problem is that any type of medium i use no matter what i choose i can't seem to read the disk in any other drive other than my burner it is like the burner is not closing the disk! so it can be read in any stand alone drive! [bold]accept for the dvd/rw 4.7 1X/4X disk! but even at that won't play on my dvd player for computer but it will on my home unit![/bold]
thanks pete! you have been great help in the past! ok it's on all forms of disks cd/r rw] [dvd/r rw] + and - i choose the settings to close session and finalize disk. i think maybe the way i have my disks hooked up could be the probs here. but not understanding why though! i have primary cable c:\local to d:\local and secondary e:\dvd lite-on sohw8125 burner as master] and f:\dvd panasonic player as slave! on a 667mhz emachine! for clearing up the provider id for me and the good review you gave me on helping out in the forum! made me feel pretty darn good about myself thank you! and have a great day! _ _X_X_X_X_X_[small]¤•,:`~JAYS_XP~`:,•¤[/small]
I just put in a call to a friend of mine, fasfrank - He should make an appearance shortly to give us a hand -
hi jays_xp, So let me make sure I understand whats going on here..... Your ROM cannot read burned discs. Your burner can read the burned discs. DVD R/W media.... You are going to have to explain that one again. I think you meant the word "except", not the word accept". I assume you are using a burning program that allows the speed of the burn to be set. If so, set your burn speed to a lower speed. Try it at 1X, if that works bring the speed up. Media type is very important, cheap media is going to give you all kinds of transfer rate problems when burned at high speed. Get Verbatim or Ritek G-04. Have you tried different formats (-R, +R)? Your optical drives are set like this: Primary IDE: Local disc C:\ Local disc D:\ Secondary IDE: Burner E:\ set to "master" DVD ROM F:\ set to "slave" These are correct settings for your primary and secondary IDE channels. My situation is similar to yours. My Sony ROMs (CRX 300 and a DDU 1612) do not like to read burned media. The faster the media was burned the more problems they have, especially the DDU 1612. The media that will read the best is Verbatim Digital Movie DVD 4X -R burned at 4X or less. My Pioneer A-07 is capable of burning -R media at 6-8X that will play fine in my stand alone DVD players. These discs won't read properly in my DVD ROMs though, unless burned at 4X or lower (except the Verbatim). I did transfer speed tests using Nero's CD/DVD speed checking tool, testing Memorex, Maxell, Ritek and Verbatim media. All the discs that were burned at 6-8X, except the Verbatim, failed at some point durning the test with a CRC error. Based on this I suggest that you lower your burn speed and use Verbatim or Ritek G-04 media. Let us know if this helps Cheers, Frank
thank you pete n frank! sorry for the confusion. [bold][primary] [secondary] c:\local drive [master] e:\dvd burner [master] d:\local drive [slave] f:\dvd player [slave][/bold] i try to burn a disk i want to close out the disk and finalize the disk so that it will play on all roms or players at home and computer! i choose the functions to make this disk readable on any cd or dvd drive. and when it ejects the cd or dvd. it is readable in my home dvd player and my dvd burner. [except the dvd/r that doesn't work at all] on drive f:\dvd player [slave] or the home unit. but not in my dvd player known as drive f:\dvd player [slave] could this mean that my drive f:\is not compatiable of reading dvd/r or rw + and - medium? and this does the same thing with making data or music or mixxed cd's on cd/r and cd/rw's could the problem be the same when trying to read the cd/r and cd/rw disk using my drive f:\dvd player [slave]? and if so could i find a solution to this problem? " it however the dvd/rw + n - does play flawless on my home dvd player" can't tell the difference between the 2 on dvd movies. all to gether what i think the problem is! is operator error---->jays_xp hahahah! big thanks from me to you guys for your help! _ _X_X_X_X_X_[small]¤•,:`~JAYS_XP~`:,•¤[/small]
What program(s) are you using to burn your discs? What brand of DVD media are you using? Do this: A Google search for your Panasonic. Read the specifications and determine what media formats are compatible. Download DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter. Use Shrink to create an ISO image, selecting the option to have Decrypter burn the disc automatically. Use high quality media that is compatable with your stand-alone DVD player. Consider replacing your DVD ROM $30-$50US will give you many to choose from. _X_X_X_X_X_[small]motorcycle racer computer newbie Sony VAIO Suzuki GSXR1000 [/small]
i have tried roxio6,nero6 dvd shrink 2.3 and 3.17,dvd x copy express, dvd to dvd, nti6, sonic dvd wich came with the burner all major programs. media used is hp dvd+rw/+r 4.7gb 4x speed lite-on dvd+rw/+r 4.7gb 8x speed i tried dvd shrink 3.17 to and choosing the option to burn to disk using nero6.0 using max speed. so you suggest burning at a max speed could be a factor here so lowwer speed could be a resolvment to this situation here. i can give it a try and let you know my progress. thanks for the tips bro!
Yes, try a slower burn speed. Get some Verbatim or Ritek G-04 media. BTW, Roxio and Nero don't work well together, so if you still have Roxio installed, you should probably remove it.
ok kool good bye to roxio and in with nero and out with the cheap media and in with the money disks lol i will update you on my progress as it turns out. thanks bro have a nice day!
Sorry, have no idea who makes HP discs. It may well be Ritek (over 50% of all made, made by them) I will bet that if it’s Ritek, it’s not G04 Dye application. Use this tool to find out - http://www.dvdinfopro.com/ Memorex is a good example, figures as high as 50% coasters have been reported (One member bought a stack of 50 and got 23 good burns.), not what I would call an impressive record. Many times you’ll get a “cyclic redundancy error”. This message can mean that your discs are scratched or dirty, it can also mean that your “cheap” media won’t be accepted by your burner :-( Let’s get your media straightened out - 1.* Cheap media skips, freezes, fuzzes, pixelats, refuses to be recognized, partially jams and of course, our good old standby, happening far too often, either isn’t accepted, doesn’t burn or won’t play at all :-( Inexpensive media is great for text, Data, Spreadsheets, .Jpg and .Gif pictures and is good even for MP3 music BUT for DVD backups - BLAaaaaaT! It SUCKTH in an extremely Big-th way ! 2. A good grade media is needed for DVD reproduction ! Ritek G04's or Verbatim are what we’re looking for OR any media boasting “Advanced AZO Metal Dye”, this indicates a superior dye application, while they are a bit “pricey” they are acceptable. Prices online from Meritline.com have gotten Ritek G04 down below a dollar a disc - Question - If you make coasters out of 3 cheap discs and good copies from 3 Verbatim discs or 3 Ritek G04 discs - which ones then are too expensive ? Bear in mind, Memorex, Fuji, Sony, TDK, Orange Pack and others are quite good for your MP3 music, picture archives, Spread sheets, Data and your text backups and archives, they just don’t work well for DVD backups. Remember, for DVD backups, purchasing inexpensive media is a gamble, some people win, the majority of people lose, varying amounts but, they still lose :-( Using good grade media can guarantee you one thing to an absolute certainty, it surely cannot hurt. NOT RECOMMENDED (*A sometimes fix is to compress your DVD to somewhere around 4.3 Gig even. By reducing the amount to be burned you can stay away from the edges where the dye tends to be uneven and the discs may be brittle.) Yet another trick is to start your DVD in your PC’s PowerDVD player, let it play for a minute then open your program and begin to process the DVD while it’s playing, as soon as your program finds the DVD, turn off the player. A reminder, play your DVD in your DVD-ROM. It’s easier for your PC to read the disc and it is much easier on your DVD burner. Constant stopping and starting of your burner required to read a disc could cause premature wearing out of your drive.
