savramesh 37 Report post Posted July 10, 2009 I am using LG DVD writer for the last three years without any issues. Yesterday first time i bought a DVD-RW [sony 1x-2x compatible]. I was burning a file @ 2x speed. it took more than 10 mins and alerted "Burning process failed".. when i browse that DVD it was empty but properties showed no free space. i tried to erase it failed.. then i restarted PC and tried to erase using Nero, it was successful. But i got the same error when i try to burn again.. other issues with this empty DVD-RW is when i put it in drive, it will take 10-15 mins to read .. sometimes erase fails, sometimes erases., but never success in burning.. i am able to burn dvd's, cd's etc.. only problem with this RW.. is it because of 1x-2x compatibility ??

savramesh 37 Report post Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) ^^^ but while burning in nero, it selects 2x as default sped and it is disabled, i cant change it.. BTW 1x and 2x are the only speed for burning RW disks?? Edited July 10, 2009 by savramesh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
savramesh 37 Report post Posted July 10, 2009 The actual problem is "Could not perform start of Disc-at-Once" but Disc-at-once option is disabled while burning, please check screen shots.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
santhoshavanoor 7 Report post Posted July 11, 2009 I haven't used DVD-RW with my LG drive until now, but I'll try today and inform you later. But did you tried with other DVD-RW with your LG drive? Or you can flash your LG drive with your new driver and may be everything will be ok. But take care when you doing the flashing of DVD drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

santhoshavanoor 7 Report post Posted July 11, 2009 ^^^but while burning in nero, it selects 2x as default sped and it is disabled, i cant change it.. BTW 1x and 2x are the only speed for burning RW disks?? Burning Speed is depending upon the DVD-RW type. I just experimented to write files to DVD-RW, and the task completed successfully. See the attachment. I have used TDK DVD-RW, 4x, single sided disk and Burning software is Nero Express 7 which is coming along with the DVD drives. And you can see the burnig took approximately 10 minutes for 3GB data. I erased the Disc and it took approximately 15 minutes for a Full Erase section. I haven't tried with other DVD-RW's, may be your DVD-RW have some manufacturing errors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
