Solve : PIONEER BD-RW BDR-209D failing burns? |
|
Answer» My PC Blu-Ray burner/player drive has been giving me 'failed' burns for the past few weeks. 10:30:47 AM #7 Text 0 File DlgWaitCD.cpp, Line 2988 Your BD-R is not recognizing the specific Media- it should be listing a MID code here (Media Identification) immediately after this part of the log, but it does not. Are you using a new "batch" of BD-R discs? A later error from the drive, "KEY_MEDIUM_ERROR", would seem to be in line with unrecognized media, as with a KEY_ILLEGAL_REQUEST error. Quote Burn process started at 10x (44,950 KB/s)Maybe try a reduced speed? If the drive isn't recognizing the medium it might not be sufficiently recognizing the maximum burn speed for that medium. Lower speeds take longer but tend to be more reliable if higher speeds are giving problems.Also consider: Your Blu-Ray burner/player drive might need some SERVICE. Dust and grime can build up inside the mechanism. You can clean it out with a can of compressed air. Also, the LED may have a dust bunny on it. Clean it and see if that helps. Yes, I've already tried burning at slower speeds, all the way down to 2X, and using my laser disc cleaning disc. Still failing. Yes, disc are new Sony Blu-Rays. And, I've burned other Blu-Ray discs from this same 50 pack. Quote from: tkmops on September 19, 2017, 03:26:27 PM I've burned other Blu-Ray discs from this same 50 pack. Doesn't matter- the manufacturer tends to be the biggest factor but product batches aren't delineated by the resulting package quantities. In the end a spindle can contain discs from any number of different production batches, which can cause some discs to be problematic in certain drives. Ages ago I had a CD burner which had a heck of a time with a spindle of RiDATA CD-R discs. Much the same symptoms you've described, it would succeed perhaps 10-15% of the time, but would usually fail. From what I found at the time, it was an issue with the drive firmware, which may apply in your case. I can't say whether said firmware fixed that instance for me since when I tried to do so I bricked the drive- this is also why I lament making the recommendation to update the firmware. if nothing else you could see if there are firmware updates for your Blu-Ray Drive. It could be a failing drive but I don't think there is enough info for that just yet.Went out to the Pioneer Web site and D/L'd the latest firmware(2016), and installed it. Burning Blu-Rays still fail.If burning at slowest settings fail the drive has gone South...replace it.Just burned some CD's and DVD's OK. Blu-Rays still fail. Looks like it's time for a new drive.

Looks like it's time for a new drive.There's usually a separate laser for each of those.Ah, that might explain it, thanks.Replace it...these days burners last maybe 2 - 3 years One last check before I decide to buy a new drive. I re-booted, and was able to burn 2 Blu-Ray discs, then the 3rd one failed, log is attached. Any comments before I go and buy a new drive? [attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]Errors appear the same as before. It is possible the BD Write Laser is flakey and sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. It may be as I mentioned related to specific discs within the spindle being from different batches that happen to be incompatible. In either case, another Burner would "fix" the issue altogether. One thought though- Have you tried any alternative burning software other than Nero? Quote One thought though- Have you tried any alternative burning software other than Nero? Good point...had not considered that...No, I haven't tried any other burning SW other than Nero. I could...any suggestions as to something free? |
