a local sams club, not sure which ones they are, havent really looked to see, but went through about 200 of them so far, and havent made a single coaster. had a couple bad ones, but was because of a BSOD, and power outage.
Asda is a supermarket like walmart or sumit lol www.asda.com i will have a look for a new dvd burner, whats the best to get?
I'd recommend a LiteOn or Pioneer. LiteOn's booktype - Pioneer don't unless there's patched firmware for the model. Both good burner imho.
im using the pioneer 112d and haven't had any problems except when burning this game ... tried it with clonecd and dvd decrypter at 2x-2.4x and at 4x and it always says uh oh or some shit ... how do i find a log or something to post?
ImgBurn itself is far from hard to use and actually, a tutorial about the burning part of the process would be pointless. Here are the steps when you already have your .iso and .dvd file made. 1- Open the program 2- Go in the Mode option and take Write 3- Click on the folder with the little + on it and find your .dvd file (That's the one you want to actually burn even if it's 1k in size) 4- Make sure to burn at a low speed (Pref 2.4x) Enjoy =)
on a side note, I just picked up a pioneer 115d on newegg for $25 after shipping. It was an open box sale, so hopefully its not DOA
I second that for a Lite On, hell I'm using a cheap on clearance at wal mart lite on external and only problem I had was using cheaper Ritek D01-01 dye (Memorex dvd+r dl) and all that was was a power calibration error (an easy way to bypass this if the error comes up is let it sit there with the error screen up for like 5 minutes or so, long enough to let the burner cool down click retry and works every time) Lite On + Singapore Verbatim's = Success
I tried burning GTA IV on to Datawrite Titanium DVD+R DL. with a Pioneer D111. Tried ImgBurn and CloneCD (LayerBreak: 1913760). Burn At 2.4x and 4x. Doesnt give any errors but when i try to play it the game freezes on the title screen (Rock* Info). My Driver is a BenQ, weird thing is I have a copy on a Verbatium (Burnt on another system) same ISO and works perfectly.
Verbatim for the win my friend. I suggest you to not use anything else but Verbatim made in singapour. Go with the best =)
Has anyone got a complete read without any read errors the first time with xbc 2.8 or 2.5? At about 50% it gets a read error where I have to hit retry to continue. I don't know if this leads to bad burns or not.
