DVD-RAM discs troubles win10, the discs will not eject, stay spinning in windows 10

Hi sdowney717,

In order for us to identify what might be causing this problem with your DVD-RAM discs, allow me to ask the following details:

• What build and version of Windows 10 is your computer on? To check, just type in
  winver in Cortana search and hit Enter.
  
• Did you only use one application in burning DVDs? What burning software were you using?
• If you leave your DVD drive burn a disc, how long does it take to finish?

In the meantime, please try ejecting the disc from within Windows. Just open
File Explorer, right-click on your DVD drive, then select Eject from the drop down menu.

Looking forward to your reply.

Regards.

 

DVD-RAM discs troubles win10, the discs will not eject, stay spinning in windows 10

Hi, yes, I am attempting to eject using the right click menu, it will not eject.

Version is 1709 build is 16299.309

I am simply using windows file manager built in burning.

It took maybe 15-20 minutes to burn a 2gb file.

I verified that file was burnt properly to the DVD-RAM disk by testing it on a linux PC.

This problem is ONLY existing on DVD-RAM discs, which have that UDF file system.

DVD+RW behavior is normal.

The drive remains active once it begins burning any file to a DVD-RAM disc, the laser will not shut off, the spindle motor continues to spin.

Ejecting by using a paper clip is only way to remove the disc, and the drive still continues to run, laser is on, spindle motor is on. PC can not shut down, I have to unplug it from the wall and reboot after burning a DVD-RAM disc.

The DVD-RAM discs are made by Fuji Film.

I also run ubuntu linux and the discs do work as expected, meaning they can eject after burning a file.

I have erased some DVD-RAM in file manager, then tell it to format and function like a USB drive, the disk will spin up fast and I can write and read files from it, but it will never power down. Telling it to eject gives me an error. No matter how long
I wait, the disk will spin like mad forever.

Other DVD-RAM discs, I did not format, just start writing files, they write and I can read from the disc, but again the discs refuse to be ejected.

I also sought help on 10forums

PATA DVD Drives do not burn RW or RAM discs

I have a weird issue with all my drives.
I have:-
Lite-On 20x DVD RW
ASUS 16x DVD RW
LG 16x DVD RW

All recognized as RAM drives but none of them burn on to DVD RW or DVD RAM properly.

Would this be to do with the discs or the drives themselves.

I have been using Sony DVD-RW discs and DVD-RAM discs to no avail.
