Burning hangs randomly

[fagopher]

 

At this point am I am very frustrated for all the problems I have been facing ever since I got this software!!

 

I am now burning an ISO image to a DVD. Its size is aprox 3.5 Gb.

 

I tried 2 times and it got stock at some random sector of the DVD... The first time I though.. welll maybe something wrong with the DVD, next time I was considering something wrong with my unit. So for testing, I used a different software (CD Burner XP). It burned it quickly with no issues at all.

 

Can anybody explain me why a free software is able to burn the image while this Roxio software is having problems?

 

My unit is Matshita DVD +-RW UJ862A

The DVD is Sony DVD-R 4.7 Gb

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi Fagopher, can you add a bit more info on the unit you are using, not just the DVD drive model?

Take a look at our signatures, they have our details so it makes it easier to try to get a resolve, and as Dave has said check

out the updates and help info

Your test, with the native XP burning software, was useless. It told you that you could burn a CD, NOT a DVD, which uses a different laser. Your old DVD burner may have gone belly up on the DVD burning end.

 

You can try the PX 3 engine, as Dave suggested, but I don't think that that is your problem, but who knows?

If your Dell came with Easy Creator 2010 SE, then support comes from Dell. Still, I see no reason off hand why you are having issues. Do you have the installation CD?

Not what he said… The "CDBurnerXP" is a freebee burning program that seems to have a lot of features – Here

 

But fagopher has also been running another thread that indicates he had a botched install. He had no content, but it raises the question of what else did not go right???

 

I think it is time for a Clean Install (XP) preceded by the Prep Steps: KB Page

Some other things to try.

 

1. PxEngine 3 apply this update and reboot. It's a long shot.

2. Try burning at a slower speed.

3. Review the Dell web site and update your drivers and bios if needed.

Creator 2010 SE is Special Edition; not DE whihc is the OEM Dell edition. SE is Creator 2010 with the USB capture device sold by places like Cosco.
