Hi, I was trying to burn a DVD+R DL but until now I always failed. Hear is my full log, I hope someone could help me. Basically what Nero says me before stops itself is something like "illegal disk". Well I really don't know... Thanks a lot, Stefano. 7K22-*serial number removed* Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 8.3.2.1 Internal Version: 8, 3, 2, 1 Recorder: <PHILIPS DVD8631> Version: JB15 - HA 1 TA 1 - 8.3.2.1 Adapter driver: <USB 2.0> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : set to ATAPI CD-ROM: <HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8162B>Version: 0018 - HA 1 TA 0 - 8.3.2.1 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8162B atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : RAID_Volume1 iaStor Port 2 ID 0 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8162B D: CdRom0 PHILIPS DVD8631 E: CdRom1 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 83886080 (0) Byte BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 2047MB (2097151kB) Free physical memory: 2047MB (2097151kB) Memory in use : 21 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 28.10.2008 ISO compilation 3:00:23 PM #1 Text 0 File SCSIPTICommands.cpp, Line 450 LockMCN - completed sucessfully for IOCTL_STORAGE_MCN_CONTROL 3:00:23 PM #2 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6713 Iso document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet : TRUE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : TRUE Allow more than 255 characters in path : TRUE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 3:00:23 PM #3 ISO9660GEN -11 File Geniso.cpp, Line 3349 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 3:00:24 PM #4 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3568 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 3:00:25 PM #5 Text 0 File FilesystemSettingsValidator.cpp, Line 142 FS Settings: using validator 'CUDFSettingsValidatorDVD' ParamMode = 'automatic', changing UDF partition type from 'physical' to 'physical' Changing UDF revision from '1.02' to '1.02' 3:00:25 PM #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 311 Last possible write address on media: 4173823 (927:30.73, 8151MB) Last address to be written: 3655775 (812:23.50, 7140MB) 3:00:25 PM #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 323 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 3:00:25 PM #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2932 Recorder: PHILIPS DVD8631, Media type: DVD+R DL Disc Manufacturer ID: <RITEK>, Media Type ID: <S04>, Product revision number: 66 Disc Application Code: 0, Extended Information Indicators: 0 3:00:25 PM #9 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 497 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= 3:00:25 PM #10 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 754 Setup items (after recorder preparation) 0: TRM_DATA_MODE1 () 2 indices, index0 (150) not provided original disc pos #0 + 3655776 (3655776) = #3655776/812:23.51 relocatable, disc pos for caching/writing not required/ required -> TRM_DATA_MODE1, 2048, config 0, wanted index0 0 blocks, length 3655776 blocks [E: PHILIPS DVD8631] -------------------------------------------------------------- 3:00:25 PM #11 Text 0 File ThreadedTransferInterface.cpp, Line 956 Prepare [E: PHILIPS DVD8631] for write in CUE-sheet-DAO DAO infos: ========== MCN: "" TOCType: 0x00;

More than likely it's your drive. It's old, at least 3 yrs, and only burns DLs @ 2.4x according to videohelp.com. The media you are using burns best at about 6x. It's also very possible your drive doesn't support this media, which will result in poor burns. Try to find some 2.4x Verbatim DLs. They are more expensive than the Riteks but might work in your drive. You drive is also not well liked, read this thread for some info.
Hi hobbit112, thanks for your reply. I do agree with you about my burner...I really believe that it's time to buy a new disant one! Could you suggest me a couple of new brand burners with which I'll never had any more such types of problems? Regards, Stefano.
Welcome to AD Stefano! For drives, my favorite at the moment is my NEC/Optiarc 7200S, I also have a Samsung 203b which I also like but not as much as the NEC. These are SATA drives but there is also an IDE version. I also like the Lite-Ons and have heard that the Pioneers ans Asus's are also very good. Plextors were also very good but I think I heard that they are starting to rebadge drvies, but I may be confused. You can check out this thread, it's supposed to discuss drives in addtion to media. BTW, I have transitioned from Nero to a free program called ImgBurn for burning DL media. You have better control over the burning speed for DLs (Nero used to have a problem with that) and can easily book-type if your drive supports the procedure. ImgBurn also will keep a log of your burning speeds for each media descriptor you use, i.e., you no longer have to remember that Ritek S04's burn best @ 6x, Verbatim MKM 001's burn best @ 4x, etc (these are examples, your speeds may vary).
Thanks mate, I'll try to read about the NEC/Optiarc 7200S. In case I would be use the one with a SATA interface, winch card do you recommend? Stefano
You will need to get a SATA card with a Silicon Image controller chip. The one I have has the Sil3114 chip and works well. It's been my experience that if you choose a SATA card without a SI chip, you could have problems updating the firmware of your drive connected to it. I'm speaking from experience here, the first SATA card I got did not have the SI controller chip and when I went to update my drive, a Lite-On at the time, thank God, the update didn't 'take' and my drive was bricked. Luckily, when I got a SATA card with the SI chip I was able to re-flash the drive and get it back working. I've got a Rosewill RC209 adaptor. If I was looking for another adaptor card I'd get a Rosewill RC209-EX. This card has 2 external eSATA connectors in addtion to the internal SATA connectors so you can connect external SATA devices to it.
Thanks hobbit112, I had a look to the NEC/Optiarc series and they seems to be a very good choice. What about the Sony drives? Are they good as well as the NEC/Optiarc? Should the combination of a Rosewill RC209-EX card plus a BWU-300S drive give to me a safety burn solution? Stefano. P.S. I introduced the Sony BWU-300S because I was looking for blue ray burner too.
I know little about the blu-ray burners other than they are pricey. I also know that if you are going to burn blu-ray material for replay in stand-alones, it's iffy. Most of the guides here are for playback in PS3s. For playback in other machines, it's almost model by model and firmware by firmware. For instance, I have a blu-ray player, a Sharp BD20U, and it will not play BDMV recordings (what most, if not all, of the guides here create), but it supposedly will play BDAV, BD5 & BD9s (BD5 & BD9s are blu-ray structure burned to regular dvds, but different structure than BDMV). It also will not play AVCHD discs as Sharp says that AVCHD is Sony copywrite and there are licensing issues. I have been unable to burn a disc with blu-ray format(on standard dvd) that will play in my standalone.
Right, I can see your point and I think that I do agree with you. Just one more thing, where can I buy both card and drive? Because I'm Italian and I'm living in Italy. Thanks again, Stefano.
Can't help you there Stefano. I get alot of my components from Newegg. Where do you get your computer supplies? Maybe find a computer shop and ask?
I know what you mean, I have an Hp computer and I'll try to ask around. In any case many thanks all for your help, Stefano.
