Hi,
I tried to burn a DVD for the first time on E1505 laptop.
But the Sonic recorder failed at time of finalizing the DVD.
Then I tried with Nero 6.6.0.13 version, and it showed
success but the DVD never gets recognized by windows.
I tried multiple times with Sonic and with Nero decreasing
the writing speed to 2.4x. But the same problem occurs
every time. My DVD drive is
Drive : TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-L532B
Type : DVD±R/RW DL Recorder
Firmware Version : DE03
Buffer Size : 2 MB
Date : 07-28-05
Serial Number : 0002612758
Vendor Specific : 07/28/05
Drive Letter : D:\
Location : 1:0
Mechanism : Tray
Read Speed : 24 , 20 , 16 , 6 X
Write Speed : 24 , 16 , 8 , 4 X
The media I used was Fujifilm 16x DVD+R disk.
It is new and there are no scratches etc.
I also tried to burn a Re-writable CD and it was successful at first attempt using Nero.
Dell diagnostics tests pass. of course they test only read
access.
I guess this might be some hardware/firmware problem ?
or Nero/Sonic compatibility with this dvd drive ?
Please help...

if the CDR burned ok, maybe the problem is your DVDR media. before doing anything drastic, you should try burning onto different DVDR media.

How's Sonic compared to Nero? Is one better than the other?
-
Much prefer Nero to Sonic. I like version six over seven which is still pretty buggy. Plus they are trying make it into the whole media suite which I personally do not care for. Best thing is you can get an OEM copy of Nero 6 on ebay for $10 or less.

I use Sonic and it works fine with Silver Line DVD-s.

So far I've burned about a dozen data DVDs on my E1505, no problems. I have the Sony DW-Q58A drive. I've used Verbatim 16X -R's and Ritek 16X +R's.
The drive is slower than expected, taking 13-16 minutes to do a full DVD, but no coasters. I've also had no problems reading the same media burned on my NEC 3520A. In both cases using an OEM Nero 6.6.?.
FWIW

i have a Dell Latitude D810 i had tons of trouble with Sony DVD Durners they skip allot very sensitive right now i use a NEC-ND6650A it works better then the sony drives try upgrading firmware on dells site

I'm using Nero, how do I check whether there is any coaster or not on burned DVDs? -
I read at many places that TSSTCorp's DVD RW drive is giving problems.
BTW, I now recollect, I didn't set my DVD drive's region. Can this be an issue with burning ?

I've burned some DVD's with my TSSTCorp DVD RW drive and they all failed to finalized according to Nero...
-
Avoid TSSTCorp DVD+-RW at all cost. It is a piece of crap.
Mine is making a lot of noise and it's vibrating like crazy. -
The error rate has to be checked with another tool. My usual check, can I read the CD/DVD in another device.

I got my replacement for my TSSTCorp drive today but the box says the NEC drive is refurbished. Should I still keep it?
-
NEC is a better drive in my opinion whether refurbed or not. I had playback issue with discs burned at 8x on the L532. They were Taiyo Yuden discs to boot which are the best blank discs. Try some different discs. VideoHelp.com is a good resource to find which discs work with your drive.

After lot of tries with different DVD media, I was able to burn a BenQ 8x DVD on my TSSTCorp DVD burner.
I had contacted Dell and as per them may be I need a re-install of the CD burning software.
Will receive their CD for Sonic in 2-3 days.
Thanks for your suggestions.
