Hey guys,
I just bought a DVD burner last night from Fry's Electronics, 8X, DVD+-R/RW and tried to burn to a 8X DVD+ disc last night, but had it fail with about 89% left to write. It did that on two difference discs.
But the software I was using was only recording at a max of 4X it said, not 8X, so could that be the reason it failed?
My drive didn't come with any drivers, but I found on the net that it just uses a standard Microsoft driver. But when I look it up in Device Manager, it says the driver is from 2001. Doesn't that seem old? And does the driver affect at all what speeds you can record at?
It's a Toshiba SD-R5292 or something close to that. Came in a Pacific Digital box called Mach-8. It seems to work fine, I was burning the movie, all was well, until it just died at the end.
Since the program said it was writing at 4X, I want to think that the 8X discs were the wrong type to get, even if I have an 8X burner...
Thanks for any help you guys might have for me.
Mike
