This is usually due to burning media too fast, there are very few CDR's that will burn reliably at 48x-52x. If it's doing this at 40x on TY or RiTEC TG media, it's probably the drive. Have you tried different firmware on the drive? "Brian" wrote in...

Go back and double check your jumper setting and position on the IDE cable. (should be on the end of the cable) Then go into BIOS and make sure the drive is seen as UDMA and detection set to "auto". Lastly, go device manager and uninstall the IDE controller and reboot.Then go out and get some...

It's essentially an 8x burner, anything faster results in very low burn quality. Over-all, not a good choice in burners. The Pioneer is light years ahead of LiteOn in quality. For my money, it would be an NEC 3520 in a generic firewire case, which would be about the same cost. USB2 is not very...

You need to provide more information. What media, exactly, is this? What's the MID code? Use http://dvd.identifier.cdfreaks.com/ to find out what it is. Are the higher speeds not available in Nero, or are you selecting 8x and it's just burning at 2x? "Not me" wrote in...

Your biggest problems will be software. Win98 is dead. Install 512 MB of RAM and update to Win2000. 2nd problem will be the speed of your HD and IDE controller. Most likely you will not exceed 8x burning, maybe even 4x. A PCI HD controller card would help a lot, with a good 7200RPM drive. The...

Available burn speeds are set by the drive/firmware, not by software. Read speeds can be set by software, within certain limitations. Any competent burning program will give you a selection of burn speeds, Nero is one. "Nightbreaker" wrote in...

Yes, most do. "Jack Hammond" wrote in message ... Are there and DVD Writers that fully support multisession, with say DVD+ RW/DVD+R Writing..?

Maxell DVD-R can be made by different makers, the ones made by Maxell in Japan are top quality media. Other makers will not be so good. So you need to specify who made them, and/or stick with ones marked "Made In Japan". There are also 2x and 4x versions that are completely different media. LiteOn...

The next developments will be mostly in Serial-ATA burners and increased RW speeds. A larger buffer is pretty useless, 2MB is plenty with current under-run protections. The LiteOn 52246S produces equal or higher quality burns than the Plextor, and does it on a wider range of media and at...

Try the drive in another computer if you can. Sounds like an issue of some sort, but it might not be the drive. You could also update Nero. Also try the drive in DAO mode, no multisession. "Bob M" wrote in message ... Yesterday I...

They have used at least a couple different media types for these, and they are not "high quality" by today's standards. I don't really see how you can put CMC and TY in the same sentence, but the Verbatims are nowhere near TY quality. Probably somewhere in between CMC and TY. They are good for...

If he is doing certain kind of burns, and has his preferences set wrong, Nero will deliberately leave image files behind, they would have an extension of ".nrg". Otherwise, just look for the usual ".tmp" or "temp" extension. It is certainly not normal for Nero to leave ".tmp" files behind. He...

Verification is an extremely unreliable way to check a disc. Depending on the program used, there are many reasons it may fail that have nothing to do with the integrity of the disc. One easy and fast way to check a disc is with Nero CDSpeed's transfer rate test. Any disc that will produce a...
