well i was trying to burn a dvd today and it froze right up and wouldnt eject the disc, i was using dvd decryptor and a pioneer dvr-108,ritek G04's, it freezes right during the burning process, what could be the problem. just updated the firmware also.
The simplist solution is to make sure you have any other applications shut off. DVD burning uses alot of system resources. Hopefully this will help you. Worst case scenario is that you damaged your drive when you updated the firmware.
well. i tried with alcohol 120% and gave me this error:####################### Dumping/Recording Progress Log ####################### 17:55:31 Processor info: AMD Athlon(tm) (1892MHz) 17:55:31 Memory Available to Windows: 1,048,048 KB 17:55:31 Memory Buffer size: 128 MB 17:55:31 Image file loading: C:\NAPOLEON_DYNAMITE_4X3.MDS 17:55:31 DVD Source Info: Session: 1, Track: 1, Length: 4.34 GB / 505:46:15 17:55:48 (G PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-108(0:0): Recording Method/Speed 17:55:48 Simulated recording - DVD DAO - 2.0X (2760 KB/Sec) 18:00:47 (G PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-108(0:0) - [Write ERROR] LBA: 351152, Length: 16 S:KEY - 05/21/02 - "Invalid Address For Write" 18:00:47 (G PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-108(0:0): Recording failed! 18:00:47 Error message: [05/21/02] - Invalid Address For Write 18:00:47 (G PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-108(0:0): Simulated recording failed! 18:00:47 Image file loading aborted! 18:00:50 Something is wrong with the recording procedure! Please check the log file and report any errors to Technical Support. when i use dvd decryptor it freezes the whole PC, I updated the firmware then burnt a dvd it worked fine then i tryed to burn the same movie again and it froze the PC, so i think im gonna take the drive back and get a new one.
