LG DVD writer burns file to DVD but Windows/Nero shows "Burning Failed"

[pKal]

Hi,

I have LG DVD super multi writer (LG GH24NS72). I am facing some weird issues while burning my steam game backup into dvd. Sometimes the burning fails, this is sporadic. Other times the data is burned but Nero shows 'Burning failed' error. When I put the disk back in and check, it has all the data. There are also times where I have around 2.5 GB data and no matter what I do, after moments the burning starts Nero gives the error again and ejects the disk. I put it back in and try to redo and now the dvd is corrupted. I have installed the latest firmware GH24NS72_WM02-00 from LG website. Device manager says the driver is up-to-date. I have already lost around 10 disks due to this. Please help!

Thanks,
pKal

Beware of "Other times the data is burned but Nero shows 'Burning failed' error. When I put the disk back in and check, it has all the data" . Cause you better do a verification since windows might show all your files with the relevant capacity but the file might be corrupted.

Yes. You can check using another software like ashampoo. It's a solid burning software. Also did you try using different brands of DVDs? cause now aday's DVDs are very cheap and also poor in quality.

Thanks for the warning. I installed Ashampoo Burning Studio and was not able to burn disk at the first attempt, here is the log:

You can see that it has waited for good 10 mins before giving the error.

Did you use the same type of DVDs or tried another?

Cold be a bad batch of DVD's, had this with some from well known retail chain, while cheapos from local computer shop worked fine.

Rather than use Nero, what happens if you use Windows own DVD burning tool, remembering to close the session?
