Every dl disc I try comes up with the same info no matter what brand but all single layer discs work fine.

I just got these verbaitum discs a couple of hours ago so I haven't tested them in another pc. Here is a copy of the right panel when I use a standard sony dvd-r disc. HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H54N 1.03 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD-R Disc Information: Status: Empty Erasable: No Free Sectors: 2,298,496 Free Space: 4,707,319,808 bytes Free Time: 510:48:46 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 4x, 8x, 12x, 16x, 18x Pre-recorded Information: Manufacturer ID: SONY16D1 Recording Management Area Information: HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H54N Physical Format Information (Last Recorded): Disc ID: 0@P-!-00 Book Type: DVD-R Part Version: 5 Disc Size: 120mm Maximum Read Rate: Not Specified Number of Layers: 1 Track Path: Parallel Track Path (PTP) Linear Density: 0.267 um/bit Track Density: 0.74 um/track First Physical Sector of Data Area: 196,608 Last Physical Sector of Data Area: 2,495,103 Last Physical Sector in Layer 0: 0 As I said before, I've had no problems with any single layer discs.

I've been using ImgBurn with many brands of dvd+r and dvd-r for a while without any problems. I just recently got a pack of memorex dvd+r dl discs and on the bottom left, I get the "disc not empty"message and in the right pane the disc is being recognized as a dvd+rw. I updated my dvd drive firmware to the latest version I could find but it didn't make a difference. I tried every disc in the package without any luck. Today I got a pack of verbaitum dvd+r dl singapore discs since I read on the forums that these are the best and I'm getting the same message. Here is everything from the right panel on Imgburn. HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H54N 1.03 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD+RW Disc Information: Status: Unknown Erasable: Unknown Formatted: Unknown Sessions: Unknown Sectors: 2,298,496 Size: 4,707,319,808 bytes Time: 510:48:46 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 2.4x TOC Information: Session 1...

Any help would be appreciated.
