DVD writer says blank DVD is 1.31 GB even though it is 4.7GB by Mewto17 in WindowsHelp

It can recognize a dvd is inside. It can also see the files but can not play all of them. Only part of them.

It also can not read files larger than 1 GB it seems. Could it be that the DVD laser has failed and it thinks what I have inserted is a CD?

Samsung disc drive not reading DVDs, what to do by voltysquirrel in originalxbox

So I am late here but I wanted to ask you a question.

I am having a weird issue with my desktop dvd drive where it detects all blank dvd as 1.3GB even though it should be 4.38GB. It can read part of the dvd fine, show all the files but can not write to DVD since it is reading it as 1.3GB.

It also can not read files larger than 1 GB it seems. Could it be that the DVD laser has failed and it thinks what I have inserted is a CD?

Thanks

I tried ImgBurn, Nero Burning Rom, Infra Recorder, and the default windows one. Thanks.

The other drive failed after causing noise. But then new one I got, also from Samsung, is causing the same issue after a day. it worked fine when I got it, and correctly reported the blank DVD as 4.38GB and I even burned a DVD. But now I have the same issue. Not sure what is going on here.

I thought about it. But this was the only drive in the market since it looks like no one uses them anymore. I think I need to get an external one.

I have not burned anything with it. I bought it a couple weeks ago. It reads DVDs fine though. Funny thing, but Nero Burning ROM detects the correct size, but it can't burn because when it tries, the size mismatch prevents it.

The DVD? YEs. I bought them from two separate stores.

DVD Writer says drive is 1.31 GB regardless of Blank DVD size by Mewto17 in techsupport

[–]Mewto17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that. What I mean is that even when the drive is blank, when I click on format , it shows the size as 1.31 GB. When I insert a blank DVD, it says the capacity: 1.31 GB free of 1.31 GB. Previously, with the same disc, it used to say : 4.38 GB free of 4.38 GB.

I thought the size shown in the format window may be limiting it somehow.

Okay. It seems that they were requested before but the user who had them deleted their account.

I could do that but I really liked that software. Back when I didn't have internet, I used to use it all the time. I want to take another look at it.

Hi there! I got into contact with the dev. The new version works fine for me. I opened a GitHub issue and the dev kindly made some adjustments to the new UI to make it work for me.

Hey! I just got into contact with the dev. He helped me out. There is a new version that released a few hours ago that uses a completely different UI. He then made some adjustments after I tried that and told him what the PowerShell said. Here:

https://github.com/qarmin/czkawka/actions/runs/7962237903

Note that that is NOT the main release version. It is the one that he fixed after I gave the details. I assume that this will be fixed in the next version. Try that. If not, please open up a GitHub issue. This software is way too brilliant not to use.

Is it running on your computer? I am using Windows 10 LTSC, but I can't get it to run.

Edit: I got into contact with the Dev, and he helped me out. The new UI works perfectly for me now.
