Strange Dvd-r Burning Problems

[sebastian_insua]

A month ago I bought 100 DVD-R's from BigPockets.co.uk after copying 1 of the DVD's the others all started not copying and giving errors.
So I updated my DVD-R's firmware to SONY DVD RW DRU-510A 1.1f. However the disc's continued not to work (while a DVD-RW did work - so i knew that is was them not the DVD writer) so I sent them back (thinking it was an incompatability problem - and reading the decription it did mention incompatibility with Sony drives).

I decided to get "Business Special **Grade A Duplication Quality Media** 4x DVD-R" as this sounded pretty fail safe.
I burnt 5 DVD-R's which worked perfectly.
However when i tried to burn the 6th discs the problem sprung its ugly head again.

I discovered that for some discs that gave me an error i could burn at 1x and they would not give a write error.
However these discs would not be recognised in my DRU-510A or my Pioneer DVD-656a DVD Player.
They will be recognised by a Sony DDU1612.

I then found some discs did not want to burn even on 1x speed.
I tried burning onto these discs backups of films using DVD-Shrink and Pinnacle InstantCD+DVD (This didn't work).
I also tried burning using DVD-shrink and DVD-decrypter (This didn't work).


I finally tried using 321 Studios DVDXcopy Platinum (This worked as it played in my DRU-510A - but the DVD would not play in my DVD-656a DVD-Player only).

Something which may be to do with this is that the DVD's I burned with DVDXCopy Platinum were CDFS (Joliet) DVD's not UDF DVD's....??

Do you have any idea what to do...?
I am gonna get a copy of Nero and try with that (and perhaps try copying the Discs with UDF on).

[{I}{K}{E}]

what program do you use to burn?

I use Nero and I only had 3 or 4 problems when I burned @ 4 speed but its always possible some disks just wont burn... so I dont mind 4 out of around 100 goes in the trash. I have a poineer 8X but I always burn at 2 speed.

Your problem is maybe the software you use ATM. Try nero and when you try to copy an original DVD use the guide from the pinned topic made by 'ad'


btw. I always used PRINCO 4 speed DVD-r

I hope for you, you can burn soon without problems ;)

Yes nero is the perhaps the best choice. If you want to use an alternative make sure you burn it at UDF 1.02 which is the native format for dvd's.

I remember years ago when i first bought my dvd writer even nero would cause problems burning, so i stopped using the default DVD VIDEO compilation method on nero and burnt it as DVD ROM (UDF) instead and it worked every time.

Nero have improved the software since and their default DVD VIDEO works fine every time.

I just tried DVDshrink with Nero (the latest version from Suprnova) and got this errror message twice (see below - Gives an error at the 100% stage).

Could not perform end of Disc-at-once

2 out of the 3 DVD's I have since burnt didnnot work in my DVD player (but worked in my D Drive and E Drive. Do you have any Idea what the problem is???:
