Error with cache data?

Post by koberulz »

i am burning a dual layer dvd-r disc using moviefactory five. i first made a .iso on the hard drive, then used that to burn to the dvd. at the end of the burn it said something about an error writing cache data. the dvd plays fine, except for the second layer, which does not work. what's the deal?

OK lets look at what we know so far.
You have made an ISO file. This is a disk image file on the Hard Drive
"btw, it doesnt work with a computer either. it displays the same error"
This is ambiguous
By this do you mean
1. The Disc you attempted to burn doesn't play
2. Somehow you are trying to play the ISO file with some DVD playing software

If you wish to play a DVD from a Hard Drive folder you don't create an ISO file, instead at the burn stage you should burn to a hard drive folder.

Without answering this point it is guesswork trying to determine if there is a problem with your DVD Writer, the DVD Disc itself, A fault with your computer hardware or a software issue.

Have you checked your Windows XP Pro Event viewer for error messages
Event Viewer maintains logs about program, security, and system events on your computer. You can use Event Viewer to view and manage the event logs, gather information about hardware and software problems, and monitor Windows security events.

To open Event Viewer

• Click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Event Viewer.

"Faulting application dvdmf.exe, version 5.0.0.0, faulting module afsimpbkmenu.dll, version 1.0.0.0, fault address 0x000084c9."

and my comment about a computer was continuing your suggestion to get a computer, cuase my profile said i didnt have one. anyway:

*made project
*burnt iso to confirm burn would work
*used the "burn from disc image" option to burn iso straight to dvd
*only first layer of dvd plays

and the event viewer comes up with the quote above.

Possible causes:
1. Attempting to write at too high a burn speed.
I have a 16x DVD writer and use 8x DVD-R discs. I have found that if I burn at speeds higher than 4x then disc is unreliable. It will play correctly in some standalone DVD players and no others.
Burn at 4x (or less) and the discs play OK in every standalone player they have been tried in.

2. Faulty Disc.
I purchase my discs in bulk - several hundred at a time. You do get a few duds in amongst them.

3. Fingermarks or other dirt on the disc surface.

4. Firmware.
There may be updated firmware available for your DVD burner. Check the website of your DVD manufacturer. Firmware is software inside the DVD burner to make it work. Its a bit like the BIOS of your computer.

5. Corrupt installation of DVD MF5.
Do you have other DVD burning software such as Nero, CopytoDVD etc and are able to try burning your iso image with that. This will help isolate the problem as belonging to MF5 in which case you can either try running the installation program again and selecting the "repair" option or you can follow our guidelines to uninstall/re-install as outlined in this post:

6. I made a search of the Microsoft Search and support Knowledge base but it does not list your error
0x000084c9
Again check the windows Event Log:-
START | RUN dialog box
%SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc /s
and press enter.
Now check the following two folders
Application
System

You will find a red circle witha white cross inside. Double click to open it and there you will find a link
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
This link also contains some hidden code apertaining to your error.
Double click and you will then be given more detailed information and possible cures.
