Hello there,
Anyone try burning a DVD disk (+R type in particular) under Windows 7?
I tried several different techniques all which produced coasters.
One time when i burned one directory of files to the disk it read back ok, so i burned another directory to same disk and then the disk became unreadable.
Another time i burned four directories at once, but only the last directory in the list was readable. Then after i ejected the disk NON of the directories were readable. Before ejecting i got a message that Windows had to add something to the disk to make it readable on any computer system. What a joke.
From what i can see, it may be that the Windows software can not deal with a drive that will not burn at the full speed (16x) and so it writes garbage to the disk. This is just a guess though. So i tried reducing the speed to 8x and it did not help. The lowest speed is 2x but that's just ridiculous as it is a 16x burner.
With better software it burns from about 6x up to 15x as it shows the true burn speed. But it's only sometimes at 6x for a little while near the start of the burn.
Any ideas or experience with this?
Thanks...
