Satellite Pro L500 wont burn DVD

I have TWO Satellite Pro L500 laptops with a TSSTCorp TS-L633C DVD-RW Drive. BOTH exhibit the same problem - burning a DVD fails during the finalising process, regardless of what speed you burn at.
Burning CD's works fine.
The blank DVD's burn fine on a Satellite L500D laptop using the HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT20N drive, and also on another Satellite Pro L500 that is using a Pioneer drive.
Both laptops having issues are running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, but nothing else other than the software that comes with the laptop. Both are new straight out of the box. Driver is current version driver, from what I can find out.
Any suggestions? When one laptop showed the problems I thought it may be the drive, but now 2 laptops from totally different stores showing the exact same problem?
Thanks.

The problem is that disabling file verify doesn't resolve the issue as the disc is unreadable after burning.
*I have now solved the issue*
*It seems the TS-L633 drives do not work well with lower speed discs.*
Where EVERY other computer, including a Satellite Pro and Satellite using different drives, will detect the lower speed DVD's and burn appropriately, the TSSCorp drive does not and hence errors due to burning the disc at too high a speed.
The drive worked fine when higher speed discs were used.
Examining the problem discs I believe they were 2x discs, which as stated worked fine in all other computers where the computer detected the lower speed and changed the burn speed to 2x, however the TS-L633 drive would not allow less than 3x burn speed, and tried to burn at 8x. This obviously created a problem!
So, anyone having DVD burning issues with a Satellite laptop using the TSSTcorp TS-L633C drive, try changing the blank media to something capable of higher burn speeds!
Thank you to all that suggested solutions. I have also passed this info along to Toshiba Support as I feel this may be an issue they need to either resolve or note for future users, as there is no doubt slower speed DVD's will be used in these devices!

  • Satellite Pro L875: Cannot burn DVD in Recovery Media Creator and Win 8

    I have a Satellite Pro L875 with Blu-ray Burner.
    I tried to create DVD Recovery disc, the burning process stopped and had error prompt asked me to check if the disc was damaged or scratched. After the burning process, the DVD was not blank and had some data written on it.
    I tried to burn data disc in windows 8. the burner did not start. I only able to add files to the drive.
    I play Blu-ray movies and dvd movies, the blu ray drive was fine.
    I found information about the appropriate dvd disc speed that matched the burner speed.
    How do I know what speed the burner support?
    How to burn DVD or Blu-Ray in windows 8? ( I have looked at Microsoft forum but the solution did not work.)
    It would be great if anyone answer and make the drive burn some discs.

    At first it will be interesting to see why you cannot create recovery discs.
    Have you used empty DVD-R media? If not please use it and buy some high quality product like Verbatim or TDK.
    Is there option to create recovery USB stick?
    Burning under Win8? Have you tried to use some burning applications like NERO?

  • Satellite Pro L500 - Webcam has stopped working

    The built-in Web Camera on my Satellite Pro L500 has stopped working with the following message:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Toshiba\Toshiba Web Camera Application\TWebCamera.exe
    The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.
    The Event log points to microsoft.vc80.openMP.......
    Could someone please tell me how to fix the web Camera. I very rarely use it so I do not know exactly when it stopped working.
    Thanks.

    Thanks to TwoLags & PauPau.
    Yes, I did think @ re-installing the driver but wanted to see what others think about it as I am quite new to Toshiba and was not sure if I could selectively install applications from recovery DVDs.
    Removing the old driver and re-installing the one downloaded from TOSH has solved the problem During the re-install, I noticed it re-install MS Visual C++2005 redistributable. THIS IS THE culprit. This litttle bit of software comes bundled with many apps and I guess this was got installed with one of the new apps that I installed recently and must have messed up the original settings.
    Thank you all, thw WebCam is back in action.

    Hi and welcome to the discussions!
    Google is your friend...
    I found this on a Roxio forum, but it offers the best advice I have seen anywhere about this error.
    Basically, it is most likely the media or the speed you are trying to burn at. It could be a few other things, but those are the most likely culprits.

  • Satellite Pro L500 - Can't install Realtek LAN driver

    Hi All,
    I have recovered a Satellite Pro L500 Windows 7 pro with disc created from notebook, but now can't install a Realtek LAN driver for the notebook.
    The software driver installer dosn't seem to run correctly all the time, have tried several times to install, with only once a realtek "repair" option becoming available.
    When I did manage to install driver I got a error "device failed to start". after recovery I also had problems with a "PCL simple communications controller driver",
    which seems to have been a Intel MEI according to the VEN, DEV info displayed in systems info.
    Are these problems related and how do I Install the required driver in a automated system if the system won't detect the hardware correctly?

    Have downloaded from many sources the correct driver, but the motherboard or the OS is not discovering the network adaptor so even if the driver is installed the divice is not recognised as being there(physically installed). when installing the driver software i get the error from the realtek installer "Realtek network controller was not found. If in deep sleep mode is enabled please plug the cable". have no idea what or how deep slee is enabled and have reset bios settings to default and have reset cmos.

  • Satellite Pro L500 - no licence for Toshiba Bluetooth Stack

    Do hope someone can help me. I am going round in circles.
    On 8th Nov 2010 I purchased online from Toshiba the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (Premium Edition) for my Toshiba Satellite Pro L500 so that I could use my existing (non-Toshiba) dongle. This has been working fine until a couple of months ago.
    Thinking that the dongle had packed up I bought another one.
    However, although I know that this one is working I have been unable to get this to work on my Toshiba laptop as I keep getting the following error message from the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack as follows:
    "Thank you for evaluating the Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba. The evaluation period has now expired. Please obtain a license for this version of Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba."
    This seems to imply I have come to the end of a free evaluation period but I haven't as I purchased the full license in 2010. I have tried various things but I can't seem to get past this. I'm not a computer boffin but I can reasonably find my way around a laptop. Can anyone please, please help me?

    Hi there. Apologies for the delay in replying.
    I did try reinstalling, but in then searching the Toshiba Bluetooth Portal under "news" (here is the link http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=news ) it says:
    "2011-12-21 TOSHIBA Bluetooth Stack for users without TOSHIBA hardware isn't available anymore"
    I'm taking that to mean I can only use a Toshiba bluetooth dongle for it to work. Assuming I am reading it right I am really unhappy about this as I paid 25.90 at the Toshiba Online Store just over 12 months ago for the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack Premium Edition and have had no warning about this suddenly happening.
    Have it got it right? Would really appreciate a reply.

  • Satellite Pro L500-19X boots ok but touchpad and keyboard fail

    Satellite Pro L500-19X running windows 7.
    The machine boots ok, then at the login screen neither the touchpad or keyboard works.
    The only way I can overcome this is to go back to a previous restore point.
    After this, the machine runs fine until I power off, on powering up again, I get the same issue.
    The machine has the latest updates applied.
    Any pointers welcomed.

    Hi lfc1892,
    Have you tested external input devices? Maybe your internal devices are faulty and must be replaced. In this case the external input devices should work properly! :)
    Furthermore you should follow the instructions posted by Dr.Lamp. Check this also in safe mode and in BIOS. In worst case you have to reinstall Windows

  • DVD Studio Pro will not burn DVD in Lacie D2 External DVD Burner

    I ordered a new pack of DVD's. These are the Beall 16x DVD's I bought from Meritline.com. I had been using the 8x Beall's with no problem. I was told that my interal drive was not compatable with the faster burning DVDs. So I bought a LaCie D2 External DVD burner 16x. I still can't burn a dvd in dvd studio pro. I tried Patchburn. It said that this burner is already supported.
    I am using DVD Studio Pro 2.
    Any ideas?

    Have you tried burning on other types of brands when burning to your external LaCie? My company bought a NEC external DL burner and it only worked with some type of discs, Maxell DVD+R DL worked but Traxdata DVD+R DL and some other Noname disc didnt work, maybe try that?

  • Out of the Box MacBook Pro does not burn DVD DL

    Hi
    My new out of the Box MacBook Pro 2,8 Ghz, 500 GB HD does not burn DVD DL.
    Its telling me something like "Servo Error" in Toast 10.0.4 and also iTunes with a big playlist in DataDVD burn mode does not get the job of burning a DVD DL done.
    It makes me soooo sad.
    I had problems with my DVD Drive on my Power Book G4 12", also on my MacBook 2,16 Ghz even after a repair it would not burn DVD DL.
    So what to do?

    Hi
    Thanks for the tips.
    Well since its a absolutely new MacBook Pro it should burn DL as stated on the Box. So I call the store and they will sent me a new one.That worked very nice and smoothly, so here on costumer care apple is on the very big side.
    I hope the new one will burn em right away.
    You know: Why do they put such bad drives in their so nicely build MacBooks? I don't get it at all. Maybe we are short before Bluray and so they putting inn all the old drives.... Who knows.
    Its well know that apple is not using very good drives in their computers.
    Na ja so ist es halt.
    Keep the good work up!
