Look at the error message: your drive doesn't support that media. Not to mention that uses a known low quality dye. Please read this post: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=8000 According to Plextor this drive supports all double layer discs +R and -R

I have been trying to burn a dual layer disc -R (Phillips) using a Plextor PX-800A. I have been sucessful using Phillips brand DL +R but needed something more compatible with relatives players as the +R's won't play in them. I've been using Nero 6 with the +R disc's without a problem. Thought the software couldn't handle the -R's so I upgraded to version 9. Their software doesn't work either and that's is why I'm trying Imgburn.... Here is my log file: I 15:08:01 Operation Started! I 15:08:01 Building Image Tree... I 15:08:04 Checking Directory Depth...
