Problem for Samsung (SH-S162L/BEBN) DVD RW Burner

Sh-s202 dvd writer recognises DVDs to play, but not to burn onto.

By ianmcquaid on Mar 17, 2009

" "

the drive has written to dvd in the past, now when I put in a blank DVD the dialogue box asking me what I want to do with a blank CD, rather than a blank DVD, comes up. If I try and burn anything it refuses to. The drive is still burning CDs fine ! Help! I really need to get a DVD burned for a presentation tomorrow

- cheers for the quick response. I just managed to burn a data dvd using itunes, but this isnt much help to me, as I need to burn a playable DVD. Any idea why it would burn from itunes, but not elsewhere ? Im just trying to reinstall the nero software now..

Try using a quality dvd lens cleaner. Run it a cycle or two of cleaning then retry the dvd. If it works it was just a dirty laser. If this doesn't correct the problem then it might be a dvd optics issue. Hope this helps.

- Is it burning video from itunes or just music? If it's just the music then the issue could still be a dirty or misalligned dvd laser. You really should run a cleaner before reinstalling the software as it could just be a matter of a dirty lens like you'd find on a home dvd player after alot of use.
