Ghozer Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Depending where they are bought from they may have copy protection / DRM which (in some cases) prevent burning them to CD - otherwise - try burning at a lower speed (4 or 8 is best) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faulty CD/DVD burner, or disks are not compatible with it. Try burning some files/photos to CD, and see if they show up on your computer.

Hiya, i tried to burn a photo onto a new blank cd...it got to 99% then said it encountered a problem and could not finish...does this mean the discs are faulty.? does that happen?

banjodeano Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Thanks..How do i change the speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghozer Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Thanks..How do i change the speed It varies slightly between different software - but there's usually an option either Just after you press the "Burn" button (where you can choose various settings) or it will be in the main settings for the software you are using.

banjodeano Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 try at 4x speed, it will take a while but should work - cheap disks sometimes only work on 8x or 4x speed ok, i tried it on the lowest bitrate, and set the speed to 10x which was the lowest it would go....it checked all the music and i put a new disc in to burn..when it started to burn, it original said 52 mins to go, then after a few seconds it said under a minute to go....then ended about a minute later.....and of course it didnt burn and was still blank....i will try again with a different burner...i used ashampoo this time.........argggggghhhhhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
