thank you, I think it will have to be new discs... since the drive is still burning single layer dvds with no problems at all.

Yawn. Change your blanks to Verbatim MKM-001s. Even the slightest search would have led you to this conclusion. Regards so all the other zillion dl dvds that i burnt which were not verbatim, and are working fine was me being lucky????? i read the other posts and the recommendations for verbatim.

The write process succeeds on both the layers and then it starts to verify. Imgburn fails every single time it tries to verify layer1.
