Failed burn on brand new disc?

#1 Post by mazzo » Fri May 22, 2026 10:04 pm

I have been digitising my library as I said in another post. 99.999% of the time, this programme manages to burn everything.

But there have been a handful of dvds that have given me this failure.

(I'm on a Mac if it makes any difference). I can see no damage to the discs, they were brand new from a sealed set.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions on what to do with this.

Cheers!

Assuming by "burn" you actually mean "read", "new in wrapper" basically means "a disk that has sat for months or years absorbing whatever it was packaged with". Any disk released more than 6 months before it was opened probably needs CLEANED. May not look like it, but... the laser in the drive can tell.
