Poor burner.

Anone have an idea on why my burner seems to get errors everytime I burn an Audio CD ? Sometimes it get's to like 95% then an error and I only miss a little off the end, but usally not. Im pretty sure it's only with the audio.

usually happens if you have a lot of things running while burning.

I tried burning at Every speed, with absolutly nothing else running.

Well, i know that with some of the "knock off" burners, such as the "lite-on" burners, they tend to error. i would say to knock the recording speed down to 8x, shut down all programs but nero [aim, clone cd, msn messenger, whatever....]

Already tried. I tried burning at 4x....It's a Samsung burner so it ain't a cheap one. Had no other apps but still get burning errors.

Maybe it's the CD-R's in general, or there is a problem with the files.

Try burning less songs.

I think your burner is about done. I had my first burner for 3 years, and all of a sudden all types of disks were getting errors: audio, data, movies, ect... I tried everything from new media, to turning everything off while burning, burning at 1x, and trying different programs. I think pretty soon nothing will burn correctly and you will need a new burner. I bought a plexwriter and its the best damn burner I have ever used.

Are there any types of lens cleaning products that are safe for burners? Can you use regular lens cleaning CD's?

They're not 'Knock-offs'..... in fact, Lite-On drives are some of the best out there today...

sometimes a certain cd brand would give me issues. did you just bought a pack?

perry · Post by **perry** » Fri Jan 31, 2003 7:56 am

Nah, I've been usign the same brand for quite a while, and the first like 30 out of this same pack were fine.

It's not the number of Audio tracks no matter how many I try there seems to always be a burning error at some time...and if it was...I want to be able to burn a CD with more songs!

Everything else seems to burn fine

Emu's, Video etc...Damn, I really don't wanna buy a enw burner till a few months when Im building a new computer.

pavelbure · Post by **pavelbure** » Fri Jan 31, 2003 8:52 am

maybe try different burning software.

perry · Post by **perry** » Fri Jan 31, 2003 9:03 am

I tried both Nero and Windows Media Player, they're allI have...I'll try the DJ demo but it dislike it with a passion.
