Help Request ConvertXtoDVD Kills My Recordable DVDs

[RobertX]

Recently, when I put in DVDs when burning stuff on ConvertXtoDVD, it says:

BURN WRITE FAILED: Can't find write strategy at sector 16
BURN: Write error at 246480(16) - Code 052102 [Illegal request, Invalid address for Write.].

What's wrong?

is your burner ide or sata?

[RobertX]

It's IDE, but I don't think it's the problem; the burner has been operating without problems with the same make until now.

[bob5695]

It's IDE

go to control panel → device manager → open the IDE controllers → right-click the dvd burner and select properties → on advanced tab check if it's DMA or PIO. should be DMA. if it's PIO, that might just be where your problem is coming from.

edit - and yes, it works fine until windows change from DMA to PIO by itself...

2nd edit - i don't know if i used all the right words as they show in english versions of windows 'cause mine is in portuguese...

[RobertX]

It doesn't say if it's PIO or DMA.

Attempting to use the other DVD-R drive that I have to burn stuff.

also keep in mind convertx is a video converter app. best burning results are always achieved with a proper burning app.
