Burning When in Rome, Dear John, and The Proposal

[90312]

Have you guys noticed how many problems lately burning to Ritek medias with an “F” in the MID? I don’t see many where the MID has a “P” in it. The “F” denotes the Fujifilm proprietary organic dye and the “P” denotes good ole metal AZO dye, you don't see many problems with those. Lots of problems with the “F” type dye. I'll just stick with Verbatims and Tayio Yuden and know I have AZO dye.

Yes I already read both logs earlier and saw that one said PIO and the other didn't But they are both dated today that is why I had mentioned PIO
And also 2 different medias

I was not aware of what the "P" meant but I am aware that the "F" means many problems with many burners.

Yes I have, so I guess it means that some where they have to cut costs to still make a buck

Mine doesn't say either as my movie goes in my E: drive which is IDE and blank Verbatim goes in my D: drive which is Sata

You are using an old outdated not supported version of DVDFab. Update to the latest released version and you will have no problems with these movies. Link for latest version below



Ooops just noticed you have the latest version installed as well so why are you using V6? Use the latest make sure pathplayer is always enabled, get better blank media and reset your DVD drive to DMA and then try again with latest version of DVDFab

Just an FYI here guys,

Whether or not a drive (ODD or HDD) runs in one of the DMA Modes has nothing to do with the interface of the drive, ie., PATA (IDE or ribbon) cabling vs. SATA cabling.
It has everything to do with how the drive is configured in the bios.

Take a look in device manager and see what's up with DMA modes with both your ODD's and HDD's and whether or not DMA is even an option.

Now look in your bios.

Many of the newer factory built rigs don't even have IDE as an option in the bios.
Look in device manager and there's no IDE ATA/ATAPI controller.
DMA is not an option here.

Similarly, an external burner which connects via a usb port is controlled by the usb controller. It doesn't matter whether the drive itself is PATA (IDE) or SATA interface.
Again DMA is not applicable.

I have a 6 month old core i7 build, Win7 Pro, 64-bit.
I chose not to load the AHCI drivers prior to installing windows.
I configured everything for IDE.
I have 4 SATA HDD's, 2 SATA ODD's and 2 PATA ODD's.
All 8 drives are in DMA... UDMA2, UDMA5 or UDMA6

Above is my internal log. I did not have this checked originally. I have DMA checked, and it was. I was using the latest version and had the same problem. I am not sure I understand how to pick the right title. I tried the better media. Still only 2 chapters when I go to put it in a DVD player. When I put the same DVD back in my computer and it plays through all the chapters.

[michvarg48]

I recently installed to two dvd burners and just plugged in and let windows install them. Could I be missing somthing in the hardware set-up? I am not a techie(obviously). Thank you for your responses. I sure appreciate it.

This was the most recent burn log on the crappy dvd's. Thought I should have complete logs for last run.

[michvarg48]

Pathplayer was not enabled. I changed this and now I only see one chapter with the full movie. I am trying it on the Ritek, since I used the two Taiyo Yuden's I had. Any suggestions on burn speed?

[Gummigutta]

One suggestion would be to use the verify option, so you at-least know that the burn was ok.

[c0afanh]

The RITEK media is crap also.

I highly recommend using either Verbatim DVD-R or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R media. These are the top two media in the market. When burning a movie to these discs, it is recommended you burn at a speed of 4x to 8x only.
