Is this because I have the wrong speed of blank DVD disks?

Hi,
I'm using Toast 6.1.1 to try to write to a 8X 8.5GB DVD+R Dual Layer blank disk on an LG GSA-5120D Super Multi DVD Rewriter which is external and connected via Firewire. Writing to all other disks (DVD and CD) has been fine but not the previously mentioned DL disk. I get this from Toast before it starts to write at all I think:
The drive reported an error:
Sense Key = MEDIUM ERROR
Sense Code = 0x0C
WRITE ERROR
In the drive's manual it says this for Read/Write speed:
Write: DVD+R Double layer: 2.4X
Read: DVD+R Double layer: 8X
Again the disks I'm attempting to use are: 8X 8.5GB DVD+R Dual Layer so that looks OK (possibly?) but Toast only gives the speed 4X for this disk.
I think my trouble might be Firmware but just want to eliminate this possible problem. The fact that the manual says 8X for the read speed makes the disks I've bought OK? even though it says 2.4X for write?
TIA,
John.

Thanks for the reply.
Oh that's fine -- so long as they'll work at some speed. I was starting to think that because I had bought 8X speed disks and in the drive's manual it says 2.4X speed for writing to DL disks they weren't going to be compatible. Funny how Toast only gives 4X as the speed for the disk (seeing as 2.4X is the fastest the drive will do for writing to DL disks). I guess it is a firmware problem I'm having then.
Thanks.

  • I can't do color correction. Is this because I have the FCPX trial?

    When I click the arrow next to "Correction 1, " nothing happens. Will it not let me do this because I just have the trial. Or is it just an error of some sort?

    No. The trial copy is full functioning. A bit more info is needed for anyone to answer your question. Please post what is selected, capture screen shots, etc.
    Good Luck

    Yes, its best to have each individual apple ids. You can also go to settings, messages, send and recieve, start new conversation from, make sure there is a check mark beside each of your own individual email, not the same one on each phone.

  • HT1351 I'm trying to manually sync all my music to my iPod touch, but whenever I click the sync button it counts to 5 then stops. Is this because I have to check all 3055 songs individually? If so then I'm quitting with apple as a whole....

    Sync and manually manage are two entirely different things.  You either sync or manually manage.
    Manually manage is drag and drop.
    Sync is when you select what you want and then sync.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

  • NEF "Could not complete your request because it is the wrong kind of document"

    I have just installed Lightroom 12.1 with all current updates on W7 64bit and now cannot open the Nikon D5200 raw (NEF) files. I get the message: "Could not complete your request because it is the wrong kind of document" although they open successfully in Camera RAW on Vista 64bit PC with the same version of Elements. In order to work with them, I have had to convert to DNG and open in Photoshop CS5, which doesn't support D5200 RAW (NEF version).
    This is causing me a serious problem because I need to migrate all of my work to the new W7 system.

    That was the exact wording of the message, and I tried many times with many NEF files; but I just went back to the PC after entering the Forum question and everything works fine. The NEF files open from both my D5000 and the D5200. The pc wasn’t re-booted in the mean time, so I really don’t understand why it works now and didn’t 15 min’s ago!
    I’m sorry to have disturbed you – maybe I should just have gone to lunch and tried again later. – I am a computer specialist/consultant, by the way, so I do know what I’m talking about.

  • Elements 9 saved file "cannot open because it is the wrong type of file"

    I have Windows XP.  I just purchased Photoshop Elements 9.
    I open a raw, tiff or jpg image in Elements 9, make changes to it and then save it as a tiff or jpg.
    About a third of the time the icon for the saved image appears as a file and not a thumbnail of the image in my saved folder.
    When I try to re-open it in Elements 9 I get the message "Cannot open because it is the wrong type of file"
    I never had this problem with Elements 7.
    Please help!
    Mike

    Every camera model has its own raw format, and Adobe can't update the camera raw plug-in until it gets the information from the manufacturer, and the process takes a while. You shouldn't have to wait more than a couple of months for this. In the meantime you can use the manufacturer's software, or try downloading the latest DNG converter to see if it can make DNG files from your camera that will work in ACR.
    Incidentally, you're not talking to adobe here, just to other users like yourself.

  • .RW2 File "Cannot open because it is the wrong type of file" - P.E. 9

    I just got the new Panesonic Lumix DMC-G3 and took some pictures with it today and found that Photoshop Elements couldn't open the pictures because they were the "wrong type of file".  Now the file format is a  Raw .RW2 and I have opened many of them before in the past and they have been just fine! I think it may be that Photoshop isn't updated yet, because I checked and I had no new updates but do any of you have any ideas as to how I could fix this?! (Besides switching to JPEG)
    ADOBE IF YOU SEE THIS PLEASE UPDATE YOUR SOFTWARE SO YOUR CONSUMERS CAN OPEN THE LUMIX DMC-G3'S RAW FILES! THANK YOU!

  • Graphic Card Question - Do I Have the Wrong One?

    I just got my new Pavilion dv7 less then 2 weeks ago. It was just today though that as I was checking around to see how well my laptop could play some games, I find that what I think is the wrong graphic card in my laptop. On the box it says I should have an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470, but when I type dxdiag into Run, it says I have an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator. I'm new to all this, so does my laptop have the wrong graphic card?
    Because according to all this and the System Requirements Lab website, my new laptop is unable to play some games my old laptop could, which had an ATI HD 3200. I'm assuming the HD 5470 should run better, yet it's the one thing keeping me from running many games. Any help at all would be appreciated.
    This question was solved.

    Hey There, what it seems like to me, is you need to download your video drivers from the website. Just go to the Support & Drivers page, put in your product, and download/install the video driver. And That should take care of your issue.

  • I just created my ichat account and it says i have the wrong password

    I just made my ichat account . After i made a user name and password it said i was offline. When i go to switch to online it tells me that i can't login because my password or login ID is incorrect. I went to keychain access and verified my password and lock it in the changes but it still tells me i have the wrong password.

    HI,
    If this was an @mac.com name you made was the password longer than 16 characters ?
    The Apple web site for @mac.com registration encorages longer passwords but they have to be read by the AIM servers and they can only manage a max of 16 characters

  • AIM in ichat not working it says i have the wrong password when i know its right

    why cant i sign in!? i know its the right password because it just worked and now it says i have the wrong id or password

    Hi,
    The most common cause of this is that you are using a Valid Apple ID that is also a Valid AIM Screen Name (ending in @Mac.com or @me.com) but the password is too long for the AIM servers.
    Although Apple have an agreement to allow these forms of Apple ID to be valid AIM Screen Names AIM only manages passwords up to 16 characters.  (Apple encourages you to create longer ones)
    The next one is creating an iCloud issued @me.com names and trying to use it in iChat 5 or earlier as this will not work.
    iChat 6 and Messages Beta also log in to Me.com.  This allows the AIM servers to "see" the password.
    Earlier versions of iChat do not do this Dual Login and therefore AIM cannot access the password.
