Copy Problems

[JohnPaul]

I have no problems copying the DVD's, but when it tells me to insert a blank DVD to start the burn process it keeps telling me to insert a compatable DVD. I don't understand why it keeps failing to burn. I have tried to insert differant DVD's and it's still spitting it back out and telling me to insert a compatable one. I am using DVD + R DVD's. Can anyone help me out?

Make sure you have the quality setting set to DVD-5 if you are using single layer discs.

I do have it to DVD - 5, any other suggestions.

Yeah, click the green arrow and go down and click "Write" if DVD5 is larger than 4472 click "Customize" and set it to 4472.

I do happen to have it on DVD-5. Any other suggestions

Yeah, click the green arrow and go down and click "Write" if DVD5 is larger than 4472 click "Customize" and set it to 4472.

Where is the green arrow

[90312]

At the top of the first screen, it's actually a white check mark in a green circle. A column will be on the left side of the screen, just click write and set the DVD5 size.

its still stating to insert a compatable media to start the write process.

What kind (brand) of media are you using? And have you swapped it for another in the stack to see if it is a bad one?

[JohnPaul]

i have tried using several differant ones. They are maxell DVD+R.

I reccomend you download ImgBurn, it is a free burning engine that most of us use. and see this thread for instructions to make it work with Fab. The VSO engine that comes with Fab is problematic for some users.

Hi JohnPaul,

Please try the following steps to see if the problem can be fixed:

1. Update to the latest firmware of DVD writer;
2. Try different brand media, well-known brands like Taiyo Yuden and Verbatim will be better; Please keep away of Memorex media, some of which are of poor quality;
3. Try different format media like DVD+/-R/RW if your DVD writer supports.
