I need some help here, I just bought some verbatim dvd-r from best buy the other day. I've been using verbatim for a while but when I started using these discs, dvdshrink kept giving me an error during the burn process with nero. I don't know if my burner (Memorex DVD+/-DLRWL1 F16)or maybe its the media. For some reason also, I cannot change the burn speed on shrink or nero to 16x. Any help would be trully appreciated. Thanks. I've included a log file if anyone wants to take a look.

What are you trying to burn from i.e. dvd movie? Do you have the latest from Shrink? May be it's a bad pressed or it could be some protection code - I could be wrong. I'm not quite sure myself too due to the "log" doesn't showed much of errors. Have you tried to burn with DVD Decrypter or any other program beside Nero? It's better to compress/encode with Shrink and then burn with Decrypter - this method will be more successful. Give it a try and see what happen. On DVD Shrink, after you've compress/encode, then click on "back up," select "Target Device," then select your Back Up Target with "ISO Image File and Burn with DVD Decrypter." Hopefully someone with more skills and knowledge will be able to solve your problem.
i have only heard good things about the Verbatim 16x media, im assuming it's the MCC coded ones...so, i would gather that you might want to see if there is a firmware update for your memorex burner to allow further compatibility with this newer media. i would shudder to think you would use memorex media, since i would STRONGLY suggest AGAINST using any memorex media, your choice of media is very good and for me personally, i've had flawless backups using verbatim mcc coded discs. your log looks decent, i think firmware might be the issue here with your drive being able to burn onto this new media~

I was backing up my DVD of Bruce Almighty using DVD shrink. Any indications that shrink may be doing something wrong?
I tried making a DVD with data on it just now and nero gave me an illegal disc error. I added one mp3 for a trial burn and it gave me the error almost instantly. heres the log for the attempt.

Hello, Are you burning at 16x ? 16x is just in the movies, don't try this at home kids I suggest burning at 2x, and make sure everthing works ! Then 4x, 8x, 12x and 16x and see where SPEED fails you. Most people buy better quality and/or burns at a lower speed and all their problems go away ! My 2 cents...
No, I'm not burning at 16x. The problem is that I cannot burn at all using these 16x discs. The burn process seems to be aborted everytime it initiates. I think it might be the media I'm using, maybe its not compatible with my drive. I used a Fuji 8x disc that worked fine just now. I'm glad to know that my drive is still working, the sad part is, I spent about 50 bucks for these verbatims that I cannot seem to use...off to ebay they go...
Has anyone had success burning at 16x speed? It appears there a few people here that believe it will not work, or is it a media/burner issue, or software? I sure would like to upgrade to a 16x from my 8x.....they're so cheap. TIA, Rich
You can burn at 16x speed, however the probem is that there are some older standalone players that will not recognize a disk burned at this rate. Some standalones are sensitive to errors and burning at 16x is more apt to give you disk errors.
Ineresting, never would have thought standalones would even know/care what speed it was burnt at, providing the data was layed out properly. Well, if that is the case, that just plain sucks. Thanks, Rich
Hello haza12d, Your burner has firmware --> BWSB From this website --> http://www.memorex.com/html/download_software_now.php?CID=11&PID=782&SWID=335 16x Dual Format Double Layer DVD Recorder Firmware Update Firmware Update is for the 16x Dual Format Double Layer Internal and External DVD Recorder! Part number 3202-3282 and 3202-3286 ONLY! Date: 08/30/2004 This firmware update will not work on any other Dual Drive. Firmware Revision: BWSE <--- See the new version ! On the bottom on that webpage, you can click on the link: ---> Drive String Identifying in Windows 2000 and XP <--- Make sure it matches your drive. Maybe the new firmware will permit you to use new media.
Well, just did the firmware update. Still no good. Oh well...I think I'll just return the drive and get another one from best buy. Ah the beauty of the protection plan. Thanks guys for all the help.
Hi there, Still nothing ? Not even at 2x or 4x burn ? Damn, I guess it's the media. Was worth a shot for the new firmware...
Yip, nothing at all even at 2x or 4x. Weird how the box of this burner says 'takes the guesswork of what kind of media to use." Well, thanks for the help again guys. I'll be posting the Verbatims on ebay soon. Anyone interested just let me know. Again, Thanks.
Got this from your first log post. They are made by MCC. I would try a firmware update or eeprom reset. That burner is a rebadged litey (pretty sure). Eeprom reset cured all my problems with my litey and verbatums. Burns verbs better than any other media now. Mort
