Krazyman Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hello. I purchased the Roxio Easy VHS to DVD, and I am having a slight problem burning my movie onto DVD. The burning process goes through, but at the end, I get "Failed to start the image writing operation Error while Burning Image 80004003 Error while Aborting" I have NO idea what to do here. Any help is appreciated. I spent a good amount of money on this, and I don't want it to go to waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdanteek Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I just checked Device Manager. It is that same model. Where could I go to update it? Here, I assume? I just found my drive in their discontinued section. Just download the update and run it? Yes in the discontinued section. If you look at the supported media there it list's your Ritek F1 disc as burning at 16X speed (RITEK RITEKF-1 16X) Ritek media is poor media and burn results vary! Read and understand what your doing when flashing the drive or you will ruin the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdanteek Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 It's either a problem with the Ritek disc or the burner. There is a test mode on the ImgBurn interface, check box. You could try a re-burn with the Ritek disc at 4X and see what the test burn does? If that doesn't work, I would borrow a different disc from a friend or family and try that first. Keep us posted.

If I choose a test burn with a clean disc, will it burn any actual data to the disc? Or will it be a simulation to see if it can burn or not? I don't want to waste another disc on a test. (Also, what does the Verify option do? Does it check to see if the disc is able to be burned?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Un-check verify, no the test does not burn anything to the blank DVD media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazyman Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Using these settings; It appears to be working fine. Should I try to burn it normally at 4x burn speed? (When burning normally, should I have "Verify" checked or un-checked?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a firmware update for a retail Optiarc AD 7190S to 1.02 might help. Flashing firmware if done wrong or something goes wrong like loss of power when doing it can ruin your drive. With better quality media the Optiarc Drive should burn DVD Disc's at 8X or 12X without problems unless your PC has problems feeding it at that data rate. The test function should answer that question by running it at those speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read and understand what your doing when flashing the drive or you will ruin the drive. Before I do this, I must ask; Could I just burn discs at 4x speed? I don't plan on making hour long cinematic movies, just converting my tapes to DVD. I don't need anything top-notch quality. I just want the darn thing to work. And for some reason, I feel like I might screw something up and disable my drive while updating it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdanteek Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Could I just burn discs at 4x speed? The answer is yes!

cdanteek Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I need to buy some better quality discs? That is what I have been trying to tell you, do you understated that? Or borrow a few disc's of a different maker from a friend or family and try that first. If they work I would blame the Ritek disc's as junk. Try that and post back with the results.

Krazyman Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Try it with only the "disc image" checked. I have never run it with both checked since I prefer to first create the iso file which can be played with the VLC player and will tell you if your project is set up correctly. Using these settings It finished. 100%. What do I do now? If I burn the .iso right to the disc, a DVD player wont be able to play it, right?
