Well I've no idea if this is the right group, and apologies to the
regulars if it isn't, but since you started the thread I will reply to
say I'm having no end of trouble with dvd dl burning, both data and
video. I have 3 burners - a Lite-On IDE like yours, an HP and a
Samsung (both external USB). I'm burning from 3 different PC's, one of
which is Dell laptop, the others home-built desktops, one Intel, one
AMD. Software is Nero Express and Ulead Burn Now 2.0. Burning from
ISO's or video folders, or just data.
I recently bought samples of Datawrite Red, HP, Fortis and Mirror
blank DVD +R DL.
The Datawrite Red aren't even recognised in any of the 3 drives. They
are totally useless to me.
The HP and Mirror disks are recognised, but either crap out during the
burn phase or complete the burn successfully but then get errors
during the verification phase, again in all 3 drives. They will then
play up until they hit the bad data. The fact the HP burner doesn't
work with HP branded disks is particularly annoying. I haven't had ONE
SINGLE successful write with either of these brands.
The Fortis disks work pretty much every time, in any of the 3 drives.
Don't think I've made any coasters with those.
I also happened to have some Datawrite Yellow knocking around, and
these work about 50% of the time.
It doesn't seem to matter which PC or which burning s/w I use, except
that the HP drive isn't happy connecting to my AMD box for some
reason.
All 3 drives burn normal DVD +R and -R reliably.
So the lesson seems to be - find a brand of disk that works for you.
For me it's Fortis. Never heard of them before but there you go. This
is all quite frustrating, and reminds me of the early days of burning
CD-R's where every other disk is a coaster.
cheers,
TWJ
