WHy ? Pls help me .. so sad .. :( I have made 4 coasters in a row! I was told by CHewy that maybe my dvd - R got a speck of dust ? or my drive is faulty ? Me din not touch the lens only blow and at the grey circular thing in the dvd drive ..

that's about the only thing out of place, but i doubt it's the problem,
take a known good burn and do a transfer test with cdspeed

[droozy]

Thanks Chewy.. what can the transfer test diagnose ? Any link for me to read . I am now in the process of doing the fifth burn again . THis time I transfer all my files back to my laptop's hdd.. sob sob..

But I will follow yr intructions after that !

[Chewy]

it's grasping at the last straw to see how your drive's reading
replacement burners for laptops are very expensive?

Is it still under warranty?

sob sob.. not under warranty anymore ? Not sure whether expensive . But my burner is only abt 2 years old ?!

[Chewy]

know anyone with an external dvd burner you could borrow?

[droozy]

know anyone with an external dvd burner you could borrow?

no no .. unless i go and buy one .

[droozy]

Did a transfer test as u instructed ... one staight yellow line burning at 2x and one almost straight green colour up all the way to 2.78x with a few jagged edges on the line but straight line. so it will mean my drive has no problem rt ?

So now wat is the problem ?

[Chewy]

jagged edges are bad burns or bad reads or both, now if you could do a test on that disk in another computer and no jagged lines I would suspect
your drive is malfunctioning.

[drfsupercenter]

Maybe burn at 2x if your discs support it?

[Chewy]

Burn process completed successfully at 2x (2,770 KB/s)

log

[drfsupercenter]

Erm... if it tops at 2.somethingX, then why not burn at 2.0x? Should work fine... as seen there.

BTW, what is considered 1x... the time of the movie or a standard data rate or something else?

[Chewy]

1x = about an hour of burn time give or take a decade or two

[drfsupercenter]

LOL! Is it by kilobytes? I used to think that 1x was like playing the DVD at 1x speed but obviously it is faster.

[droozy]

Hi Chewy ..

But my transfer test looks like the one posted by blutach on his link on " HOw to test the disc with nero " Still drive faulty "..anyway very funny.. and now when I wanted to do a transfer test it says unrecovered read error 031100

Sometimes I can do transfer test , sometimes I cant.. ????

I mention to u that I transfer my mpg files from my external hdd back to my laptop and did another burn. Now with nero cd dvd speed surface scan, I got a 100% perfect burn ! So wat is going on ?

Is it because my fiiles were in my external hdd " or I really have 5 dvd faulty ??? All verbatim disc ??

Chewy can u teach me how to put a pic on the website so tat I can show u sometime .My chapter 6 only 2mb with 12 mins . But when play that time got the actual time..

Me very puzzled now ..

[droozy]

This is my latest nero log with successful burn 100% gd with surface scan

Putting a pic is simple. Go to http://imageshack.us - then click Browse, select your file and hit Upload. Then use where it says "hotlink for forums" or "thumbnail for forums", copy that texy This is a type 1 forum (don't use the second or type 2 one).

Paste that text here and submit. Viola!

nice to know droozy even with this you got it to work!

good media!

:toast: :clap:

[drfsupercenter]

Chewy, is there another page for firmware for my CD burner? I kinda wanted it to burn faster.

[Chewy]

DRF,
If you study cd burners you will find a very expensive model used to
be king of the hill, the plextor premium with 8MB cache, we used to keep
3 or 4 working at our shop, did a lot of mobile and internal DJ stuff!
A little over a year ago I tested a nec 3520 dvd burner against the plex
cd burner. The plex had been 100$, the nec 40$, the nec won!
That makes your cdburner spare change(moral of this story).

[drfsupercenter]

Yeah either way I don't have enough money to buy myself a new burner... and it is nice to do on the fly copying. That one firmware site does not allow me to download the firmware, is there another one?

[Chewy]

try again, their servers are very busy, and save don't open!

[droozy]

nice to know droozy even with this you got it to work!

good media!

:toast: :clap:
huh ? Chewy.. so actually happen to my problems previously ? What does that statement that you have highlight cause any problem ?

Pls enlighten me . Re transfer

That's what happens when I do Save Target As.

Maybe you could dl and then upload for me? (http://rapidshare.de)

[droozy]

That means my drive no problem at all Chewy ?

Wat error is this tat u mentioned ?

Now, when copying CDs, should I put source in CD burner and blank in DVD burner and do on the fly? It reads sort-of fine.

cof from cd burner to dvd burner @ 16x, graphs don't lie, I overestimated the worth of your cd burner at $5. LG makes good dvd burners!
Unfortunately you have an LG cd burner, and a Samsung dvd burner.

You can't make a "silk purse out of a sow's ear" just a better sow's ear.

LOL!

So would the next step be replacing the CD burner, or buying a new DVD burner, moving the Samsung to slave and putting the new one as master?

And the reason it sucks now is because it is almost 4 years old... used to be able to copy CDs in 5mins... now it takes longer... crappy drive!
