Burning Problems All Around

Hey there folks. Need a little assistance, if you'd be so kind.

I'm almost at my wit's end here. Been ripping and burning for a few years now without so much as a hiccup with programs such as Clone DVD 2, Any DVD, DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter & DVD Fab Platinum. Well, all of a sudden I keep getting error messages each and every time it starts to write.

With Clone DVD 2 I keep getting the message "media write error, possibly caused by a bad medium". So I try all types of different media and get the same message with each. And to make matters worse, I get error messages with EVERY program I try including DVD Shrink and DVD Fab Platinum.

I've ran into this before but it never lasted long, which leads me to believe something here is afoul. Burning CDs is never a problem but movies that I've burned before without issue are now giving me... well, issue!

Anyhow, my burner is a Pioneer DVR-105 (Windows), which I've already updated my firmware with. At this point I'm thinking I might just have to invest in another DVD burner but I'm hoping there's another solution.

Any help would be mucho appreciated!

THX!

 

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Well, looks like the removal with Roxiozap did the trick for the time being. Thanks for all of your help. I'll be sure to keep posting if I run into any more trouble.

Thanks again!

 

Here we go again!

Tried burning a couple of movies recently and am now receiving "power calibration errors" instead of "possibly caused by bad medium."

I'm thinking my burner is on its last legs but am curious if it's something else. I've posted the log DVD shrink gave me the last time I attempted a burn.

The Ritek discs require a lot of laser power because of the dye they use. Your Pioneer is an older model that was superb in its time, but may not have enough power for the new 16X Ritek discs, particularly since a laser diode loses power as it ages. You can always keep the Pioneer as a "DVD-ROM" drive and move up to a newer drive for better success.
