Problem burning to DVD-R

I've been using a Liteon dvd-rom and LG GSA 4160B for a while and no problem. Now my LG wont burn to DVD-R. It will burn DVD-RW and DVD RAM (haven't tried DVD+R yet). Blank DVD-R disc properties come up as file system RAW but no available space. The drives will read DVD-R.
When I attempt to burn a DVD-R the writer hangs and I have to turn off pc.
Have uninstalled all burning software and re-installed individual programs to minimise compatability problems. Have tried Nero AnyDVD and CloneDVD2,
Have uninstalled the drives and let XP re-install and still the same.
So now I have purchased an ASUS DRW-1612BL, updated firmware.
The problem remains.
I'll also mention I have installed InCd on this machine and then removed it, whether this may be a culprit I am unsure.
Can someone give me some help on this?
I am currently using TDK DVD-R 1-8x
Thought I might have a bad batch of DVD's (but half of them have worked and now they just wont)
Bought some new TDK DVD-r 16x, but the problem is still there.

Be certain the Asus is connected correctly and then try a different cable to the Asus.

I have had the same result - with DVD -R Media Using CloneDVD2

Using the 1Click5 // PRO Burn engine
- I must have it Set to "Try SAO First"
- or I have the same result

It has something to do - with the Burner
- It usually more effects LG ( based ) Drives

My solution is Simply to Use DVD +Rs only
- when using CloneDVD2 to burn
( I prefer +Rs anyway )

In the time I've spent on the LGSI forum
- We've seen this quite a lot
The "Try SAO First" setting usually resolves the 'freeze-up' Issue
- when burning -Rs with 1Click5 // PRO

We are not sure - exactly what causes this ;
It definitely depends on the Burner .
The Set-Up ?
If it also depends on an influence - from other software ?
- like if the Sonic Burn Engine - is also installed ?
- We're just not sure
There is definitely some conflict - somewhere

I don't really have a solution for you
I never resolved the Issue for Myself
I just wanted to share my experience
- before you go ripping your Computer apart

I Just use +Rs when Burning with CloneDVD2/ CloneCD

For your -Rs
You could try Burning the Back-Up Folder with IMGBurn/Nero
- See if you have the same result
( with IMGBurn/Nero - You may be able to Select SAO over DAO ( ? )


Are you able to Book-Type your DVD+Rs to DVD-ROM ?

Clonedvd2 works fine with a 4163b here (except for the known jitter issues at 16x, but that has nothing to do with Clonedvd2).

What LG models are you aware of that are affected?

Have attached new cable for the ASUS. Everything works fine, just doesn't like to burn DVD-r.
Luckily I bought a new stack of DVD-r's in case it was a just a dud batch the first time, you can never have too many drink coasters!!!
 
The problem remains.

Do steps 3 and 4 from here please. Please note that step 4 actually requires you to post information.

Bought some new TDK DVD-r 16x, but the problem is still there.

There are some pretty terrible TDKs being sold in general stores like Costco (not officially "b grade", but essentially the same thing). Try Maxell Plus, Maxell Broadcast Quality, Verbatim, or Taiyo Yuden (premium)

My [F] HP DVD Writer 640b E223 (Ide)(LG)
will Completely Lock-Up
You have to Close CloneDVD2 - through the Task Manager
- to even get the Tray to open
The Discs I've burned - with this result - were Burned and Finalized
- and They played Fine :confused:

I can't remember if I even tried with my
[E] MAD DOG MD-16X3DVD9-8X 1.F3 (Ide)
It's been awhile since I've even burned a -R


Now with the VSO engine
- Almost All LGs- Freeze without the "Try SAO First" Option
- ( except the newest H42 - I think )
.... but - it occasionally effects other Brand Burners - as well

I wish I had a clue - as to why
;)

Have you tried disabling the .wav? visit http://forum.slysoft.com/showpost.php?p=21632&postcount=5

You've probably already done this, but do you mind if I take a look at your filters, please? (step 4 from http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=1559 )

I wish I still had a -R to test .... All I have are some old -RWs lying around
... and Tons of +R TYs
.wav works fine on +Rs ... I'm no where near maxed on resources
... but would try - If I had a -R

I have - a few times - Removed All Filters - and Reinstall as Needed
- Still same result

shannon90210,

Oddly, I have been seeing problems with those who happen to have Pxhelp20, but I fail to see how that could cause any issues. Redbook and imapi are required, obviously.

Given that in your case the burn seems to be locking up at the end with Clonedvd, I would take a look at disabling the .wav that plays at the end of the burn (that has caused lockups on some systems), but that doesn't necessarily explain why Clonedvd2 won't lockup when using +Rs on your system. Regardless, the sound playing is not the OP's issue.

You've tried standard controllers, right?

Not sure what - you're referring to
- It's all HP Stock Drivers - and Updated


I didn't mean to hi-jack the thread :eek:
I wish I had a DVD -R to test
I might pick up a few - next time I'm out
Now I'm Curious again

.... but for me .... I really never pursued the Issue
- as I really prefer Book-Typed +Rs better - anyway

;)

PxHelp20​

AFS2K - CD-Rom Driver by OAK Software and HP Memories Disc.

I have set the jumper to master and disconnected other dvd burner

You don't need to disconnect your other burner.

O.k, your filters look fine to me (or at least, I know of no known issues with them).

Are you using an 80 pin cable? Ensure it's attached appropriately (not connected as slave).

should I check anything in CMOS?

when I review the driver for dvd player it says it is the latest version for windows
version 5.1.2535 from 2001
Does this sound correct? shouldn't it refer to a newer one
