DVD Burn Problem

Mary422 wrote on 2/13/2006, 6:19 PM

When I go to burn DVD, I do not have my DVD burner as a Device choice. The only choice is ISO Image Writer which does not burn to the DVD. How can I get my burner to show up so I can choose to burn to DVD? Thanks for help.

Make sure you are running the latest update of DVDA or DVDAS - click on the support link at the top of the page and go to the downloads section. If after updating it still doesn't show up, then I'd formally report the problem to Sony (again, click on the support link) and then use something like Nero or CopyToDVD to do the actual burn.

Which version of DVD Architect are you using? You need the latest version in order to burn to the most recent burners.

We could probably be more helpful if you mention a few specifics:

1. What version of DVD Architect are you using?
2. What is the brand and model of your burner?
3. How is the burner connected? Internal IDE, external USB, external firewire?
3. Are you using both the latest update of your version DVD Architect, and are you using the most current firmware for your burner? (For the latter, check the manufacturer's website.)

DVD A3 doesn't like Verbatim-R X16 ! (15' to burn)
But likes X8 (8' to burn)

Nero is OK (4' to burn !). Only DVD A3.0c doesn't like !

Burner is Pioneer 110D, latest firmware.

Thank's DGrob I will contact Sony
Thank's also SKROOTAYP but until now I've not used DL : I wait the price of the disks to decrease !

But I have some more news for DVD A3 and Verbatim X16

I've changed the burner Pioneer 110D, latest firmware
with Nec 4550A, latest firmware 1.08
because the burn with Pioneer 110D was not good with Nero 6.6.1.4 : the DVD didn't play properly !
With Nec 4550A it is OK with Nero and Verbatim X16. With this NEC burner I can burn Verbatim X16 with DVD A3.0c BUT it doesn't use the speed X16. Time to burn is like X4 !! But at least it works.

So I will contact Sony to send me the *dll

Conclusion : DVD A3.0c likes Verbatim X16 but not fully :)
