DVD Burning Issues
Apr 13, 2009
I am having an issue that seems to be related to Windows 7.
Whenever I try to burn any kind of DVD, using any program, Nero, Cyberlink Power2Go, even windows own built in burning software, every disk fails to burn.
When I boot into my Windows XP Partition on the same computer, using the same DVD drive, discs burn fine.
Having the same problem with my Windows 7 Laptop - - The main PC is running build 7068 x64 and the Laptop is running the x86 version of 7068
Any ideas folks?

I bought a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop new in Italy in December 2009 from a major computer store. The computer came installed with Windows 7 Home Premium (Italian), and I have installed on it an original version of Microsoft Office XP 2003 Professional Edition (English). The CD-ROM unit is a Matsushita DVD+-RW UJ890.Since I bought the computer I have sometimes had difficulty burning DVDs with the built-in Windows 7 burner function that I access from Explorer. Often in the past I have ended up with partially written DVDs. Nevertheless by using high-quality DVDs I have been able to burn DVDs successfully most of the time using the Windows 7 utility. I last used the utility successfully a couple of months ago when I burned a couple of DVDs to backup some photos.
Since yesterday I have been trying to backup my most important files onto DVDs. The attempt has failed in every case. First I copy about 3 GB of files from drive C: onto drive D: in Explorer. These are several hundred files divided into three different directories, consisting mostly of PDF, Word, Excel, and JPG files, some of them with names in foreign scripts like Cyrillic, Japanese, or Chinese. Then I insert a new DVD (either Verbatim or TDK) and attempt to master the DVD by selecting the option �write to disk� from the Explorer menu (whether from the menus at the top of the screen or by right-clicking on drive D: in the lefthand pane of the screen). A window pops up asking me for the name of the disk, whether I want it to be �flash� or one-time only, and the recording speed (8x, 4x, 2x, etc.).
Once I click �continue� to start burning the DVD, a window pops up to tell me that Windows is making an image of the disk, and then the window tells me that it has begun mastering the disk, giving me a countdown of how many minutes are left (6 minutes to 11 minutes, depending on the speed I choose). But no matter what name I give to the disk and what recording speed I pick, after 30-60 seconds the popup window and the Explorer window both suddenly close and the DVD unit�s writing light goes out, but the DVD unit continues to whir at high speed forever.
Here are the results I got yesterday with 3 separate DVDs:
1. On the first DVD I used Windows 7�s burn utility on a Verbatim DVD, and I ended up with 28 files burned onto the DVD (making it unusable).
2. On the second try I used some simple burn software that I had used before � Roxio Burn � on a TDK DVD, and ended up with 4 files burned onto the disk (but from different folders than the 28 files burned by Windows 7).
3. On my third attempt, after going offline, shutting down my antivirus software (AVG), and using Task Manager to shut down processes from that other burn software, Roxio Burn, I used Windows 7�s burn utility again on a TDK DVD and ended up with the identical 28 files that had I ended up with the first time, though this time I had chosen a lower writing speed.
In all three of these attempts the DVD unit continued to whir after the windows had closed, until such time as I ejected the disk manually.When I first encountered this problem yesterday I thought the problem might be caused by my antivirus software � AVG Free Edition � interfering with the writing process, because after one particular automatic update by AVG about two months ago I began having problems with AVG blocking Skype and placing some of my Nokia cell phone software in quarantine. But by disabling the HIPS element of AVG I was able to resolve those problems several weeks ago and begin using Skype successfully again. But just to be sure, today I disinstalled AVG completely and installed Microsoft Security Essentials. Because I had read in a forum online that Windows 7 might have conflicts with other burning software that was also installed, today I also disinstalled the only burning software that I had installed � Roxio Burn � and did a cold reboot. Before attempting to burn a DVD again today, I also used Task Manager to shut down some other processes that didn�t seem necessary, such as a Nokia autolauncher and a Java autoupdate process. I also changed the time delay for Windows� sleep or power-save function to one hour.
I inserted a new TDK DVD, accepted the disk name proposed by Windows, chose for the disk to be permanent rather than flash, and chose a burning speed of 4x. After 30 seconds I received a popup window with the following message:
�ST Service Scheduling has stopped working.�I ignored this message and did nothing, because often in the past when I have succeeded in burning DVDs with Windows 7's utility I have had this message appear, but if I do nothing I almost always have the burn proceed successfully. In this case, though, after another 10-20 seconds the Explorer window and burning-countdown window both closed, the DVD light went out, but the DVD continued whirring at high velocity. The DVD unit did not respond to my pushing the expel button by hand, and when I tried to expel the DVD using Explorer I only got an error message, so the DVD could be expelled only by shutting down the computer.When I turned the computer back on, I discovered that no files at all had been written to this DVD.below are the details from the ST Service Scheduling error message (in Italian, sorry). Whenever I get these ST Service Scheduling error messages I get them twice, i.e., after choosing �Close� one time the same message immediately appears again and I have to choose �Close� a second time.

At this moment I'm burning a data dvd using Windows Explorer. It formatted the empty dvd and I had to drag my files (more than 4 gB) to the empty dvd folder. Then it started copying the files (burning them). But it's extremely slow? It is transferring the files at a speed of about 594 kB per seconds and burning the disc this way will take about more than 2 hours?Don't know if it matters but I was using the Live File System.

When I'm adding files to burn to a CD, how do I tell when the CD is full and won't hold any more? My program on my old computer had a little line at the bottom, and each time I added one it would fill up more and more till the tip of it started to turn yellow if I had too much on.

I use WMP to burn an audio CD, which is 700M. Each song is 23.5M. I drag about 20 songs to the burn list under WMP. It seems each song is in one track. But, when i hit start burn button, there is ONLY song being burned. Why? Why I cannot burn all 20 songs in the one CD?

it doesn't matter if I use a third party program or the W/7 burn image feature to burn an iso, I end up with a dvd that has written data that can't be seen in explorer. All I can see in explorer is "files ready to be written to the disc > desktop."
The desktop file is [.ShellClassInfo]
LocalizedResourceName=@%SystemRoot%system32shell32.dll,-21815
If I try to burn that file it says "no files [staged] to burn"
I've tried different dvd's including Vertbatim, but all have been +RW.
Verify disk confirms the data is burnt and closing the disk does not make any difference....the files can't been seen.
Optical drive = LG H20L (with latest firmware)
Edit....the files I'm burning should be visible, but in any case I've got "shown hidden files, folder & drives" selected in folder options.

I am seeking advice on ISO burning software....I have had only one experience with creating an ISO file and that was long ago. I want to use it to burn audio CDs and Windows 7 64-bit SP1. I downloaded ImgBurn because it is compatible with all Windows 7 versions, but before installing I would like to know if I made the right decision.

Having recorded a TV programme last night on my computer running Windows 7 using Media Centre, I want to burn this prog to DVD to keep it. Why does Media Centre tell me the there is not enough room on the DVD (4,7 gig) to record a programme which is only 2 gig in size? It offers to do it at reduced quality and warns it may take several hours - anyone know why this is and if there is better sodtware out there to do this job.

Right, I was basically writing a series of files onto my dvd-r using the windows 7 cd burner (the default one). The problem is, I cut-pasted them onto the dvd.Now, this was the fourth DVD being burnt and I had done the other three quite successfully. However, the third DVD, despite deing burnt, was still showing the files as *not* burnt. The problem was that the completion dialog hadn't shown upThat didn't seem to be a problem. I therefore deleted those files (which were written successfully) and cut-pasted the next batch for the next DVD. So far so good.However, the burn completion dialog now showed up. In my haste, I clicked finished. Because of this, my newly copied files were deleted (as Wi

how to use the disc burning programows 7 home premium. I'm trying to learn how to use the disc burning program that comes with the system. I had some pics in the pic library and burned them onto a CD-R. First I tried dragging them into the blank space. That didn't seem to work. Then I simply selected pictures to burn and that worked.However, afterwards I had a problem. I took out some old discs of pictures I had burned previously using another computer (using Roxio Easy CD Creator). When I put these discs onto the DVD drive, suddenly I found that the pics that were supposed to be on the disc had disappeared, and that the new pics (which I had just burned previously onto the blank disc) were now on this old disc. I tried putting in a few more old discs and the same thing happened. The data that was supposed to be on the disc had disappeared and had been overwritten with new data that I had previously burned.
I noticed that I had a message whenever I turned on my computer, "You have images ready to burn." Apparently, the images I burned previously were still set up in the cue to burn again whenever I put a CD into the drive. And these CDs were CD-Rs, which aren't supposed to be able to be rewritten.

I'm running Windows 7 premium 64bit.
I generally use Ashampoo burning software 7 to burn files to discs etc and it works fine........however it wont burn to RAM discs.
I tried using the Windows built in burning operation to drag and drop 2 gb of files to a DVDRAM disc......it started OK, but after 40 minutes I pressed cancel.
I burned the same files to a normal DVD and it was done in a couple of minutes.
The discs are made by Panasonic and should be just drag and drop.
My DVD drive is an Asus sata drive. I checked on the Asus web site and the last driver build was a few years old, so I didn't try it.
Anyone else having problems with DVDRAM discs? Is there other software I could be using?

I like Windows 7 but I don't like WMP. In fact I have disabled it and now use VLC player. What is the easiest way to take music from my Music folder and put it on a cd? I tried using WMP and that was a joke. Is there a way to do it using Windows Explorer? Is it possible to insert a blank cd, open it as an extra driver and drag and drop music files into it?

I build my own PC's, desktops anyway. This isnt my first try at burning DVD's.This started about 10 or so days ago. I drag and drop the avi to Win DVD Maker . I can watch "Preview" and get sound everytime. Hit "Burn" and when everything is finished , I play the DVD to test it and NO SOUND ! Almost all the video files I burn to DVD are avi. I have done this hundreds of times. This is a new and recent event. I tried to google this and I see a bunch of the same trouble back in 2009 but nothing recent. Im running Windows 7 Pro 64bit. Im tempted to run system restore. Before I do this I wanted to see if anyone has any answers. Please dont suggest imgburn or Nero or any other software. I want to know what happened to my system as it sits. [code]
