I have previously posted this in Shrink by accident it may be more beneficial here: sorry
I decided to start a new post on this topic because of the drastic (i think) changes to the original problem.
I have a NEC ND-1100A 4X DVD+R /2.4X DVD+RW (dell system)
As of yesterday I was using Fuji DVD+R 4x media and using DVD decrypter and DVD shrink and successfully burned 5 DVDs (and in the past several DVD data discs)
Today:
I ran out of Fuji DVD+R 4x media so i grabbed Fuji DVD+R 8x media (all they had, and i figure they no longer make 4x media; similar to the evolution of CD-R media....)
Now the problems; Software-wise I changed NOTHING; I burned 3 more DVDs (new media) and all 3 burned (but computer would only allow 2.4X burn; i couldn't choose 1x, 2x, 4x) and the computer claimed to burn successfully, but the back-ups would Randomly play in my stand-alone unit, and when they did there were random glitches......)
this is when i posted before, the common solution seemed to update firmware.
I went to Dell and updated firmware to 10GE
At this point i went to use DVD shrink to burn a DVD and discovered that it would only allow 2.4X speed!!
I went to check burn speeds and the computer (regardless of what burning program i chose) would ONLY allow 2.4X speed.
I then searched the internet and these (and similar) forums to see if there is any compatibility issues here or what......
Finally i installed DVD identifier and here is what i got:
[01:33:17] DVD+R/+RW Medium Detected. Starting Identification...
[01:33:17] ** Initiating ADIP Retrieval Method 1 (Original ADIP)
[01:33:17] ERROR : ADIP Read M1 Failed : Illegal request - Invalid field in CDB [05/24/00]
[01:33:17] INFO : ADIP Read Method 1 Not Supported ; Method 2 Will Be Attempted
[01:33:17] ** Initiating ADIP Retrieval Method 2 (Copy Of ADIP)
[01:33:17] ERROR : ADIP Read M2 Failed : Illegal request - Invalid field in CDB [05/24/00]
[01:33:17] INFO : ADIP Read Method 2 Requires A Written DVD+R/+RW Disc
[01:33:17] Disc Identification Did Not Complete Successfully
SO.... at this point i am wondering:
1. Is my drive broken?
2. Is this a compatibility issue with this media and this drive?
3. Is the media crap (DVD identifier says so....)
4. anyone with a NEC 1100A (dell preferebly) have any suggestions on what media i should stick with?
5. Has anyone else used this media (fuji 8x DVD+R) and what did you experience?
and any other info anyone has in this topic would be greatly appreciated...
