take the advice, they can flame themselves
Has'nt this got some tounges wagging. Yes they are Verbatim discs and after a minor hiccup in the beginning of my first DL burning experience I have burnt two more successfully with DVD Decrypter. This time I used Shrink to read (and you can tell shrink that u r using 8.5 G discs so it does not compress)and Decrypter to write. This is when the error occured so I will go back to using Decrypter for the whole burning process and see if all goes well. Just need to check my lottery ticket to afford another disc to (lol If not I hope it is not a problem with my burner, don't know if the warranty has run out yet? So thanks for all your help again ppl and will keep you informed of any findings....... SHALEE OUT
