burning failing

yoko22 · December 30, 2009

I have just purchased creator 2010.

I am running windows 7 and there are no issues with the computer

I have a batch of Philip DVD-R, some of which have been used on Nero 6 in XP and some of being currently used in a hard drive recorded, again no issues.

I have tried to burn 6 on Roxio, 4 failed during the burn due to errors, unspecified other then read/burn issues. Two burned and failed validation. One, the computer will read 5% of the files, the other the computer won't even see it as a valid disc. :angry:

Knowing the batch of DVD's appear ok on XP, and that the DVD writer is the same, and also that they work on the video DVD hard driver recorder, I don't feel the issue lies within the DVDs or the burner. I have checked for up dates and my installion of windows 7 and Roxio are both good.

Short of returning it to Amazon for a requested refund, and going back to Nero, anyone any suggestions as what i might try first. If you need any more information from me please state, many thanks

I am going to uninstall and re install now but cannot see that will make any difference

Many thanks in advance

OK have found out how to do a disc image and burned one, or rather tried to as it came up with hardwear error within seconds of starting. Another DVD down. LOL, or cry, not sure which yet. So I know you will all say it's the hardwear that is at fault.

However I took the external hard driver to my old computer with XP and it burned a disc under Nero perfectly. So when using Roxio the hardwear is falling, but the same hardwear works in nero. Cannot see how the hardwear is putrely to blame. However I want it to work under Roxio

Why are the two DVD disc drives failing under Roxio but work under Nero?

My view is the hardwear is ok but not ok with Roxio. I have checked the firmwear for the Pioneer 105 and it is fully up to date. Any suggestions please? Or should I just send it back requesting a refund and go to nero. (Which I don't want to do as i like the look and style of the Roixo application.

It's gotta be something simple hasn't it.

Download the free utility ImgBurn and burn the iso image file to a DVD. If that also fails then it is most likely the burner.

BTW, forget about the verify data (not validate) option, it is totally unreliable.

As an FYI - just after reading this I had an e-mail from Maplin who are doing 50 packs of Verbatim DVD-R and +R at £9.99 a pack, so a quick trip to your local branch may be in order.

50 pack of CD-R is £7.49 and a 25 pack of DVD+R dual layer is £19.99

all Verbatim discs

Hi ya

Oh we are on the same page finally. So I take it once i have got new discs my problems are solved.

The last one can be read in windows explorer, but when you try to open the picture it fails.

Ok will order some more tonight, the ones mentioned above and will stick with those from now on.

They will not be here now till mid next week and I will repost the rsults then. There isn't much more to be done to them.

Thank you for all your help so far. Hopely it will be plain sailing when the good stuff arrives, till then

THANK YOU! and barely five hours away now

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

You need to get different media! What your using, the Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: MBI 01RG40) is garbage and belongs in the

landfill.

Are we on the same page now?

I really thought i had got it then.

Ok the photo one burned ok and then when placed in the machine it read the first 10 files, (took five minutes!) and then read no more. I put it in the other computer and it simply said 'not compatiable with windows'

Do you still wish me to burn another image file?

What gets me is the music dvd worked and played with out problem, so it's beyond my little mind as to why a photo folder cannot be read and a music folder can, bearing in mind both were through data burn in Roxio on the same DVD recorder.

Again many thanks to everyone who is helping on this, and I am sorry for the trouble Roxio/DVD 105/windows 7, (or maybe but hopefully not, I am causing) is causing.

Don't buy the Phillips media again!

I use CD/DVD media from Taiyo Yuden and Branded Verbatim. There are a lot of fake Taiyo Yuden sold in some parts of the World. Where are you from? TDK aren't making disc's either so they are outsourced to someone else, I hope not MBI.

Most good 16X Disc's burn better at 8X or 12X on a decent system...

The rebook and imapi are Microsoft Operating System Filters, did you turn them off in services?

Philips and others (including Packard Bell, HP, et al) don't make discs - they contract the work out and always take the cheapest bids, then have the discs printed with their logo.

Best brands - Taiyo Yuden (they're changing the name on those to, I think, JVC) and Verbatim are best - more expensive, but you get what you pay for

Hi ya

I have removed all cables going to the DVD writer and uninstalled it through device manager. I then re installed it. I have removed Roxio and re installed that as well.

The media is supposed to be Branded Philips DVD-R 1x16 speed and was brought in England form a large on-line DVD/CD store. I always try to burn at the slowest speeds regardless of what the media is supposed to do. However with nero I had some errors a year ago when burning at x1 and found x4 better without errors.

There are some TDK discs on order which may arrive Saturday or Monday. Which discs do you recommend, both CD and DVD?

The good news is the plexdor CD writer has just written a CD using Roxio which I am listening to now, so something works somewhere.

Ok have done as requested and the differences are

===============================================

Filter Driver Load Order - ImgBurn v2.5.0.0

===============================================

Upper Device Filter: [None Found] DIFFERENT

Upper Class Filter: [None Found]

Device: CD/DVD-ROM Device

Lower Class Filter: PxHelp20

Lower Device Filter: [None Found] DIFFERENT

Filter Name: PxHelp20

File Name: C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\PxHelp20.sys

File Description: Px Engine Device Driver for Windows 2000/XP

Product Name: PxHelp20

Product Version: [2.0.0.0]

I have just successfully burned a music DVD using the writer through ImgBurn. And it plays too. So here goes with the same tracks using Roxio.

Wow, that has worked too. OK, let me do another DVD with the original job of adding the canon picture files. Fingers crossed.

It’s working away now I shall re post in an hour when it has finished.

The MBI, stands for Moser Baer India, (Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: MBI 01RG40) (Speeds: 1x, 2x, 4x)

Where did you get this media? Did you buy this in the US? How did they come packaged?

What is the rated X speed and are they Branded Verbatim? Anything you can tell me about them would be appreciated!

Are you trying to burn the same ISO Image file through all these failed burns? If so try another image file..

Most important borrow a couple of different disc's from a friend and try them in ImgBurn, please..

I know you say these disc's burn in Nero with the same burner, why I don't know. I've read this 'MID' from Moser Baer is

junk DVD Media..

Download this ( in my signature # 7, Drive Not Recognized By Roxio, PX Engine 3_00_58a. Full Installer) to a new folder you

make on your desktop. Unzip/Unrar it in that folder, double click the .exe, let it run and reboot the PC..

Open ImgBurn up top click tools, then click 'Filter Driver Load Order' does yours match the pic I posted ? If not explain the difference?
