MatSHITa Drive

Hey grilljm,

I second CBR929's advice about using an external drive. I also have a Vaio with a MatSHITa drive which never produced consistent results.

I now use an external Lite-On burner exclusively and it works great - I almost never use the internal drive. It's much faster, has a greater range of compatibility with different media, and produces great burns with DVDFab and ImgBurn.

Cheers!

My hp dvd 1170 is an external drive. I have been a user since 2007 and never read the forum because DVDFAB is so intuitive. That changes now. I have become a believer.
Thanks again. I do appreciate your sharing your knowledge and helping me.

If it is an external then you could use it as this will keep you computer cooler since you will not be using your internal which will cause unnecessary heat.
You are welcome

I agree with your comment about ImgBurn and will probably not go back to VSO Burner too.
You are correct about my DVD drive. Plus it is inside a VAIO which needs to have an external fan on it to maintain a reasonable temperature. I do have an HP dvd 1170 which I will now use instead of the Matshita unless you have a better recommendation.
Thanks for being out there and getting me back on track. I really do appreciate it and think I have learned quite alot in the past 24 hours and will continue to learn on ImgBurn.

You may try a can of compressed air to blow the dust out of your computer to help with the cooling of your lap top.

Is the HP dvd 1170 an external drive??? If so you may use it if your MATSHITA gives you problems or use it now that is up to you.

If you read the forum daily, like I did when I first started using Fab a little over a year ago you will learn a lot and use that knowledge to trouble shoot problems that may arise.

Again Happy Burning and I was glad I could help you

Success on being able to copy again but with ImgBurn verses VSO. Why did VSO go away?
Thank you.
Also, CBR929 said we'll talk about my drive after I was successful.

Glad to hear that you are burning again

VSO is the burn engine that is bundled with Fab and for some members it is "buggy", I have not had many problems with it when I first started using Fab, but switched to ImgBurn and never looked back.

Your drive MATSHITA UJ-842D is a slim type in a lap top I'm betting, and this brand being the worst of the bunch are not very good for video backups because of the heat generated by the drive, if you would have continued to have problems I would have suggested that you get an external drive to do your burns.

Happy burning

Where do I find RITEKM16 ? Now I am disappointed.
This video is no longer available because the uploader has closed their YouTube account.
Sorry about that.
Do you have another idea where I can find the tutorial for IMGBURN?

The RITEKM16 is the Media ID of the disc's that you were using, all disc's have them, the Verbatims are Media ID: MCC-004-00 for the DVD+R.
If you take your time and just follow the instructions on that thread I am sure that you could set it up without the video.

Hi grilljm
First let me suggest using ImgBurn as your burn engine, it is "free" and you will find a tutorial in setting it up here do not forget to set up the AWS in ImgBurn also even though you were using Verbatim disc's lower your burn speed to 1/2 the rated speed of your disc's, which would be 4x, you may even try 6x with the Verbatims.

Get rid of the Media ID: RITEKM16 and also either stick with the Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden are also highly recommended.
Give this a try and post back, we will talk about your drive later

I think I compressed it right. This is the first time I have done anything like this.

Looks like I was typing when you were posting.
You did just fine, but next time post just what's needed
