Nullsoft Burner Error : Wrong Media Type

samsaunt · 20th September 2006, 02:14

I have been using Verbatim discs to burn audio cd's from winamp for about 6 months now, they are the lightscribe discs that you can burn the labels onto. I have burned about 12 or 14 discs, all out of the same 30 pack, and burned 6 cd's in one day using these discs, then got the following message (about 5 minutes after I had successfully completed a burning, using winamp and the same type discs):

"Drive E contains wrong media type

Required: Blank or Open Recordable CD disc with at least 81 minutes of free time.

Detected: CD-R, Non Erasable Disc
Free: 79 min, 702 MB
Used: 0 min, 0 MB
Blank Disc

Blank Recordable or Rewritable disc"

I have uninstalled and re-installed, I have changed my output preferences, I have searched the forum for 2 days, and cannot get this error fixed. I have tried different discs, and cannot find audio cd's longer than 80 min. I have also tried multiple discs from the same package in winamp, thinking maybe I got one or two bad ones, but none of them will work. The discs are not defective, I have used them in other media players, however, I prefer Winamp and it's features.

Can anyone HELP?!?!?

Thank you!!

How long is what you are trying to burn? Make sure it is less the 79 minutes in length.

Its too long. You need to shorten the CD. Remember that on an 80 minute CD, the TOC(table of contents) needs to be written first. This takes up some space. Check these links for more info:

You guys are awesome!!! I really appreciate it...the burner was showing I was under the time limit, but I guess I still had a little too much on there...I took off a song, and it went smooth as silk!!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
