My Samsung CD writer doesn't recognize my blank CD's

brianduke · 12-21-2005, 01:22 PM

My 7 days old Samsung CD-RW (52x32x52) has been able to burn about 6 CD's of movies using a 700MB multispeed CD-R, but recently it goes to the whole normal process of encoding the video and finishes it to 100% but it stops when it finally writes the video and ejects the blank CD-R, it pops out a message to "replace it with a blank or empty CD-R/CD-RW". I have brought 8 new empty/blank CD-R (same ones I use to burn the 6 videos I burned before) but it always pops out a message to "have it replaced with an empty CD-R/CD-RW". I have unistalled/installed a few times my CD writer software Nero Express 6 (Ver.6.3.1.20) and InCD 4 (Ver.4.0.12.5) but nothing works I even downloaded a few free CD writing software just to rule out if there is something wrong with Nero software. Windows always tells me that there is not enough memory for the application to process it, but I have solved that by erasing a few of the PC games installed in the computer (I now have 11.10 GB of free memory where Nero creates some cache).Most of the time my system automatically shuts down without finishing the CD burning. I have looked through the Device Manager and everything looks normal. I do not know if there are some incompatibility issues with my other software like the Advance X Video Converter Ver 3.9.40 and the K-Lite Codec Pack.

It doesn't seem to read/recognize that I have a blank CD-R inserted into the drive

My OS is Window Xp Pro Service Pack 2
2.4 GHz

I have attached an analysis of my computer by using Nero Info Tool (Infotool.zip), this may provide you with vital info about whats wrong.

I only have moderate computer knowledge, please somebody help me on this...I have tried every help section and google search for some fixes but could not find any solution to it or explanation why it doesn't recognize my blank CD-R and it doesn't burn anymore.

please email me or answer back on this thread if you have something to share.

Hey elma I do not need anybody's comment about what I posted! what I need is somebody who have brains and the wits to post on this thread. If you have to ask me for some patience, yes I did wait for days and searched for every solution there is in the web about my problem, thats why I thought somebody might have the knowledge to help me with my problem here.Instead I will be getting a comment to a somebody who will be judging me about my patience.

Sounds like you're not burning a dataCD bur rather a SVCD or something to that effect? Well, if that's the case, those disc formats are limited by TIME rather than megabytes (directly that is)

Nonetheless you're gonna get the Admin's comment: there's no point in bumping after 6 minutes. Attitude wont help you get any help faster.

So as i noted before, check that you're not running into time restrictions of roughly 20, 50 or 70 minutes depending on the format you're burning to
