First off ive burned probably 300 dvds, so i know what im doing. I have an _NEC DVD_RW ND-2500A. I've never had any problems burning. I had the big lebowski backed up on dvd+rw, and it took about 20 trys to rip the image onto my hard drive. First time i ever ran into that, i kept getting I/O device errors. It finally went though and i burned several copies onto DVD-R media. All copies play perfectly on my dvd player and my PS2. I just backed up star wars also onto a DVD-R, which plays fine on my ps2 and dvd player. I tried to back up some files onto DVD-R but the data verification failed, so i tried again. Its burning the files successfully, but data verification is failing. So I have 4 copies of the big lebowski, 1 copy of star wars, and 2 data dvds of the same data which my pc will not read.
How the hell is my burner able to burn a perfect DVD onto this dvd-r media....but then it cannot read it? I keep getting the error:
"Windows cannot read from this disk. The disk might be corrupt, or it could be using a format not compatable with windows"
The dvd-r media im using was the cheapest dvd-r media on www.shop4tech.com, which is what i always order and ive yet to have problems. Is this just bad media? Is my laser dead?(neither my DVD+/-RW drive nor my DVD ROM drive will read these dvds. It burns fine, just cant read in either)
If its the media should I send it back? The movies seem to burn fine, but if i ever need another copy i wont be able to because my dvd drives cant read the disc, so ill have to use the original, which defeats the whole purpose of making back ups.
I tried uninstalling both of the dvd drive, but no dice. still doesnt work.
