here's the situation:
i just bought some cheap DVD-Rs. when i tried to burn it using decryptor, the 1st disc was successfully burned. when i tried to burn the 2nd disc right after the 1st one, it gave me an error of "Invalid address for write" "fail to reserve track! No more track reservations allowed". i had to shut down the program. then i tried it again, same error.
i shut down the computer.
i turned the computer back on after about an hour of rest; i burned the same disc that gave me the error successfully. then i tried to burn the 2nd disc, same error.
one more time, i shut down my computer for about an hour then i successfully burned the 1st disc (the disc gave me the error from previous time). it always gives me the same error on the 2nd disc.
can someone plz help me to pintpoint the problem? im not sure if it's my computer's problem or the disc problem
thanks

my computer specs:
P4 2.4B, 1GB PC2700, 12GB HD, Pioneer DVR-105, WinXP Pro.

Chances are it's your cheap media. What brand of DVD-R are they? Also what mode were you using? (File mode or ISO Mode)

at first i thought it was the media but how could it be burned the next time i start up the computer? it was at the ISO mod. this media has no brand, it's generic.

I would always question the disks before the computer, as 95% of problems are down to crap media.

Grab yourself a tub of Riteks and see if you lose the problem ... it's the only way you will know.
