Hello again.

While i appreciate the best of the best trying to help me, as long as they do what my little sister can ("its your drive") i have rights to not believe what i get to hear.

So, now it's the overclocking? Here some examples:

Machine is overclocked since A YEAR. Problem is present since DAYS. (and i'm running the rig at only 2.000 now, if there was a way to edit the post in "PC specs" i'd amend that).

Drive: Works fine with 2.3.2.0. Does NOT with 2.4.1.0 but later, BACK on 2.3.2.0, works fine again.

Cables: See "drive".

@LUK
At first it all seemed well, after i reinstalled that version - both discs were fine. However AFTER posting the logs i noticed that the second burn again started messing up - i.e. after burning, the "supported speeds" stopped at 8x, which is weird. I have no more blank discs now and no material to burn either, otherwise i would make the test you suggested (i.e. burn the same compilation once with the setting enabled and once with it disabled).

I have reinstalled the old version again but i doubt i'll be burning again under Windows - end of the month i get my salary and by then also Ubuntu 8.04 is released and that will be the end of Windows for me and i probably won't use Wine - it doesn't support the only game i play so what for? There's a ton of burning apps for Linux and one will do the job just like ImgBurn (will there be a Linux version some day??)

Regards.....

Hello.

Test will come on Monday. Already got new batch of discs (same Verbatim DVD+R 16x MCC 004), and a new burner (!!!) but no time to do it today.

Will inform of results.

Thanh

I will be looking forward to your tests, I have found that Verbatim discs vary greatly, they are not consistant in their quality, that said, I hope your problem is as easy as using a new batch of discs, let us know the outcome.

I have used about 300 or so MCC 004's and do not recall a failed burn.

Same here - MIC (CMC), MIT (Prodisc and CMC), and MII discs.

@Thanh-BKK - just for giggles, I'd try the current batch of discs on your new burner, before opening up the new ones.

BTW, what new burner did you get?

I have the Exact Same Problem on My vista Machine x64...
I was running XP fine and 3 days ago i upgraded to Vista...
i am running IMG BURN 2.4.1.0, everything was running fine On XP ...

i am burning backups of my XBOX360 Games and When i verify AFTER THE BURN it says the EXACT SAME ERROR....


the Burns are Not Good either as they FREEZE during PLAYBACK, i think it is either Vista related or IMGBURN...

i am Going to Try the OLDER version Of IMGBURN and Try to VERIFY it THERE..

Hello

I am sorry for not replying, i have still not done my testing yet as i was busy getting Linux up and running. I'm almost there yet, so at some stage this week one of Vista's last tasks will be that test.

I can't test the old batch of disks as that batch was used up - the reason for getting new ones

My new burner is another LiteOn (the only ones that come with a silver front - important if everything else on the machine's front is silver!) i don't know on top of my head what type it is but looks just like the old one - probably is even the same.

I also changed graphic cards, the new one is a Nvidia (due to Linux compatibility which i have heard is better with Nvidia's) and it has a better performance in Vista too - because it's got double the RAM (256 instead of 128) and is just newer (GeForce 7200 GS). I don't need high end because i am not a gamer.

As for trying ImgBurn in Wine - i don't think so. No matter what i do, i can't get the freakin' Wine to work the way it should (Ubuntu 8.04, after playing with PCLos2008Gnome which had too many problems) so i guess i'll stick to regular Linux apps.

With best regards......

Hello

Just to let you know what burner i have now......

Lite-On DH20A4P, FW 9P59

I hope that one is a good one??

Best regards.....

Thanh

Hi.

Still no conclusion to this - i have just burned 8 DVDs, all using the new version of ImgBurn, the first 4 on the old burner and the next 4 on the new burner.

All 8 verified fine and are perfectly readable in every drive.

Oh, what they all have in common is that they are a new batch.

So what caused the error then - ImgBurn? Doesn't look so.

The drive? Doesn't look so, either.

The disks? Well.... looks so...... f***ing coincidence i hit the first bad one in the spindle when i tried the new ImgBurn the first time.

Last Windows job completed. Last torrent finished, last DVD burned. E-Mails exported. Bookmarks exported.

Buying new HDD cooling fan tomorrow.

Switch Sunday.

Linux, here i come

Best regards......

Personally I don't care for Liteon, but many others love them. Its a personal preference. I am happy to hear your problem was as easy as a new batch of media.

I'm don't lean towards Lite_on either...I do see some good stuff coming from other members/users, but I just can't bring myself to buy one of their drives.
