WRITEDVD 14 W2 error

[JRPolasky]

"14 W2"

not 11, 12, 13..... ALWAYS 14

I have searched the forums, I have tried multiple things suggested... I am very frustrated atm, so please dont take this off poorly...

I have read the FAQ, still confused..

I have backed up over 500 of my movies with Clone DVD, I ONLY back up my movies in DVD-R format.

As of recently... mostly today....

I tried to back up 7 movies.... only 1 backed up.... ALL the other movies gave the same error code 14 W2 "source is too large for media"

I tried different Media types, TDK, Memorex, Verbatim

Hills Have Eyes 2 tried TDK DVD-5 mode 70% quality, got error.

Premonition TDK DVD-5 mode at 100% quality ... worked fine!

Star Trek Insurrection TDK, Memorex, Verbatim DVD-5 Mode at 100%... got error ALL 3 TIMES.

Rain Man TDK DVD-5 Mode at 88%... got error

basically... ALL gave me the error except Premonition

ALL were done as minimal as possible ( just the movie, no features )

I looked into updating my DVD Recorder Firmware:

I have Summary for drive D: (AnyDVD 6.1.6.5)
OPTIARC DVD RW AD-7170A 1.02 JUL14,2006

There IS a supposed 1.03 Firmware for my drive, I have googled it, BUT since my drive is probibly OEM since it came with the PC, the Firmware update would not flash, and kept failing when I tried to update it.

That still doesnt explain WHY the one movie worked, and none of the others did... like I stated before I have been backing up my movies for over a year now and hardly ever have a problem ( even with crappy media, I normally use Fuji, Sony, TDk, or Verbatim ) unless its a bad disc every now and then... but this error is puzzleing me and I am starting to get really annoyed.

someone please help

-tried updating firmware.... cant
-tried the supposed "good Media" Verbatim... still having problems
-made sure all versions are up to date... check
-I even made sure my vista processor was making my hard drive use was using the DMA... yes using Ultra DMA Mode4

please help

Thnx much!

1. You didn't do step "f" from the previous post.

2. Also, stop using Memorex.

3. If you're hanging right at 100%, read http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=4028

F. Try setting a custom size of 4300 in Clonedvd (but if you're using good media, you shouldn't have to) if you're using regular single layer dvd-5 (4.7GB) discs.


is that the one?

I have never had to before with the 500 movies, so why will I have to now?

I will try it, but I dont know why or what has changed from before.

No, but that would be a good idea with your Memorex and TDK media. Also slowing the burn speed to about half the rated speed of the media would be a good idea.

step f Do steps 3 and 4 from here (note that step 4 requires you to post information, and this step could be the most helpful in getting your situation resolved)

Mostly, I mean to do step 4 from there.

If you've done 500 burns, there's a possibility your burner is slowly dying as well.
