I have a NEC 3500, a BenQ 1655, and a TSSTcorp 652. All burn Ridata (Ritek, Ricoh, some Memorex, Matrix) as well as what all burners love, Verbatim. My NEC loves to burn the Verbatim at 4X although it will burn faster.
Will not the drive that did the burning make the layer break change? Is it just a standalone that won't make the change?
Yeah I know, I really should try to get some decent media first. But I'm starting to doubt they have those here at all. Even if they sell them as authentic discs they're probably fake, so it's not that easy. No, it's not just the standalone that would freeze, the DVD drive does as well. So the problem is with the disc, not the player.
As I have a brand new drive, it hasn't occurred to me to clean it yet. But I'll try anything that might help burn successfully.
Hobbit, I didn't change anything in the log, I copied the complete log for that particular burn and pasted it on here. I know I can't erase a DVD+R, it was dumb to try I know. Never mind that part!
Anyway, until I get better media, I'll try scanning for spyware and cleaning my drive. Who knows, it might work for me as well.
Is there anybody who tried burning on a notebook?
If you didn't cut and paste your log then something wierd is allowing your program & drive to change it's opinion on what media it has.
I also use AVG free edition, adaware & ccleaner (a registry cleaner) on a regular basis. I also recommend that you do virus, adware, and regustry scans.
Burning DLs on a laptop is geatly defendent on your drive. If your drive is a Matshita, it's hit or miss. Mine is so variable that I purchased an external burner for my lappy in order to get decent burns.
