| 1459517 | 2019-03-28 02:29:00 | I can burn cd's ok but I am unable to burn dvd's on same burner. Tried several burner programs which work ok on different pc. Light on burner says that it is burning and I get 'burn completed successfully' message but there is nothing on disc which still reads as empty. Are there any setting for drive that I can check? Thanks |

| 1459518 | 2019-03-28 03:21:00 | Have you just tried the built in windows burning options? I rarely burn disks these days, mainly just iso images of linux, and for those all you need to do is right click the file and choose burn to disk - no other software needed. Could be a hardware fault though, the DVD tracks require a different amount of laser power and focus so it's possible the laser might be good enough for CDs but not DVDs. Just a thought. I think burning disks is rapidly becoming a thing of the past though, there are easier ways to do most things. |

The software would go through the lengthy process of authoring / compiling the video format etc, including doing a pretend burn, which actually just tests that the computer can put through the data at a rate that will be sufficient to complete a real burn without any glitches. Maybe there's some little tick box somewhere in the setup that actually makes it write to disc, instead of pretend write to disc. |

| 1459523 | 2019-03-28 19:35:00 | Also vote for using Imgburn. And, you haven't got an old DVD drive have you? ONce they used to do only certain ones. DVD+ or DVD - for instance. Yours does all? Or just certain of them? |

| 1459524 | 2019-03-28 21:19:00 | My Lite-on burner had similar symptoms. I studied the problem and determined it had died. I always intended to replace it and at the time PBTech had very affordable ones. As I subsequently realized, I so rarely need the drive so it never happened. | Tbird650 (6754) | ||
