Update ImgBurn.

 

Try burning at 4x or 6x, and when that doesn't work, please read this: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000

That's the write process, not the read process.

I updated imgburn and tried to write at 2X, but still no success. Here is my new log file

Those logs both show you burning a 'MAX' still.

 

I 14:12:26 Write Speed: MAX

 

Whilst the discs might be branded by TDK, they still use the same 'RITEK' dye that loads of other brands do (i.e. they're no better than anything else using that same dye)

You must at least try with some decent Verbatim DL media before we can conclude the issue is with the media or your drive.

 

Basically there are 4 things you still need to try:

 

1. Burning at a different speed (4x or 6x)

2. Burning better discs - Verbatim 2.4x if possible, otherwise the Verbatim 8x ones.

3. Cleaning the drive.

4. Replacing the drive.

Excellent support. Thank you again.
