DVD Burner pissing me off
So I bought this over at newegg:
NEC Black 16X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 16X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2M Cache IDE/ATAPI DVD Burner - OEM
And then these for it:
RiDATA 4.7GB 16X DVD+R 100 Pack Cake Box Disc
And so I started burning stuff, 1st with nero 7. 1st burn was some vob video files and went fine. 2nd burn was for a game and no problem - 4cds to 1 dvd. Then I tried a .img file of several family guy episodes and weird stuff starts happening. 99% through burn and I get "unspecified recorder error". I do some reading and maybe its some copyright issue nero has with .img files. I go try imgburn (formerly dvddecrypter) and then it works. So I try my next .img file of family guy stuff and it says it burns fine but when I pop it into my regular dvdrom it goes nutso. Then I try it in my laptop and it plays fine!
Not to mention the weird burn speeds I get sometimes 4x, 8x, 15x for dvds and then 32x at times for cds.
Is this a burner issue, software, or dvd media? Or is this something common with dvd burners?
Hardware (off the top of my head)
Athlon XP 2.2 GHz
Abit Nforce 2
1gb ddr
Maxtor 250GB SATA
ATI 8500 AGP
