[SOLVED] DVD-RW Burn

ok1wire · 07-14-2007, 11:33 PM

What can I do to burn to a DVD-RW?

Windows XP.
TSST corp DVD/CD Burner TS-h552d.

Burner works great burning CD's and DVD-Rs.
Will not burn DVD-RWs (data or pictures).

When I drag and drop, the error message is "Windows encountered a problem when trying to access the folder."

When I use NERO the error message is "Burn process failed at 2x(2770kbs)".

Hi ok

Welcome to TSF!¬

Two things to try. First try different media (blank discs) as that could be a problem. Second try to update the firmware of your dvd drive.

Let me know how you go or if you need further assistance.

Are you using + or - RWs?

ok1wire · 07-18-2007, 08:59 AM

I'm using -RW.

have you formatted them

How does one format a dvd-rw disk? I thought they were already formatted.

I can record onto cd-rw and dvd-r without formatting.

it will be on one of the tools or action tabs in your burning software
dvd-r cannot be reused so their is no need for a format
rw disks like h/d's are formattable

I have Music Match Jukebox, Nero Version 6, and Studio Version 9. I cannot find a format command on any tab.

My DVD drive is TS-H552D. I have a request in to TOSHIBA for firmware updates.Toshiba lists 552A, B, C and U but no D.

Thanks for any further guidance.

In Nero 6 go to Recorder > Erase Rewritable Disc, select the drive (if you have more than one) from the dropdown menu, select Quick-Erase at maximum speed and click the Erase button.

Hooray!!! It worked!!!! Who would have thought that one would have to erase a new disk in order to record on it?

This is another example of a culture that has one go to "Start" in order to quit.

Many thanks koala.
