Verify errors burning with liteon 52x burner and nero 5.5 & nero 6
TDK stopped making disks a while back. They outsource them. I bought a
couple of packs before I knew this. One set was Ritek, forget the other. They have worked for me but some had LOTS of errors and I stopped relying on them. Basically, try another brand. |

"George R." wrote in message ... hmmmm...that's certainly interesting.... I guess the brand is 'CMC magnetics' then, that's what Nero tells me.... Ok...anyone a recommendation for good CD-Rs ? Memorex ? Maxell ? greetings Try to find some Fuji, making *sure* the label says "Made in Japan". Those will be made by TY. Excellent CDR's. |

"George R." wrote in message ... Hi, before i start here my config: WinXP Sp1, 384 MB Ram, Soyo Dragon+ board, AMD 1900+. I run Prime95 and memtest86 without any problems. My system is stable and kept well and up-to-date. I have one HD on IDE2 (Promise port), the CDRom on (Via) IDE0 and the Burner (Lite-On 52246S, latest firmware 6s0f) on (Via) IDE1. Every drive is on it's own IDE port and jumpered as master. All UDMA is on. I use 80 pin UDMA cables for all my drives. I even double checked and swapped my CDRom with the Burner today to see what happens. I can not burn ONE single error-free CD with this burner, using good TDK brand 48x CD-RWs. I even got down to burning at 4x speed to avoid errors, but still a no-go. Not even at 4x ! I first used Nero 5.5.10.42....now i got Nero 6 - still the same results. If i burn a typical, say ~500MB CD with lots of files i always get two or three files where Nero says "Verify error", the burned files don't match the ones on HD. When i burn a large ~500MB zip archive etc. then also most of the time i get CRC errors. Thanks for any help !!! Georg. Had almost the same problem here. Nero 6 always burned one or two files badly. The burn process completed succesfully (according to Nero 6) but the verification process picked up on the bad files. The files were really burned bad (checked with other verification apps). This behaviour was consistent even though I tried 4 different media and just about all burn speeds available. The twist in my case was that Nero 5.5 burned the same files to the same disks with NO problem! That is, Nero 5.5 worked great, Nero 6 failed every time on the same data and media... Hav not yet found a real solution, but found that turning off DMA on the cd-writer enables me to burn with Nero 6. I'm not sure about the effective loss in speed when going from DMA to PIO mode, but it sure compensates going from "no-burn" to ok burning. Any ideas to why Nero 6 doesn't like DMA while NEro 5.5 does is greatly appreciated! Ed |

Did it ever occur to you that a 52x CD-RW that sells for
(according to price-grabber) just around $USD40 might not be quite up to the task? After having reliability (i.e., dead laser) problems even with Plextors, I tried some TDKs. They're not cheap, but they seem to work and work and work. Greg |

Nero 6 failed every time on the same data and media...
on the SAME data, ie. the same file was always corrupted ??? Hav not yet found a real solution, but found that turning off DMA on the cd-writer enables me to burn with Nero 6. Well..ok that's always worth a try - but still, it's weird. I mean, if 16x works fine (more testing needed here) i can live with that. Btw. i dont have a very high opinion about Nero 6...like some otehr guy said...all the additional stuff is not really needed. (or: there are better program around than the one coming with Nero, eg. cooledit etc...).....i think the 'smart-start' thing just looks awful...and the user interface of nero itself looks worse (imho) than before... But i guess they did only some insignificant changes in the interface to sell it as a 'new version' I am just waiting for the next version coming out, like "The Nero 7 OS" or similiar (1 MB of actual CD burning, and 250 additional MB with stuff totally unrelated...) greetings |

Btw. you contradict yourself there....you say a 52x drive at $40 might not be up to the task - and then you say you had reliability problems even with Plextors ? Nope. My Plextors did a great job...until they died (re-lye-uh-BILL-i-tee). My TDK burners do a great job and keep running. Greg |

Nero's website has updated files to match certain CR writers, when I
installed my LiteOn, I had problems. I read the Nero book, went to their website, downloaded the file, and voila! Super fast, inexpensive and haven't burned a coaster yet!

I hope this gets posted. my ISP's news server is very problematic. It also may get posted several times. I apologize if that happens, it isn't intended to happen that way. |

All is well since I changed to news.CIS.DFN.DE which is a reliable free news server. |
