hi.. i've experienced alot of trouble recently when trying to back up my DVD's.. i'm using the following equipment: Compaq Presario 2100 Notebook, 512mb RAM, 40Gb HDD, Toshiba SD-R6252 DVD+R/RW, Firmware v1A14, 2MB Buffer, Nero v6.6.0.18, DVD Shrink v3.2, Rytek DVD+R's. For a long time i didn't experience any trouble (a little at the start till i found a media that the burner seemed happy with), but now it refuses to burn ANY DVD!! CD's are fine but it will not burn DVD's.. I was using Nero v6.0 and old firmware but after reading a few posts on here i upgraded them to the current versions (even tried the trial of Nero 7 but it just seemed to suck the life out of my system) and as Nero Info Tool was reporting 'n/a' for 2 of my systems ASPI files i used Force ASPI to correct that, then thinking that maybe the DVD burner had packed in i even resorted to trying a new burner (same type and model), but still no success... so i'm at my wits end! i've attached the error report from my last attempt to burn using the original DVD Burner.. any help would be graciously recieved!! thanx Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=4.60 (1021), size=45056 bytes, created 10/09/1999 12:06:00 ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\Program Files\Ahead\nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 26/10/2004 18:35:34 Nero Version: 6.6.0.18 Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 18e Recorder: <TOSHIBA ODD-DVD SD-R6252>Version: 1A14 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.18 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <TOSHIBA ODD-DVD SD-R6252>Version: 1A14 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.18 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : ST94011A atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : TOSHIBA ODD-DVD SD-R6252 atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On === CDRom-Device-Map === TOSHIBA ODD-DVD SD-R6252 D: CDRom0 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 66060288 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 446MB (457200kB) Free physical memory: 129MB (132992kB) Memory in use : 70 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 11.1.2006 UDF/ISO compilation 22:30:34 #1 Phase 112 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files reallocation started 22:30:34 #2 Phase 114 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files reallocation completed (no file modified) 22:30:34 #3 Text 0 File Isodoc.cpp, Line 6359 UDF document burn settings ------------------------------------------ Determine maximum speed : FALSE Simulate : FALSE Write : TRUE Finalize CD : TRUE Multisession : FALSE Burning mode : DAO Mode : 1 UDF Mode : UDF/ISO bridge UDF Revision : 1.02 UDF Partition Type : physical ISO Level : 1 (Max. of 11 = 8 + 3 char) Character set : ISO 9660 Joliet :FALSE Allow pathdepth more than 8 directories : TRUE Allow more than 255 characters in path : TRUE Write ISO9660 ;1 file extensions : TRUE 22:30:34 #4 Phase 111 File dlgbrnst.cpp, Line 1832 DVD-Video files sorted 22:30:34 #5 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 22:30:34 #6 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer TOSHIBA ODD-DVD SD-R6252 running 22:30:35 #7 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 22:30:35 #8 ISO9660GEN -11 File geniso.cpp, Line 3309 First writeable address = 0 (0x00000000) 22:30:35 #9 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3233 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using DVD media 22:31:03 #10 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 270 Last possible write address on media: 2295103 (510:01.28, 4482MB) Last address to be written: 2286111 (508:01.36, 4465MB) 22:31:03 #11 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 282 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD) 22:31:03 #12 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2483 Recorder: TOSHIBA ODD-DVD SD-R6252, Media type: DVD+R 22:31:03 #13 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 448 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= Insert empty disc to write to.

below is a link of the actual disks i am using: http://www.ukdvdr.co.uk/shop/8x-Ridisc-Full-Face-Printable-DVD+R-in-50-Tub.-pr-18074.html thanx again Tom.
well your log looks pretty good but these two Last possible write address on media: 2295103 (510:01.28, 4482MB) Last address to be written: 2286111 (508:01.36, 4465MB) set your target size to 4300 or 4350 in dvdshrink or other program Sense Key: 0x03 (KEY_MEDIUM_ERROR) 22:33:17 #24 CDR -1135 File Writer.cpp, Line 311 Write error you should try different media, quality media is a must, good choices are verbatim and taiyo yuden peace
Thanx for your suggestions.. i have always used the same size setting in dvd shrink and the burning process isn't even getting close to the edge of the disc.. usually only 30%-50% but i'll decrease the size a little just in case.. as for the media i had always been told that DVD's using Ritek dye are one of the best around and like i say i've used these discs MANY times before (over 100 successful burns).. is it possible that i have been sold fake discs?? there is no branding on the DVD's as they are inkjet printables except for a long number around the centre hole.. these are different for every disc eg V1-02CH1507028876B19 so i assume they are just a serial number used by the production company?? once again here is a link for the product that i bought.. http://www.ukdvdr.co.uk/shop/Ritek-DVD+R-Full-Face-PRINTABLE-8x-pack-of-50-pr-17672.html i dug out some old Datasafe 4x DVD+R's and successfully burned 2 of them tonight! these were the discs i used before switching to the printable versions but had to give up on, as i DETEST sticky labels.. any more help on this matter from anyone would be GREATLY appreciated!! thanx tom
the reason i suggested to decrease the target size, and change media is your firmware is up to date but it was last updated in december of 2004. i have also read people like ritek but your burner seems not to. go here to check firmware - http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1902 peace
Media can make the difference. Some ppl love Ritek, but i have seen many logs of failed burns with Ritek right in the middle of it. This media seems to either work great, or fail miserably. Try some GOOD media like Verbs, Sony, Fuji, Maxell, last 3 made in japan to eliminate media as being the offender. Although your Datasafe seems to have pointed out Ritek being bad for you in this case.
cheers guys.. found somewhere that stocked printable datasafe disks and i'm gonna try a few of them... fingers crossed that if they worked once they should again!!! thanx tom
