Burning Process failed

[SheelaNaGig]

I hope you guys have received my log info by now and can help me with some kind of solution? I have a few DVD's I wish to burn and it would be good to be able to do so.

I heard back from Avangate who is a reseller for Fentaio and they gave me a weblink to go to but nothing appeared on screen with this, so they haven't been of any great use thus far,

Cheers,

Well, "The Gang" all seem to have similar thoughts about this problem!!!!

[maineman]

Great advice from "the gang" and I totally agree.
A few more thoughts...
Apparently this is a laptop ??? and your drive is a slimline drive.
These tend to be poor performers insofar as video archiving.

I don't mean to sound like I'm beating you up, I mean slimlines are what come in lappies...nevertheless, they're marginal perfomers at best.
They are also predisposed to early failure as the result of excessive heat exposure..."they cook"!

This puppy might still have some life in it, but GregiBoy is spot on about the media...dump it.
Definitely, pick up some Verbatim media at the local brick & mortar stores or some Taiyo Yuden online.
GregiBoy can help you with this since he's in OZ...I'm clueless since I'm over in the US.

Don't buy another slimline burner as a replacement. They're expensive and crappy performers...especially with dvds.

Not sure how your budget is, but you would be way better off with an external burner
or a cheaper internal burner housed in an external enclosure...connected to a usb 2 port.
Again, GregiBoy or another Aussie can help you here.

Thanks for posting the info we requested...sounds like it was a hassle.

Good luck and let us know how you make out

Also, the blanks that you are using are CRAP. All of us here that are experienced recommend either Verbatiim or Taiyo Yuden.

Toss that CRAP media ..... as those disks age they will probably stop working ... get Taiyo Yuden as Gregi suggested. TY's is the ONLY media i use for SL (single layer) burns.

Your burner also has a 'newer' firmware update which was released back in Dec 22 2006. Firmware 103D can be found . Along with Greg's good advice it should help find the proper write strategy for your blank media which is not the best available.

Oh and thanks for posting the needed info

[GregiBoy]

OK, these are my comments on what I can glean from the logs.

2009-12-07 20:48:18 Error WRITE FAILED: write error occured near the end at sector 2035968 / 2143936

I think the burner is having problems with this media near the edge. A suggestion is to reduce the default size of the DVD5 in the settings page as this may help prevent this.

You are requesting it to burn at too high a speed. Reduce to a maximum of half the rated speed of the blanks.

Also, the blanks that you are using are CRAP. All of us here that are experienced recommend either Verbatiim or Taiyo Yuden.

Besides all of that, your PC must be pretty old with only having 500Mb of memory. The burner could be on the way out also. The only way to prove this though is to put in a new one. They are not too expensive though. They are around the $30 in Australia as I see from the logs that you are from Down Under also.

Hi,

I think I sent the first log via the short reply option. Sorry, but I didn't understand what "reply with quote" meant or "multi-quote". It must be a "lingo" thing? Anyway, it worked and that is the main thing using this option.

Hopefully you will be able to get to the bottom of my problem now? If you need any further logs, let me know. Thanks for editing my post. I just get used to using my real name. What do you mean by "PM"? See, I'm Australian and that is my excuse!!

Someone made a suggestion about the fact that I have Nero Express on my system? It isn't the disc. Someone downloaded it onto my system. I find it useless for DVD burning but I use it for CD burning. What do you think?

Are you in the US or Canada? It is fascinating talking to people from so far away!

I hope you can help me and thanks once again for looking after me. I'm glad someone is!

Cheers,

SheelaNaGig

Hi Jenny,

I opted to edit your personal info from your post #4.
I would suggest that you do not post your email addy as you will be subject to all kinds of nasties such as spambots. I also removed your other personal info for similar reasons...again all kinds of unsavory and predatory folks out there.

It's fine to pm someone that you trust like W&B, with your email, just don't post it.

As another option you can zip the burn logs and then post them.
We probably just need a couple anyway so just go ahead and c&p a portion as W&B suggested

Here goes again then. I hope this works ok.

Hi,

I don't have the disc of Nero as someone downloaded it for me. Can I disable Nero somehow while I am using FABDVD6 as I still use Nero for CD burning?

Cheers,

SheelaNaGig.

Hi Super Moderator,

I didn't realise I included my e-mail address? This is scary stuff. All I want is to try to find a solution to my problem? I have already tried to edit the log and just c & p but each time it has said it is too large, even when it is only a small portion? How do I include it as an attachment?

[AGJ]

SheelaNaGig since you have nero installed you just might have nero Incd installed as well and that will play havoc while burning. If you was able to post a list of filters installed on your computer that would be of great help to us in order to help you better in addition to those logs

[W&B]

I missed it also and should have pm'ed you AGJ (my fault)

[AGJ]

Don't know how I missed that personal information but thanks for the catch maineman

Just attach them to the post or edit them to the most recent then copy and paste.
