can't burn a dvd with any burning program

[juandan60]

Hi, I Have burned lots of dvd's with nero 6 and Imgburn but now I can't burn a dvd, I can a burn a ISO file with a cd-r using nero burning rom or Imgburn,
it will play in my pc but not in my standalone dvd player, the media I'm using is Verbatim, I have the latest firmware for my samsung sh-183L burner I don't know if this is relevant but all my drives are sata drives hdd, dvd-rw, dvd-rom
I've been told I might have a dma problem but I thought if you have sata drives you can forget about dma, I don't know I'm just a novice

A burn log from either Nero or ImgBurn might help us help you.

For ImgBurn, if you go to Tools / Settings / File Locations, it will show you where the log is saved. When you find it, just copy & paste into a reply post here.

Thanks for your help Imgburn log, as I said I can only burn a ISO file with Imgburn and nero burning rom the burned dvd won't play in my dvd player

I have since uninstalled the sata dvd-rw and installed IDE dvd-rw, it seems to work ok I've just burned a avi file with nero, could it be the sata dvd burner? I've it had about 9 months but I've burned alot of dvd's in that time

[cynthia]

For ImgBurn, if you go to Tools / Settings / File Locations, it will show you where the log is saved.

Main Menu -> Help -> ImgBurn Logs

is faster.

Main Menu -> Help -> ImgBurn Logs

is faster.

I have always been slow, just taking the scenic route.

[blutach]

This is the 3rd forum you've tried and you're gunna get the same answer (it's not as if you didn't get lots of responses on ImgBurn Forum and Doom9).

You have a DMA problem! Fix it.

a sata burner in pio mode?

've just burned a avi file with nero

Do you have this log to post. Which drivers are you using?

[Westly32]

Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: MCC 03RG20)

Oh dear, these again. Were the discs, by chance, Verbatims? Sounds like you're having the same issue I had recently. Try a different brand-look for some small packs of blanks on sale (Sony's preferably), and see if those will burn.

a sata burner in pio mode?

If it is a sata Burner in pio mode, how hard is that to fix?
Is uninstall for the sata the same as a ide burners?
Is there any danger of losing the hard drive when you uninstall a dvd burner.
Its just the dvd driver right? I need to get my drive out of pio mode.
