I have made 15 coasters already trying to back up my movies. Different movies at that. I use Ridata 8X-R discs w/ my NEC 3520A writer. It seems that the lens for a second turns off towards the end of writing a dvd. Say around 85-90% portion of the dvd. Then it just starts writing again.
Any ideas as to why this is happening? I don't have any programs running in the background either. It reads/rips perfectly but causes errors towards the end when burning.
I burned five from my spindle at my friends house on his burner and they worked fine. screw it then. I guess im gonna have to bite the bullet on this one.
Take a can of air (one with a straw thingy) and open the drawer.
shoot some air in there a couple times. It may be lint that was carried in witht he cd or dvd and it stuck there. If you feel adventerous take your drive out open it up clean it and see if there is an adjustment gear and go one notch one way or another. (This will be similar to the PS2 laser error fix)
Does it read CDs and DVDs fine? or is it just the burning that it messes up on?
You can blow it out, it actually does help sometimes - but if it's under warranty I wouldn't open up the drive. Request a replacement, which will likely be used. What software are you using to burn?
