It appears that the burn starts and then fails after a few seconds. I've tried everything I know to do without success , so I'm posting here hoping that someone can help me find the problem. I'll list my hardware, software and media in the next paragraph. I'm wondering if I've finally worn out my DVD writer it is several years old and has seen a lot of use or if the problem is software related. I'll post the Nero 7 log after I list my software, hardware and media. I build my own computers and have for years.
I know my way around hardware and just know enough about software to install and update it. I do regular maintenance to keep my computers running smoothly usually, anyway. The computer I'm using has been running well for the past two years. Hardware: Intel P4 3. Verbatim 8x and 16x DVD-R media - both burned at 8x speed.
I have plenty of free hard drive space and available memory. As I mentioned above, all goes well until the actual burn starts.
A few seconds into the burn I get the burn failure error message. I have verified that the DVD media had a small, partial burn. Below is a copy of the log from Nero 7 that I'm hoping holds the key to the problem and that someone can decipher and help me with. If the problem can't be identified from what I have posted, then I will have to reformat the drive and start all over which I really, really, really, REALLY don't want to have to do - unless all else fails.
Try burning with ImgBurn instead. Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he'll eat for life. Hey Mats. I could give that a try since I have the program and have used it before, but I'd like to get this problem figured out and solved - if possible. I can use one of our other computers to burn the DVDs we want to put in our vehicle right now.
As a matter of fact I'm doing just that right now with my wife's laptop and an external USB DVD Burner I have, since we want to take a few movies with us on an upcoming trip. My current main desktop computer was burning fine before, and I need to get it working again. Using the wife's laptop to burn these few DVDs for our trip is fine, however, this would not be an agreeable solution for very long I'm sure. Don't unnecessarily fight with Nero software unless you really have to.
How and why it fails I'm sure even Ahead don't know, since if they did, they wouldn't have to release "updates" every week. Have you tried using the external burner that currently is on the laptop on your desktop unit to see if it works? If it works, then your problem is in your burner itself. The Pioneer DVR isn't the newest of burners and they can go bad.
I've had 3 or 4 burners go bad over the years. Don't know, wouldn't hurt to start with cleaning it. The more troubling thing is this DRM entry, apparently you haven't made an image of that disc, but already made one copy of it. Is there a limit to the number of copies? Good to see a few people catch those serials out in their logs before posting. Considering you have an external usb burner for the laptop , that would be a place to start with a test.
Connect it to the desktop , and see if the same issue reappears. If error dose reappear , then. A: Disable autorun for optical drive. B: Disconnect second hard drive. C: Replace ide cable for optical unit with a "new" cable. Rerun burn test once more. Should error persist , and log indicates "Power calibration error " , then the choices are : A: psu should be upgraded , or B: unit returned as defective In consideration of the fact that the system os has been completely reinstalled , and the error remains.
In almost all cases , power calibration error fault can be tracked down to a poorly manufactured psu , or the fact that the end user will use the same ide cable , that the old unit was previously using. Always use a brand new cable.
Hello everyone. I just got back from my trip and have just now read your suggestions which I appreciate. If that fails, 5th - I'll take my. Thanks again for all of the suggestions. I'll try the above and post back with the results. You forgot the most important step: Use software not made by Ahead. In your case, you honestly may not care since you have the originals, but you can make your own mind up after reading it as to whether you think burning with Nero is still something you want to do or not.
Certainly if your video is of critical importance to you it may matter, but multiple backups will probably be more prudent, and desirable in any case,.
OK, the results of my testing are in and thanks to the suggestions posted here, the problem has been found and resolved. The disk burned without any problems, so that led me to the next logical step.
