Ok i currently have a pioneer DVDR-108 burner and im no n00b to dvd burning
ive burnt an easy 300-400 DVD5’s in it not a problem all work fine all work after many yr still
recently i have been gettin into DL burnin for some things i have currently burnt about 6 of these discs with DVD Decrypter no problems
Im currently trying to burn this 8 GIG ISO like i usually would but im getting errors and it wont continue
i bought a 3x1 pack of Verbatim 8.5 gig DL disks
the first DL disc i burnt from the pack gave me 1 read error and continued onto the 2nd layer and finilized and it works fine
ive tried to burn the other ISO and it gets to 50% at a 4x burn and when it goes to do the 2nd layer it spools down like its suppost to do and then when it tried to do the 2nd layer i just get read error after read error
with this log message in DVD Decrypter
W 21:17:24 Failed to Write Sectors 1973664 - 1973695 - Power Calibration Area Error
the other 2 discs in the 3 disc pack both returned this error and failed
i then tried a normal DVD5 burn in nero to see if it was the burner that was dying
it burnt this dvd5 and it plays back fine
im worried if its a combination of things
a) the media maybe a bad batch since even the initial first dvd didnt work and had to be retried then worked
b) is my burner slowly dying ?
c) should i try another disc and or do a new ISO image of the files
any help would be greatly appreciated
