ive had problems with my LG burner before ..see links below from previous threads... i got the comptuer to finally recognize and install the drivers.. and i can burn, but when i play it in my standalone, its all pixelated .. and bad. ive used this media before and was successful only a cple weeks ago.. and nothign is working.. ive tried burning as a vcd and a svcd.. i take off the standard compliant thing and everything but im still gettin pixelation. i have a log from nero usin my old media and it burned with pixelation too..ill post that log.. i realize that the burner doesnt like this media, but maybe the rest of the log might help to determine..ill post a regular log when i try burnin with the new media Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: File 'Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.45, size=172099 bytes, created 7/9/2005 7:38:08 PM ahead WinASPI: File 'C:\programs\rippingtools\NERO\nero 6.6.0.12\program files\Nero\Wnaspi32.dll': Ver=2.0.1.74, size=164112 bytes, created 10/26/2004 6:35:34 PM Nero Version: 6.6.0.12 Internal Version: 6, 6, 0, 12c Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B>Version: A102 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.12 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ATAPI CD-ROM: <HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B>Version: A102 - HA 1 TA 0 - 6.6.0.12 Adapter driver: <atapi> HA 1 === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : MAXTOR 4K020H1 atapi Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : WDC WD1200BB-22GUA0 atapi Port 0 ID 1 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B atapi Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-6202B atapi Port 1 ID 1 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : Generic DVD-ROM 1.0 d347prt Port 2 ID 1 DMA: Off === CDRom-Device-Map === HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B E: CDRom0 TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-6202B F: CDRom1 Generic DVD-ROM G: CDRom2 ======================= AutoRun : 1 Excluded drive IDs: WriteBufferSize: 40894464 (0) Byte ShowDrvBufStat : 0 BUFE : 0 Physical memory : 255MB (261616kB) Free physical memory: 60MB (62264kB) Memory in use : 76 % Uncached PFiles: 0x0 Use Inquiry : 1 Global Bus Type: default (0) Check supported media : Disabled (0) 20.8.2005 CueSheet 11:49:58 PM #1 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 2868 HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B Buffer underrun protection activated 11:49:58 PM #2 Text 0 File Reader.cpp, Line 127 Reader running 11:49:58 PM #3 Text 0 File Writer.cpp, Line 122 Writer HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B running 11:49:58 PM #4 Text 0 File Burncd.cpp, Line 3153 Turn on Disc-At-Once, using CD-R/RW media 11:51:04 PM #5 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 260 Last possible write address on media: 359848 ( 79:59.73) Last address to be written: 338536 ( 75:15.61) 11:51:04 PM #6 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 272 Write in overburning mode: NO (enabled: CD DVD) 11:51:04 PM #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2339 Recorder: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B; CDRW code: 00 97 26 65; OSJ entry from: CMC Magnetics Corporation ATIP Data: Special Info [hex] 1: 00 00 00, 2: 00 00 00 (LI 0:00.00), 3: 00 00 00 (LO 0:00.00) Additional Info [hex] 1: 00 00 00 (invalid), 2: 00 00 00 (invalid), 3: 00 00 00 (invalid) 11:51:04 PM #8 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 438 >>> Protocol of DlgWaitCD activities: <<< ========================================= This disc is not empty.
