1st burn OK, next 3 failures.

Well I just recently got the Plextor P712A. I've been trying to find the fastest way to back up my DVD's with functional menus and have been using DVD shrink to encode and Dvd Decrypter to burn. My first dvd i attempted worked perfect, no freezes, full menus and nice quality. Then I tried again the same exact way with same tools and I keep getting I/O Errors while burning in DVD decypter it says Check Condition. Now I have Legacy DVD-R's which aren't the best but have good reports with my burner, and they first worked like a charm. So I'm not sure if there is something I'm doing wrong here. I tried a different burning program, Easy CD Creator that came with my burner and that also failed. I would try nero now after I encode the ISO, but again I'm afraid to waste another disc. Anyone have suggestions on anything I can do?

-It said someting about sectors 7803- somethign, cant recall the specific ranges.

try burning with nero, no probs for me

It sounds like media problems. I doubt is Nero will give any improvement. Try a different media before you change anything around. Decrypter is one of the better burning solutions out there.

Well, I found out that the 30 percent that I did burn successfully is still on the DVD-R it plays in my dvd player and works fine, just stops where the data ended. I have a TDK DVD-R and a Verbatim DVD+R my only 2 good ones, and don't wanna waste them if its some other kinda of problem. If my first one worked fine, why are these other ones givin me problems?

Have been suffering similiar problems, have been using TDK and Verbatim media with same results stalling, jumping not working. Recommend you use Rewritable media until problem fixed.

i had a similar problem ... halfway thru a cake box of 50 dvd-r's (ritek) i started getting sector errors.... i just put a cd/dvd laser cleaner disk in the drive and let it run for a few minutes .... problem solved all disks burned perfectly .... try it ...you've got nothing to lose .... failing that then you have bad media ... its not uncommon to have a batch of disks where some work great but others fail ... i have found that ritek tend to be the most reliable disks, i've tried loads of other brands but the riteks have proven to give best results with only a couple of failed burns from the hundreds that i have used
