Problems with dvd burning. cd burning works fine though

[robtabbers]

Hello,

I hope someone can help me.

i receive een error when i try to burn a DVD (lite on) on my acer laptop. i tried with Nero and with Ashampoo 9. I run vista. With both programmes burning cd’s works fine. but when i try do burn a dvd (i use Platinum dvd+r which work fin on mij pc with also a liteon dvd writer) on my laptop (vob of iso) I receive an error. Ashampoo gives the announcemennt that the DVD is ok to burn, but when i start burning it stops and mij dvd opens.

Could it be a hardware problem.

i tried to update the driver and firmware but i am on the latest versions.

Hope to hear from you

Hi Rob, welcome to the forum

Can you tell us the model number of your LiteOn laptop drive?

Also, what are the rated speed of those Platinum DVD+Rs? Platinum can be made by quite a few manufacturers (then just branded with the Platinum name), so it’s possible your Platinum discs have a mediacode that isn’t supported in the lappy drive’s firmware.

I’d try something a little more likely to be supported, like Sony or Verbatim (just a small pack). At least if those burn successfully, it would rule out any hardware problem

Hopefully someone can see what the issue is from this log.

Thanks for the log.

That’s quite an old burner - you see the media code in the log (RITEK F16)? That is the media code that your Platinum discs have, as they were made by RiTEK.

I would definitely try Verbatim or Sony as I suggested earlier, as they have more chance of being supported by a burner of that age.

Also, I see “Write Protected” errors in the log - is that disc definitely empty?

[robtabbers]

Hi thank you for the respond on the log.

I wil go and try this weekend to burn on sony dvd+r

I am shure that the platinum dvd was empty i tried it with 3 diferent dvd’s from my spindle

Thanks so far

Greetings Rob

Oooh one other thing

the laptop i sno 1,5 year old and a half year ago the shop where a bought it replaced the dvd writer because the oter one was broke. As i understand correctly the shop replaced the dvd writer with an old one? that i will not accept afcourse and i will go back to the store. Can you tell me how old it is?

Greetings Rob

Good luck - hopefully this will be successful. If not, Verbatim discs are always worth a try!

Edit: when I said “old” - I mean, it’s an older model drive, there are newer models around now. I didn’t mean old as in, used or anything.

Hello everybody,

I tried other dvd’s (Verbatim) and it works fine now) thanks for all your help
