The Toe Cutter Oct 27, 2003, 09:45 AM I just got a Sony DRU-510A using Verbatim DVD-R discs (windows XP Home Edt). Here is my problem...every so often when I'm using the provided recordmax software to burn it's reading the burner drive and asking for a "blank" disc. It happened with 3 brand new Verbatim disks !! I never wrote any info to these disks. Looking at the underside of the disk it doesn't looked burned either.
Then if I insert the "blank" DVD-R into Decrypter it says "media not recognized" ???
I use DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink, then burn image using Recordmax. Read from reg DVD drive and leave blank disc in burner the whole time.
Is the burner somehow writing a small amount of info disk without me knowing?
Any advice?
Just bad disks?
handyguy Oct 27, 2003, 10:39 AM Im not clear on whats happening. If I use RNM to copy a disk, yes it asks for a blank disk EVEN if there already is one in it.
The Toe Cutter Oct 27, 2003, 11:43 AM Thanks for the reply. The problem is that RNM keeps asking for a "blank" disk even after I have inserted one and even tried re-inserting it again.
It's saying the disc is not blank, but it came right from the spindle !!!
Even if I go into Windows Explorer and click on burner driver (with disk in burner) it says "please insert disk"
Maybe its just bad media, but to have 3 do this out of a 15 pack spindle seems odd.
jesterrace777 Oct 27, 2003, 02:03 PM Have you checked to make sure your jumpers, ide cables are cofigured correctly?
The Toe Cutter Oct 27, 2003, 02:15 PM Well I know the jumper/IDE cables are fine because if I grab another blank DVD-R from the spindle and put it in the drive, then it burns it fine.
Like I said it only has happended with a couple of disks.
The only explanation is bad disks from the manufacturer. I ordered some Ritek's so I hope I don't have the same problems
handyguy Oct 27, 2003, 06:25 PM It wont support the old Verbs. They did reformulate. I don't know about Riteks in a Sony. I use Accus, they are $72/100 & write at 2x.
jesterrace777 Oct 27, 2003, 10:11 PM Riteks are a bit cheaper and will work fine in the Sony (at least everyone I have talked to has said that Riteks work great in thier Sonys).
Mr Snatcher Oct 28, 2003, 09:40 AM You must have bought those from office max or office depot whatever they call them selves, we bought the 2 15 packs buy one get one free, total of 60, 16 of them gave the same message.
The Toe Cutter Oct 28, 2003, 10:14 AM Mr. Snatcher.....You da man
You hit the nail on the head. YES I did buy the Verbatim's at Office Max (where I also picked up my burner).
That's great though, now I don't feel like I am going crazy!! I have some Ritek G04's on order.
Thanks again I can now put this issue to sleep.
Mr Snatcher Oct 28, 2003, 10:17 AM Send the disks back to verbatim and they will send you replacements.
