How do you know if your burner is dying?
| Movie copy software Discuss, How do you know if your burner is dying? at Software forum; I'm just wondering what the signs are for a dying burner (also, what are the reasons it's dying in terms of technology)? Does the burner all of a sudden just crap out and stop working, or is a slow gradual process where the discs are being burned with more errors? |

It could be what you are decribing. It may gradually fail or just stop working.Quote:Originally Posted by doveplayI'm just wondering what the signs are for a dying burner (also, what are the reasons it's dying in terms of technology)?

At the cost of new burners these days from £20 in the uk and probably $30 in the states it might be worth while getting another to confirm this.
It could also be a problem with your media as you don't say what brand/media id you are using.__________________

The burners that I have had that died either gradually failed or quite suddenly.I suspect suspect that when suddenly it is the spinner in the unit. __________________

Sorry, forgot that's a good point. As most of the people on here, I only use Verbatim, and for the most part I'm only burning DVD+R DL's. The reason I'm asking is that in certain parts of recent movies, I'm noticing a little lite pixellation. Nothing major of course, just a touch. Is this the sign of a dying burner?Quote:Originally Posted by bubbles19It could be what you are decribing. It may gradually fail or just stop working.
