Any recommendations for price quality ratios on external writers ? Havent looked into that since my 2 speed cd rom burner lol (rest of the computers always came with one equipped in it)

Well i Bought the verbatim 2,4 speed and again same Problem. Dont think there is a big difference between verbatim 030 or 010. As when im at the office they (8x 030) work fine on the desktop and i can burn at max speed with no errors. No when i burn it on my sony vaio laptop 90% of the time i get a fail . here is the log of the new dvd's with same error I 17:53:48 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started! I 17:53:48 Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition (6.0, Build 6001 : Service Pack 1) I 17:53:48 Total Physical Memory: 2,094,792 KB - Available: 918,284 KB I 17:53:48 Initialising SPTI... I 17:53:48 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices... I 17:53:48 Found 2 DVD-ROMs and 1 DVD

I dont Get it. Why does only veratim 2,4 work (dont have em yet). Seems like all the other cd manufactures should go out of business, and that just doesnt make sense. Cant understand how something can work prefectly fine, but later in time under the exact same circumstances fail 100% of the time. How can u make other cd's of so called lower quality also work ? or cds with higher speeds on them. Cant some1 build a better lens or burner or better software? Its doing my head in. Used to be alot more easy when things were alot more low quality compared to know (thinking of ps1 games )

Thanks for your quick reply, ill go to the store in a bit and pick some mkm-001-00 dye ones (if i can find them , last week i had to go past 6 stores to finaly find verbatim dl+ , i was so happy i finally got dual layer) Btw i have burned, gears of war 2, fallout 3, fable 2, far cry 2, motogp08, fracture and two others. But since yesterday, my laptop just isnt doing it. EDIT: LMAO its burning, this is so random with these MKM-003-00. Just put in a new one at put the speed at 8 (as u recognized it was 8 speed verbatim, nice1 ). I dont expect this has solved this issue as i have been able to burn game before. Guess the dvd wont work once u get the l0 capacity and with 003 u need to get lucky to burn sort of. Ill post the logg when its done EDIT 2: LOG FILE; I 11:59:20 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

Ive got Very similar Problems. Also read all the Forums and been working on this now for 2 weeks. First i was using platinum dvds untill i read i might aswell through em away and go for Verbatim. Which i now have Verbatim DL +R 2.4 speed and still im getting alot of problems. Its really annoying this L0 capacity stuff. Kind of losing hope for a solution here is the log (tried the different speed thing also didnt work, btw on 2,4 speed same problems) I 11:24:20 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!
