Windows 10: dual layer discs no longer burn after Win 10 20h2 upgrade

Hi,

I can no longer burn dl discs. I am not sure how long this problem has been
for me, but I found out about it when trying to make a disc for win10 20h2.
It appears to fail at the time when the process is starting to turn the
corner to start the second layer.

I have 2 burners. A LG HL-DT-STBD-REWH14NS40 and a DVD burner that is listed
in Device Manager as ATAPIiHAS224 B. I have tried both thinking that perhaps
the first one had seen better days. Same results with the second burner. I
used IMG burn with both of them. Then I tried using Roxio Creator with both,
them I tried using the win10 built in burner. No joy. Thinking that I
perhaps had a bad download,I redownloaded the MCT. Same problem. Then I
tried a large file that I had and still the same problem.

Previously I have burned many dl discs with nary a problem

Am running Win10 20h2 fully updated with Windows defender only.

:)

 

How do I know if I can burn a dual layered dvd on my computer

If you have a CD burner that can burn a dual layer CD, then you can burn a dual layer CD.

However, burning CDs is a legacy technology. Hardly anyone does that any more, and particularly dual-layer CDs, since there are few industry standards for dual layer discs. Today, people use USB flash drives, which are much less expensive and virtually effortless.

 

burning discs windows 10

This is a crazy situation. I have spent the last four hours trying to burn photos onto a CD in Windows 10 Explorer, using the steps shown above. After clicking on "burn disc", for about two seconds I see a bar indicating rapid progress, followed by nothing!
I finally tried a right mouse click and a menu comes up with "burn disc" on it. Lo and behold, after clicking on that, a CD is actually burned! Turns out that you don't need to "Share - Burn" just do the right click - but the first guy on this topic evidently
couldn't even do that.

 

Burning photos to a CD Disc

Hi Jimmy,

We suggest that you use Windows Media Player to burn the images. Please follow the steps below:

• Open Windows Media Player.
• In the Player Library > Burn tab > select
  Burn options.
• Choose Audio CD or Data CD or DVD.
• Insert a blank disc into your CD or DVD burner. (Select the drive you want to use if your PC has more than one CD or DVD drive)
• Search for the items in your Player Library that you want to burn to the disc, and then drag them to the list pane (on the right side of the Player Library) to create a burn list.
• When you're finished with the list, select Start burn.

Note: If necessary, click the Clear list button to remove all items from the previous burn list.

Let us know how it goes.
