i was playing an backup Zelda: Twilight Princess and the disc cant be read appear. wuts the problem? im using an hp dvd-r.

 

Also, what did you use to burn the image? and at what speed? You should use Nero and burn at the high speed; ie if it is 8X DVD-R, then burn at 8X

 

New kids ... sheesh!

Verbatim DVD+R 16x are pretty much unanimously decided to be the best media so far. But try some others, as the Wii isn't super picky.

Burn at the recommended speed for that media.

And finally -- VERIFY the disc after you burn it. The verify option is in ALL burning programs, and I don't understand why more people don't do it. It takes an additional 10 minutes, but you know if the image was burned properly. Then you can eliminate that.

On a side note -- if you change burners and media but still get verification errors -- check you system's memory. My RAM was bad and it was causing bad burns.

 

using nero 6.0, the write speed was at 4x. the hp dvd-r is 16x. would the verbatim 8x dvd-r be a good choice to get?

 

you can verify the disc?? what burner do you have? i use a nec 3500, and after the burn, the disc is unreadable by the computer.

 

that's what I use. it just sits there for a long time and then errors out.

 

You first said you use Nero 6.0, then you say you used IMG Burn. Pick one.

And by pick one, I mean go download IMG Burn (just Google "imgburn"). Make sure the "Verify" box is ticked, and burn.

If you're gonna go buy a drive, get the Pioneer DVR1112 from NewEgg, about $30.
