I just bought my first dvd drive/burner. I have tried burning a Video_TS folder using Nero and I have also tried making an IMG file with Shrink and then using Decryptor to burn it. But both of these methods have given me errors. Nero just tells me the burn failed, about 10 seconds after starting the burn. Decryptor gives me the following error.
I/O Error!
Device:[1:0:0]LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1213S TS05(d:)
ScscStatus: 0x02
Interpretation:Check Condition
CDB:2A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 10 00
Interpretation: Write(10) - Sectors:0-15
Sense Area: 10 00 05 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 2C 00 00 00 00 00
Interpretaion:Command Sequence Error
I found a similar post on these boards that basically said it was the dvd's themselves that were bad. I am using Memorex dvd's. They always worked fine for me with cd's so I didn't know any better when buying them. I now see that other brands are recommended over them.
I tried using ForceASPI and also updating my Firmware from LiteOn. The ForceASPI seems to install fine. But the Firmware didn't look good. It reached 100% but then afterwards said it was unable to flash the new firmware. So I tried again and now it says that it's already updated and does not need to be run.
I'm thinking this isn't a a software problem as both Nero and Decryptor didn't work. So it's probably something with my drive and the way it's installed is my best guess.
Can anyone provide some insight?
Thanks, I appreciate any help you can offer.

FYI ... An improperly flashed drive and ruin the drive.
Hopefully your drive isn't ruined. Did you install Nero's InCD? If so uninstall it. What aspi layer did you install? Can you post your specific steps using Shrink w/ Nero and Shrink w/ Decrypter? Can you post your system specs?

Hey Flip, thanks for your reply.
No, I do not have Nero InCD installed nor have I ever.
I used ForceASPI 1.7 to install ASPI Layer v4.60.
I used Nero as a stand alone to try and burn the vob, ifo, and bup files. I followed the guide posted on this site exactly. Selecting to burn a new DVD Video, then adding the files to the Video_TS folder of the new complilation, then starting the burn. It starts what appears to be the burn process but within just a few seconds it stop and says burn failed. I noticed on the onscreen log it says "disc changed" as the only thing that stands out as strange. I was unable to find this error on google or afterdawn. Then also if I try again shortly there after I get an error "buffer too large" instead of the "disc changed" error. This I was able to find a few things about but nothing that helps the problem at all. I can create/post the straight logs from Nero if that would be of help, but as they are so long I will refrain unless anyone asks for them.
I then used Shrink to make an ISO image file. Then I went into Decryptor, changed the mode to ISO->Write, browse to the ISO file, make sure to unselect Verify as I have seen recommended in various posts on these boards, then attempt to burn. Within seconds of it starting I get the message that I pasted in my last post.
The Firmware update appeared to finish completely and did not say that it was unable to flash it until I was closing the update application. If I restart the update it shows my version as currently being TS08 where as previously it said TS05. It still plays DVD's just fine, if that matters at all.
Not sure what specs you want so here is everything I can think of.
OS:Win XP Pro
Burner: LiteOn 1213S ± 12x
CPU:AMD Athlon XP 2600
MB:Chaintech, not sure of model number. Can go
digging for the box if necessary.
Memory:1Gb
HD:200Gb Seagate
VideoCard:Geforce 4
Thanks for looking at my problem. Really appriciate any help or advice.

What brand of media are you using?

Memorex. I had always used that brand of CD R's so I didn't know any better at the time I bought them. I have since read on these boards that I should be avoiding Memorex.
I've gone through about 5 of them so far and all have the same problem. Could the brand really be causing this much trouble?

Yes ...

Too many Memorex users here -
Memorex is an excellent example as media goes, figures as high as 50% coasters have been reported (One member bought a stack of 50 and got 23 good burns.), not what I would call an impressive record. There are 4 different companies that manufacture Memorex BTW and product quality varies widely as you might imagine. Easy to see now why the quality of a big-named company can?t be trusted - ? Who?s making your Memorex tonight ?? Note: Memorex in the singles, 5 or 10 pack, as a rule, cause less problem than those Memorex sold in bulk BUT they still aren't recommended for DVD backups.
1. * Cheap media freezes, skips, pixelats and may refuse to be recognized :-(
Besides "Freezing", "skips" and pixelations, many times you?ll get a ?Cyclic Redundancy error? or an "I/O error". This message can mean that your discs are scratched or dirty, it can also mean that your burner won?t accept your ?cheap? media :-(
Another problem which ?pops up? is a ?*Power Calibration Error?. This can stop you right in your tracks and most often is caused by, Yep, you guessed it, inexpensive media.
*A ?Power Calibration Error? can also be attributed to the Optical Components of a DVD Writer, though this isn?t usually the case. Trying to shut down your software and ejecting your DVD then restarting your program and re-inserting the same media recently cleaned has been known to help.
Inexpensive media or even average media is great for text, Data, Spreadsheets, .Jpg and .Gif pictures and is good even for MP3 music BUT for DVD backups - BLAaaaaaT! It SUCKTH in an extremely Big-th way !
2. A good grade media is needed for DVD reproduction !
?Branded? Ritek G04's or Branded Verbatim are what we?re looking for OR any media boasting ?Advanced Metal AZO.?, this indicates a superior dye application, while they are sometimes a bit ?pricey? they are acceptable.
Prices online from Meritline.com have gotten Ritek G04 starting at about a 1/2 dollar($ .50 USD) a disc -
Question - If you make coasters out of 3 cheap or even average discs and good copies from 3 Branded Verbatim discs or 3 ?Branded? Ritek G04 discs - which ones then will you say are too expensive ? The 3 ?Cheapo?s with no movie backup OR, the 3 recommended discs with a perfect backup on each disc ?
Bear in mind, Memorex, Fuji, Sony, TDK, Orange Pack and others are quite good for your MP3 music, picture archives, Spread sheets, Data and your text backups and archives, they just don?t work well for DVD backups. Even DataSafe G04?s made by Ritek have been reported as inferior quality and are evoking that ?Oh no, I shouldn?t have gotten those.?
Remember, for DVD backups, purchasing inexpensive media or even average media is a gamble, some people win, the majority of people lose, varying amounts but, they still lose :-(
Let's try the right media for the job - just buy a 5 pack of what we recommend that will settle it once and for all - Don?t cheat though, buy the EXACT media we recommended -
Using good grade media can guarantee you one thing to an absolute certainty; it surely cannot hurt.
BTW, In an effort to clear the air, when I speak of "Cheap" or "Inexpensive" media, I'm not referring to the price you pay at the counter - I'm referring to the type of composite some manufactures use, their method of dye application and the lack of OR the poor quality control used during manufacturing. when I say "Branded" that means that when you pick up a disc in your hand, it says "Ritek" or "Verbatim" on the disc itself. The monetary cost of the media we recommend many times is cheaper than that you are buying now.
cheers,
Pete
FAIR WARNING. . . Memorex users, using that "Cheap" media, your backups may not last all that long -
One thing I haven't addressed is the life of a backup made on an "el cheapo" disc. We all know that data, music and video backups on CD's and DVD's will last forever, well, if not forever for at least 100 yrs or so - That's what we've read and that's why we backup our treasures to disc, so that they'll be safe. "BLAaaaT" (the bone chilling sound of an emergency air horn), Wrong, Dead Wrong ! Don't throw the originals away, you may very well need them. Your video camera tapes and family pictures, may not be there the next time you want to look at them. "Point of fact," inferior discs have a tendency to "Break down" in time. In a very short time, we're talking disc breakdown in less than a single year, as little as 6 to 8 months. Important, please read -

Wow I really had no idea it could be such a problem. I'll go ahead and try a few more out and then go get some better quality ones.
Thanks very much Flip and ScubaPete!
