Error while burning, every time...
Hi and please bear with me here... I'm a complete newbie to burning DVDs and just found this board in my search to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Here's the scenario:
I just got a Memorex 16x dual layer +/- DVD burner and my husband installed it, everything seems to be working fine. A friend came over with DVD43 and DVD Wizard Pro, so I installed those. I'm doing everything I'm supposed to, and still I can't get it to work right...
The DVD rips fine (except one that was pretty scratched up, so I assumed that's why it didn't work), the problem is when it comes to burning. It starts up, then goes to "5files of 11 burnt", the DVDburner shows activity as well as the progress bar, it MAY get as far as "6 files of 11 burnt" and then it stops. The burner goes silent, and after a while an error message pops up saying "error, failure to write section 83746" or whatever #... HELP! I've tried using +discs, I've tried using - discs (my friend said sometimes the program only likes one or the other). I burn at 8x, I see from other posts that it's recommended to never burn at more than 4x so I will try that, but I don't want to waste too many blanks either, those things aren't free... LOL!
The movies I'm trying to copy are retail movies, but my own. The one and only one I did get to FINISH burning, ripped wrong for some reason (ripped a whole movie in less than 5 mins? I don't think so, LOL! And it only burned about 3/8" from the center, then said done and DVD finshed... won't play, gets error message but I expected as much). I want to be able to burn copies of my daughters movies mainly, to have a "spare" since kids are hard on movies and I'd like to keep the originals nice.
So ANY help would be greatly appreciated!!!! What am I doing wrong, what could I do to fix it, yada yada yada. Thanks in advance!!!!
