Write success at try #2

Post by eddie11013 »

Been getting this every time I use it. It still burns the DVD, so I guess its O.K. Just wondering if there is an issue. Using latest version.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hello,

Bizarre, you are using very good quality media:
09:26:17.520 Info Media ID: TYG03
Burning at 8x should be fine, but if it occurs too often, try reducing to 4x.
09:36:29.444 Info Write finished in 00:10:06.873 - Finalization start here. Avg. burn rate 4.77
Your average burn speed was x4.77 anyway and not x8 !

I would rather have a slower PERFECT burn than an 8x with some errors/issues...

My 2 cents...

Changed burn speed to 4x, still got the 'write success at try #2' issue. If I'm reading the log corrected, there were "46" tries.

I should note that the project did complete successfully. Wondering if its because I'm now using Windows 11. Also, in the past I used the burn program ImgBurn, which I no longer use. Wondering what burn 'program' ConvertXtoDVD is using. I have on my PC, the burn program "BurnAware Free".

Hi,

As mentioned before, you are using quality media, so keep using them.

If the burns are successful, they all play 100% without skips or jam, I would stop worrying I guess :D

Thanks,

While they, DVD's, are working, I'm thinking that there may be "the" issue, just not a big one. What I mean is that I have 'just' used 'two' DVD-RW's and the 'write' issues is only like "4". But the DVD's, as previously noted, is like in the '40's'. Maybe the DVD's are some kind of knock off. Anyway they seem to work so I'll leave it alone. I did buy them on Amazon.

Thanks for replying

Hi,
Media ID: RITEK-004-30
Those Ritek are touch and go as quality, they are "ok"
Media ID: MKM-A02-00
But those are Verbatim, they should be solid media

And yes, RW medias are most likely only support x4 speed to burn...

Stay away from Memorex or any CMC Mag media id, they are cheap and real garbage (My opinion)...

Stick with Verbatin AZO Die, worth every penny.....

They do make 8x DVD+RW, but they are only made by Ritek. So, sometimes compatibility problems arise. Best to stick to 4x. And they used to make 6x DVD-RW, but I don't think you can find that anymore.


Memorex is a bit weird. They're like Verbatim. Both will use Mitsubishi (MKM), the best optical disc manufacturer out there, for their manufacturers but also CMC Magnetics, the worst.


As was said, best stay away from CMC media. I always return CMC media whenever I see it's something I bought. CMC media is responsible for over 50% of the problems we see on the ImgBurn forums. Avoid any Verbatim bought in a brick and mortar store. They will be CMC. So, stay away from the Verbatim Life Series (NOT the DataLife Plus series, which is good.) you find in Office Depot, etc. The good AZO/DataLife Plus Verbatim media will only be found online. And, I also highly recommend the quality Verbatim stuff; not the CMC stuff, obviously.


As was also said, Ritek is an OK quality manufacturer. Stay away from their DVD+R DL, though. MKM is the only quality manufacturer of those.
