Dvd Burning Errors.

[Mags-Z]

I have Roxio 2009 and Roxio 2010 and now Roxio 2012. I keep getting errors when trying to burn DVD's The last error I got was this: :["Write Error - Medium Error. "[03/0C/00]) Before that I was getting some other error like 130000 But I forget what it was. It burns DVD's ok till it gets to about 50 to 90 percent and then crashes. If you need the other numbers from the other crash I can try and burn another DVD and see what comes up. But it is 100% failure. Running Windows 7 x64. Intel 130 watt i7 920 and 12 GB DDR3 1600. Don't feel I am not up to power levels with hardware to handle the problem. Video card is a Radeon 6970 2GB DDR5 and a Creative Labs Titanium PCI-E Sound Card. It's running on a Gigabyte Mobo. Never had burning issues till just lately and only had Roxio 2009 and 2010 but since having issues I got 2012 and still have the same errors.

 

 

 

 

When I get the other error I will post it as well.

[cdanteek]

That is a GOOD price ~ 0.40¢ each!!!

 

I just bought these (printable) for a whooping $1.20 each

 

 

 

And I just bought a small pack of 'junk' ones yesterday for 0.40¢

 

You may still get a coaster or 2 with Verbatim (not too likely ) but I can tell you I have had 'junk' one go bad just sitting on my shelf and some I burned 7-8 years ago on 'junk' (Lead Data, Inc.???) media, won't play today (been luck and have been able to copy them )

 

 

At 40 something a 100 pack

 

It's obvious Mags-Z didn't buy Verbatim DVD +R DL Disc's, 40 something a 100 pack!

 

Verbatim DVD +R DL Disc's have never been marketed as 100 pack in the US.

[Mags-Z]

To most folks RIP is the digital extraction from a CD or DVD to the hard drive.

 

BURN is burning to a CD or DVD disc.

 

You don't answer questions aimed at helping you.

 

Do you have a DVD Video on a DVD Disc playable in a settop DVD player when the Panasonic software is finished?

 

If so use it to make a image file and burn as many copies as you like!

 

Have you checked Best Buy for Verbatim media? Look for made in Singapore on the label.

 

 

Not real sure of the terms used sorry for that. and I ordered online Verbatim blanks. At 40 something a 100 pack they better be good. I make one coaster with those and it's back to the Cheapy ones.

 

Not sure what you meant by not answering questions aimed at helping you means? I try my best to answer questions. Anything I can get to help me fix this problem I want to do, say or tell about.

 

As for trying to burn a DVD from the Panasonic software. i will try that as soon as I put that back on after the reformat. Sorry been a bit slow at putting things on. But my wife is good at making Hunny -Do list and well my chores are not finished and I can't come out to play at times LOL! Where I live you have to start to get prepared for the winter ahead. Can't be that grasshopper counting on the ant to get him through the winter or I will be in bad shape. So been a bit slow at getting my stuff back on. Kind of why I dreaded reformatting. It's never easy and the programs take time. Updates take time and tweaking takes forever

 

I have a LG Blu-Ray Burner as i said and just to say it's not the drives on my system I will burn a DVD with it and see if it crashes. I have never had any problems before with burning off of it. But I normally since it is not cheap burn the DVD's off the Plextor's and save the Blu-Ray for just doing Blu-rays.

 

As for the MADE IN SINGAPORE on the DVD's I ordered. Not sure where these were made from or at. As I can't find any of them around my house. Next time I am at Worst Buy (sorry Best Buy) I will look there. I have Memorex Blu-Ray blanks as well. Are those I am guessing garbage as well? New Egg has Verbatim Blu-Rays but they have two different types. One seems to be way more in price. 25 Blu-Rays for like 28 Bucks but they are LHV or something like that. and the more expensive ones don't say anything but are 45 bucks for 20 of them. Quite a difference.

[Mags-Z]

It is.

 

Running Windows 7-64 the HD MUST to be formatted in NTFS.

 

 

OK Yeah I guess i knew that without really knowing that for sure. I thought I read that some place. Well from what I read NTFS is more stable than FAT systems. It came from Windows NT when it was a server OS only.

[grandpabruce]

It is.

 

Running Windows 7-64 the HD MUST to be formatted in NTFS.

 

I figured that that must be the case. I always format mine NTFS, so I never even thought about it, when I installed Win 7.

 

Thanks, Brendon.

[Brendon]

You're welcome.

[Mags-Z]

Just to give an update to this. I formatted a few times but it just would not work for me. So I replaced the HDD and the motherboard. Well I replaced the Mother Board because i was building a new i7 Sandy Bridge - E. When doing so I went with a Asus Rampage 4 Extreme mother board and I thought ok lets see if with a Brand new HDD and a new mother board if I can get anything in the way of Burning. I took one of my old Family movies and gave it a shot. Wham no problem. Even using MEMOREX Blanks. I thought ok maybe this was a fluke. So I tried yet another movie and it worked ok. (Knock on wood) Seems to have fixed my problem even though I was doing this anyways and it was not because I was not able to burn DVD's.

 

Now I am not sure if it was a HDD problem or the SATA lines or just what was the problem. It was rather frustrating and I still have no idea what the problem was. But just glad it seems to behaving itself. I got my Nephews Wedding movie out in time for Xmas and he was happy to get it LOL! I thought I was never going to be able to make that. I was not able to get together his Blu Ray version yet. I was out of Blank Blu-Rays that is the only reason. I have some coming. But I promised him I would (knock on Wood again) get those to him as soon as the blanks come in. Just wanted to thank everyone for the help and give you guys an update. Happy New Years to all.

[Mags-Z]

I forgot to add I am able to use Roxio 2009. I prefer it if burning DVD's If you put 2009 on and then install 2010 It lets 2009 work. Not sure as to the reason for this. But I know this works cause I have done this many times and just used 2009 to make those Wedding Movies. And that is on Windows 7 x 64 bit.

[sknis]

Phew, thank goodness and good luck (especially with Creator 2009 and W7).

 

Happy New Year.

[Jim_Hardin]

The Creator 2009 will fail eventually when running in Win7... All of us tried it and got the same results over time

 

Frankly I cannot see any possible justification for running that many versions

 

I can see Current Version and perhaps Last, but just keeping multiple old versions hanging on creates problems that cannot be resolved because they cannot pin down the source

 

Glad you got it running though!

[Mags-Z]

It may be a dumb question, but is your hard drive formatted NTFS? Just grasping at straws.

 

Yes sir it is formatted NTFS. Not sure if it's even an option any more to make it a FAT system in Windows 7? Last time I used FAT was in Windows 98 and it was FAT32.

[sknis]

I know the area and almost everythign is 20 miles away. Try Sears or a Stationary store.

RIP = Burn I believe that is what i was trying to say. Not sure where I used it but that is what I normally mean. The Panasonic HD Camcorder Puts the files on your computer. Although it says it will burn a DVD faster if you plug in the Camcorder and burn the movie i have never found that to happen. To me I think it slows down the burning process.

 

To most folks RIP is the digital extraction from a CD or DVD to the hard drive.

 

BURN is burning to a CD or DVD disc.

As far as Lite On and LG they both have very poor Read speeds. The Plextor's No matter who is making them have the longest life and the fastest reads. If I put one of my Home Movies in and it is not a Double Dense Disk and is 1:1 the Plextors will read upwards to 20 meg /sec. Nothing else I have ever seen has come close to that. Ugly and poor speed. Not a good combo.

 

Pioneers just are terrible. I had one I bought from Best Buy and took it back once every 20 days till I wiped them out of them. Poor quality drives. Teac I liked as a 3.5 floppy drives. Never owned a DVD of theirs.

 

I looked far and wide for Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden or JVC. I did see that Radio Shack had TDK's. Not sure what anyone thought of those. Most places had what is cheap. Most people do not care about quality but more so how cheap are they.

[cdanteek]

rip

 

Define what you refer to as rip?

 

I should add that the Panasonic software will do another movie but it takes like 2 hours making them.

 

Do you have a DVD Video on a DVD Disc when the Panasonic software is finished?

 

If so use it to make a image file and burn as many copies as you like!

 

 

As for the Plextor's. No one ever told me what company was making the Plextor's. I stuck with the Plextor's cause I figured the price is pretty much the same and the other drives are ugly LOL! Lite On makes the most plain ugly drives I have ever seen. Who ever designs their drives should be fired LOL!

 

Teac, LITEON, and LG have all made newer Plextor's.

 

I would rather have a ugly drive that was a good reader and good burner than a pretty drive that was a lousy reader and a lousy burner!

[Mags-Z]

Works for me..

 

 

 

God I long to see this again without seeing ERROR! I get to like 95 percent and then it fails I am not using Dual layered disc. But I have to go out now and will look for the other brands of disc mentioned here and get a pack of them.

[Mags-Z]

I should add that the Panasonic software will do another movie but it takes like 2 hours making them. That is why I prefer making the movies from Roxio. The Panasonic software has to compile and process all the video and all that takes massive time. So really I guess that is lying that I can not make multiple copies of the movies from their software but time wise it's brutal.

[Mags-Z]

Sorry for putting that Nero name up LOL! But I am a bit frustrated here and as i said I will be at family gatherings and hiding behind a newspaper cause I got no video to give my nephew. Now to be honest I have not even tried to convert it from the Panasonic files and the AVCHD stuff yet.

 

With this camcorder it puts four types of files on the computer. Every time I start and stop the camcorder 4 files are made. One of those files is called CONT I assume all this file is for is to tell whatever go to the next file and play it. The main video file is AVCHD file which had the HD movie on it. Next file is some little weird files that are not big and I guess one of them is most likely audio. PMPD file which I have no idea what that is LOL! and a TMB file which I have no idea what it is but it is usually around 50 to 70 Kbytes big so I assume this is a audio file? I guess I could look those up but probably don't matter for the problem.

 

But as I said to be honest I have not used the Panasonic software yet to rip a DVD. Really I should do that. I have been spending my whole time trying to DVD copy my old family movies and have yet to see if I can make one from the files i have dumped on my HDD. I guess I have been concentrating all my time into making the old movies I never tried to make one new one. Won't be able to rip multiple copies of it till I fix this problem but I can maybe get one out. But I still need to fix this problem because I know in the future I will want to make new copies of the family video's and will have no way to get them off my Computer.

 

As for the Plextor's. You are correct. No one ever told me what company was making the Plextor's. I wrote to Plextor and said how upset I was at their being cheap and farming out their product. i was told Pioneer was making them for them. And I get my drives online at about 30 dollars a DVD drive. LG, Lite On, Pioneer, and all of the others are pretty much this same price so I stuck with the Plextor's cause I figured the price is pretty much the same and the other drives are ugly LOL! Lite On makes the most plain ugly drives I have ever seen. Who ever designs their drives should be fired LOL!

[cdanteek]

I know for sure that Video Copy and Convert cannot copy to DVD DL! I had reported that issue in Creator 2011 as well as 2012…

 

Works for me..

 

[Jim_Hardin]

Mags-Z IMd me that he had formatted his PC and installed Creator 2012. Part of his text:

 

 

Thanks. totally reformatted and so far still am having problems but now seems to be a bit different. Tried again to copy one of my family video's I mean I have copied these movies before with the same disc's and at high speed. I should not be having a problem. The first two times it got to 90 to 95 percent and quickly went to 100 percent kicked out the disc and said UNABLE TO COMPLETE FILE. I think that is what it said. Next time I used a different disc and copied a smaller older family film. with a different drive. I got the same Media error. I have very little on my computer. I left off all of my anti-virus stuff and my Mal-wares program. I truly am at a loss here. I didn't even do any of the Windows 7 updates.

 

Am I putting Roxio 2012 on correctly? I bought it and downloaded from the Roxio site. I op'd just for the downloadable version. It came in two large programs. I have this part which I labeled DO FIRST so I know. I tried it without the second part to see if perhaps I was not supposed to run the second part. But it had no options to continue so I ran the second half. Roxio2012Content_ZX09AXD0SQA - DO THIS SECOND <<< Obviously it is labeled DO SECOND LOL!

 

I really am tired of burning Frisbee's. I promised my nephew i would burn him his wedding and now it's going on 5 months ago it was and still I have no movie to give to him and his bride. Very frustrating. … (The software for the camcorder ripped off DVD's and the saved files are only usable with their software and I wanted to save the Movies to my HDD's In case I would ever lose my video's I always had copies of them ready to go on my HDD's… Just trying to explain my main use for it.

 

I am going to try and put on my copy of Roxio 2010 and see if that works. if that does not do it. I might be forced (Sorry and I truly hate their software.) Nero. I got a free copy of Nero with my DVD purchase. But I truly (and I mean this) hate Nero. But I'm a bit desperate now and i know come this holiday season my nephew is going to be all over me for that wedding video.

 

Thanks for the update!

 

There is NO NEED to put Creator 2010 on your PC… or Nero for that matter

 

You did not mention WHAT media you are using? Or WHAT program within the Suite you are using to Copy the DVD DL with?

 

I am not 100% convinced it is the medias fault… But it could be sooo by using Quality media like Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden (JVC) it would lay that variable to rest!

 

(FYI: Plextor stopped making burners many years ago… I havent followed it since then but Lucky Goldstar was one of the manufactures they started using when this started. I stopped using Plextor from that day on as I was unwilling to pay extra for their name on a re-bagged LG )

 

As to the second point, it is not clear what steps, programs you are using???

 

I know for sure that Video Copy and Convert cannot copy to DVD DL! I had reported that issue in Creator 2011 as well as 2012…

 

However the Copy Disc, Burn Disc Image and Burn Data Disc work without fail…

[Mags-Z]

OK Jon I think (and forgive me if I am incorrect) but I run Windows 7 x64bit. The one part of that talks about Enabling DMA. I remember that from Windows XP but I don't think that is a issue in Windows 7 x64. As it is a dated article from 2001. I remember having to do that. It also talks about IDE drives and chipsets. I have IDE chipsets on this MoBo but all my drives are SATA's including the 3 DVD/BD drives.

 

Personally I thinking I have to reformat as I think something got corrupted during my install of Windows 7 this last time. I got a new Video card and I like to reformat to keep things straight. I also put in a new power supply and a new keyboard. So I thought as things run for a year that things could use updated and have a nice fresh install.

 

That is where the problem came in and Jon I loved C2009 and I loved C2007 and I have 7.5 They are all sort of the same interface. When you guys went to C2010 things changed and I was not liking the interface. But after putting a new computer together in 2010 and having 12 GB of RAM there was no way to run my old Vista x32. No way x32 was going to see 12 gb of RAM Only so many addresses. So I thought might as well update to Windows 7 since I needed x64 anyways. So I found out C2009 was not able to work in Windows 7 x64 A sad day in my life LOL! I was so used to that format.

 

But when I had C2009 on the computer and I bought 2010 from you guys it was weird C2009 started to work just fine and even on my laptop it works great. As long as C2010 is on there as well. I figured it must have to do with the updated files. So the last year and a half I have been burning all my family video's with C2009 still inside Windows 7

 

But since this last update something went nuts. things are not working and I'm getting these errors. It seems to get to any where from 30 to 99 percent and then fails. Even removing all Roxio programs and reinstalling just C2012 I still seem to have this problem. Windows is great for things like this. get one little corrupt file in there and good luck in finding it. My usual is just to give up reformat and hope that things work better the second time.

 

I hate to do that cause I have so many programs to tweak it is a headache. Most likely as usual I try to do to many things and it is a real meshing of programs. I have my Photo shops and stuff I use to edit my photo's and my camcorder programs and my old Camcorder programs. If only I could find someone who does a good job of dubbing old VHS Home Movies to DVD. I got tons of old VHS tapes I have of my kids being born and everything else. I would hate to lose those. Well I have been busy with leaves and stuff so Reformatting yet i don't have time for. Tuesday I will I believe and if I can't get this problem solved without Reformatting (I hope that fixes it LOL) by Tuesday I will most likely give reformatting a try.

This is one heck of a thread with great recommendations from our Gurus. Since it is detailed, I'm going to approach it form a high level view to make sure some devils haven't got lost in the details.

 

1) We can not help you with discs that are copies of commercial DVDs. This put Roxio and the Gurus on a liability of piracy whether you feel it's justified or not. They CAN help you with your family videos. However, you should know that if you are using their advice to apply to commercial discs it still may not work as CSS breaking programs don't break all the code and can cause burning issues without software even if the discs from the product you are using is to copy your home DVDs that have no encryption on them. Scientifically verified? No. Empirically verified? Yes.

 

2) Stick with the Sony's for testing.

 

3) I didn't see this, but it helps as a nice check list: http://rovicorp.force.com/PublicKB1/articles/Roxio_Article/Resolving-General-Burning-Issues

 

4) If you have Creator 2012, you have Copy and Convert (or Disc Copier - don't have the program in front of me right now). Since you seem to be a pretty techy guy, try removing all the burners but one and use Copy and Convert to copy a disc. I'm not sure what your jumper status is for the drives, just make sure what ever you choose is seem by the program. This will force Copy and Convert to use your hard drive to copy the data and then burn it.

 

I have to get back to another issue, but that should get you started. The Gurus are free to approve or dismember my suggestions as always

Thanks Jon this stuff sounds like it could work. Although I am a techy guy as you put it LOL! I am and have said I am a electrical engineer. I have built thousands of computers. I have built them for all my family. I prefer custom ones. And although I know computers and how they work. I know far more about how they work then how to work one.

 

I am old school. I went to Pitt and graduated in the early 80's. Computers then were dinosaurs. We learned to do ACSII on a stupid Epson computer and a keypad just to punch in some code and make a LED display do just about nothing LOL!. But I know electronics. But making them work is a challenge to me. Really I have never before had a problem with any of these disc. I really am no Guru and know anything about great looking picture quality vs poor quality. If I can see my kids playing on the screen that is all I care about LOL!

 

I made a mistake in starting this thing with what I thought was an ok thing. I found out it was not. As now I take care of the communications for the State Police in my state i am not into doing illegal things. So what I do now is to make and copy and all I will refer to and all my conversations here will be strictly to talk about and get answers to making copies of my children and my family on the camcorder.

[jonatsonic]

I thank all for the help. But I am only talking about the video's of my family. I think people are half reading things. My HOME MOVIES I AM TRYING TO COPY ARE OWNED BY ME! <<<< is that hard to understand? I can copy MY OWN MOVIES ANYTIME I CHOOSE. I own the rights to them. I made them. Report me for what copying my own movies? And by MY OWN MOVIES I MEAN I MADE WITH A CAMCORDER! It's almost like people are looking for a fight or something.

 

I use a program for my OWN HOME MADE MOVIES. OK can we get passed that. I started the thread not knowing now I know. My main use for said program is to copy my OWN HOME MOVIES. I have shown the files . i have shown the disc. I have said that over and over again. Nothing is wrong here. Please get off the copy right stuff and that I am doing anything illegal and if you want to help stay with what I can do here to burn my nephews wedding. OK! Sorry but you guys talking about illegal are not reading but skimming what I am saying and reading half a sentence and then saying THAT'S ILLEGAL. READ! MY CAMCORDER MOVIES! I MADE THEM. I HAVE THE RIGHT TO COPY THEM ALL I WANT TO!

 

Hey Mags

 

Again, I know you're talking about your home movies, but wanted to clarify a couple things that seemed to get lost.

 

As for the rest of my post, check it out and let us know if you have tried the article, the steps in it, or if the other suggestions make sense.

Well Bruce I mentioned that program cause i use it for my own movies. Not to steal commercial stuff. I didn't think it would be a problem mentioning it as I was using it to back up My home movies which are not copyrighted and made and owned by me. But tomorrow i will do out and get a stack of TDK and the other brands and see if there is any difference.

 

 

I use that program now for just my owned rights video and I will try tomorrow going out and no mater the cost get a pack of TDK or Verbatim. Not sure of the other names never seen those around.
