Write Error

I have an NEC DVD-RW 1300A. Used CloneDVD and DVDXCopy platinum to try and burn a copy of my video. Small video - about 3G - well under the 4+ GbLimit. (Have AnyDVD 3.2.0.1 running as well)

I get the write error
"writing to Video DVD was not successful:
DVD write error ( WriteDVD9)
A DVD write error has occurred, probably caused by bad medium. Please replace the medium and try again."
or
"UDF 5 65536"

I have tried, Pine, TDK & Imation - all with the same error.

However, if I just write Data to the DVD, I can write 4.6GB to any of these DVD's.

Any suggestions??

TIA

Is your burner set as master? Does the error come up immediately when you try to burn?

It's set up as a secondary slave with a Reg CD player as secondary master.

It burns about 1/4 of the DVD, then craps out - same place everytime, any kind of DVD.

Switch your cd-rom and dvd burner. Your burner should be master. Report back your results with this new setup.

i have the same dvd writer, and am having the same problem - how do you see if the dvd writer is set as master, and how do you change it?

that must have been it - I switched the drives and have made 2 perfectly good DVD's - thanks so much!!!!

If this is the case, why wouldn't "they" have built the PC this way - geesh.

Your bios settings should tell you what is master and what is slave - then you can swap the cables and/or jumpers if necessary.

While I was at it, I also updated the firmware from 1.05 to 1.08.

Your very welcome. Don't know why they would set a cd-rom as master and the burner as slave. DVD burner manufacturers even recommend setting it as master when installing.

That can't be the problem with my dvd writer - it's already set up as the secondary master.

Thanks anyway!

you might want to upgrade the bios while you are at it, I upgraded from 1.05 to 1.08 - that might help
