I am new at this and have been learning for the past week or so......searching, searching, searching. I have gotten a lot of great info from this forum and need some help.
Through reasoning and deduction I have decided that my drive may be bad or the media is not compatible but I don't have enough experience so......
Drive: new Sony DW-Q30A just installed as master and cd rw drive as slave.
Software: Nero, DVD Shrink/Decrypter, Img Burn.
o/s: Windows XP Home ed.
Media: TDK DVD+R 8X CMC MAG E01 (yeah, the good stuff!)
I have no trouble ripping to the hard drive, but out of 6 attempts with different dvds, have only 1 good burn. These are not new movies I'm backing up, "Tombstone", for example. Gave my buddy some of these TDK discs and he had no problem burning to them. Compatibility? There's more...
When I put a "bad burn" disc in the drive I get a "no disc in drive" message. When I put a "store bought" dvd in the drive, WMP says there is no media present and Interactual Player says "Error PL4013: Playback failed due to a problem with the video subsystem." So, I can't play good dvds from the new drive.
Also, used Nero CD-DVD Speed to check bad burn discs. When I click on the Disc Info tab it reads "No disc inserted" and the Start button will not highlight to allow for its use.
I can't think of anything else to add.....please, tell me what you think.
