Memorex error

Post by xx0warrig0xx »

Due to mems being more cheaper then verbs, (which liteon is built to last so my mems dont wear and tear it) but it wont lemme burn at 2 minimum is 4 on img burn on pack is says 2.4 any 1 know why?

and dont gimme that "You should use verbs" well i used them and found no diff in performance or wear and tear

well you should use verbatim disc
the performance will be fine once it gets the info from the disc.
but
yes it does put more wear on you dvd drive laser because it has to work harder reading the info from the disc
that is because of the kind of dye use on cheaper disc.

man we dont just make this shit up. (well not all of it) :D
there is a reason we say what we say

Open imgburn, put your disk in the drive, and wait for img burn to load the disk, then look at the supported speeds.

If it says 4x 8x 16x (or whatever, with 4 being the lowest) thats your problem. If not, and it says 2.4x 4x 8x 16x (again, whatever, but 2.4 as lowest) then the problem is your burner doesnt support burning DL media at 2.4x.

Search up your burner, and look for its supported speeds. (If you go to a website, and you see the supported speed for dl dvd's is 16x thats the max speed only, keep looking.)

Also, 4x is not much of a difference from 2.4x I burn my games at 4x for sake of time.

aight i get it

it factors between my burner (which is a new 1 and it dont support 2.4x so now i havfe to bs wallmart to refund me :D )

the mems are ok but ill try verbs but on a liteon it really dont matter cuz its made to be wear and tear??

question: does any 1 have a warn down lite on cuz i never seen anything like tht

i respect u guys but the money i save is what matters most.

and @cofree: lol what u mean u dont make shit up most of the time

(IPREP MAY BE A LIE :D )

yea man
use the cheapest disc that work
if/when your drives goes out

the big thing here is the people that did not do there flash and dont know how
they should try to make it last as long as possible

I had a couple memorex DL's laying around, used them both for backups, and both worked on all 6 of my drives. I still use verb's though.

IMO Verb's arent that expensive. The disks always go on sale, I bought 4 30 packs for 35 bucks a piece a couple weeks ago. (All are 2.4x MIS)
