DVD Burner is giving huge error at 1.2GB on Neros "DVD speed" test..help!

Not a problem there mikej3131

The 3rd connection is just the audio cable.

Anymore there really is a diff between master and slave. The terminology sounds like it should be something else but isn't really. It just what connection on the ide cable - like 1st or 2nd you could say.
Though it is better not to have an optical drive set as slave or master on the same ide cable as the hard drive.
I usually have my main burner set to master and the other one I read/rip from set to slave.

You can post back your configuration from Nero if you like and we can make a recommendation.

Might just want to pick up the LiteOn anyhow - the price is right

 

Oh they're good - I've done many, many burns on them and coasters are few and far between. I can't even remember the last time I had one w/ a LiteOn.

Keeping the pc running clean and updating the firmware goes a long way too.

 

That is good news!
Helluva scan too.

Nice price on the external LiteOn.

Yes the internal are even better than externals (don't get me wrong externals are good too but on some setup's and some software there is sometimes a conflict - not always though).

If you decide to keep it - the latest firmware is PSOB.

 

I have the same drive (internal) came with the PSOA too. No problems w/ it but did update to PSOB.

Don't know what media codes were in the latest so since you're using Verbs may not make a diff. If you start burning dual layer discs I would definitely update.

 

The only diff is the 165H6S has LightScribe. Both are good drives.

Your error message- how did you rip the file to your hard drive? It's showing you trying to open a file from your C drive (usually the hard drive).
Yeah I've gotten that message when I picked the wrong drive So if you trying to rip from the disc w/ Clone change the path.

 

Hmmm I guessing Scarface has a playback problem in that spot?

Try playing it back in the LiteOn and see if that spot plays ok.

No 2 drives scan the same. Some are better than others.
Take one of the same discs you scanned with the LiteOn and scan it again - this time at a different read speed. Probably won't get exactly the same results.
I put more stock in how they play and being able to re rip much later.

I have a scan of a Ritek for example done over 2 years ago (burned on a LiteOn) that has a score of 0. To look at it you would think playback would be horrible if at all and read errors out the ying yang.
Neither one is true . Plays fine and can re rip w/o a problem.
Does this always hold true though- not at all. Kinda why I put more faith in playback.

 

No - I've been using LiteOn drives for over 3 years and they are one of the best imho. I'm not the only one here that uses and recommends them. I wouldn't recommend them if I did not have personal experience with them.
I do alot of burning and they have stood the test of time.

Different forums will have different ones they like. Nothing wrong w/ LG - BenQ is a great drive too - would have recommended that one 2 but they are hard to find if you can find them since BenQ was bought by LiteOn.
On newegg you notice a lot of the reviews are good too for LiteOn.

Same can go for most good drives - reviews/recommends though you never know what the users knowledge/experience is so can go both ways.
I wouldn't try and steer you wrong

 

Could be how & what you used to burn the disc.
Like doing a mulitsession disc.

So what kind of file were you burning? And how did you do it - like used Nero burning rom using the iso/udf option.

There's always a reason Just need to figure it out.

 

No I don't think it has a problem with split movies (not something I do - have only done 2x I think). But I have put smaller files on discs and all was okay.
I'm not familiar w/ splitting w/ Clone - only used Shrink to do it.
My thought is it has something to do with the split w/ Clone and how it burned it.
2 gig seems high for 30 mins but I could be wrong (math could be way off) - some players have a problem with discs under 1 gig so that might be the problem. (?)
Did they play back in the drive?

 

I thought you got an external? Either way they are plug and play - they use Window's drivers.

What was the error code in the pop up - that one gives you the drive that's causing the problem.
