Hi Lightning UK, Thank you for the informative response. I so enjoy your software, it's the BEST! I tried both of your suggestions, for which I thank you, as well. Did the firmware update and reduced the speed, to no avail. Now 3 more coasters so it must be the media. What I find really odd is that I have a bunch of this media remaining and while using discs from each of the cake boxes, all so far have become coasters! I am assuming this is an issue of dye lots, correct?
Regarding the speed, I confess to never burning at a lower speed, I have always used 16x, has that been wrong of me?
Because this was so sudden, I am wondering if this issue has anything to do with my drive itself, perhaps it needs to be cleaned for example?
As for the Verbatim/Taiyo Yuden media you suggested, would you be able to suggest which I should use and the best retailer from whom I should order? Is there a DVD+R 16x for both in boxes of 50 and 100?
Again, thank you for your assistance, it's VERY much appreciated!
