[SloppyJoe31]

Hey guys, Im having problems burning my ISOs. I use ripit4me to create them and recently since i updated the program image burn hasnt been able to burn them, it almost finishes the burn and then comes up with :
I/O error

Read and implement the Golden Rules of Burning.

that burner is a little old and your firmware way out of date,

DVDW TS-H552U US03

http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=2011

download US08 and the flash utility and extract to a new folder on your desktop

boot into safe mode and update your drive(empty/no disks)

[SloppyJoe31]

I'm way new to this. Something that i think could be wrong is that i cant find the file i once had to burn to imageburn straight from dvd shrink, so im creating an ISO on my harddrive then burning it separately. Im sorry, but i dont know how to update my firmware cuz i dont even know what firmware is and i dont know which program to choose from. I see that i should be using verbatim DVDs i am currently using memorex. Also my DMA is on mode 6 and i dont know how to change it to 5. What else can you see by the way the log looks? any other suggestions? and chewy i have no idea how to do any of that. i have much to learn, but im a quick learner. I downloaded the US08 file, but for some reason it wont let me use the flash file.

[Chewy]

dma 6 is a hard drive not a dvd burner

Your burner struggled to burn a little more than half the burn in 8 minutes so dma is probably on for the dvdburner?

firmware is the code the burner uses to identify and burn the blank

just download those 2 files, put them in a folder together and click on the flash utility and it should select the firmware

[SloppyJoe31]

Wow guys, thanks! everything works fine now. The quality isnt that good with nemo, but i assume thats just because theres alot of data with all the graphics in that movie. other than that everything is very smooth, thanks for everything!

[Chewy]

I would verify those burns, had some of those blanks(fuji's) and they have a few bad spikes in them

[SloppyJoe31]

Verify in Imageburn? If that is what your talking about, i have it set to verify automatically. I just put the dvd in my player and it worked. any suggestions on quality? or is that just because it had to be shrunken down?

[Chewy]

use shrink to reauthor and lose everything but the main movie

if you have to compress below 80-90 then use da and aec

Verify in ImgBurn is always a good idea, especially with questionable media.

If you aren't familiar with DVD Shrink Quality settings and the AEC options, the link below should help. AEC will make a huge difference when a fair amount of compression is needed.
