And what about the non-finalized disc still playing alright? Any guess how that happens/is possible?

Hi there! Don't really know if this should be posted on Support or General. Excuse me in advance if I should have posted somewhere else. I'm sure if needed admins/mods are able to move the thread. I've started by saying that because my problem is somewhat solved. I got the "Potential 'WaitImmediateIO' Deferred Error - (99%, 0/3) - No Seek Complete" burning a disk. I used to use Verbatin DVD+R media with no problems and today got Ritek F16 discs. Had imgburn set to AWS and this happened. On a second try I throttled the write speed back to 8X and it worked flawlessly. What brings me here is asking why has this happened? Writting speed could have been the cause? Media? What's even weirder, is that the disk, even after apparently failing finalization stills works without problems. Computer reads it fine, DVD player also reads it fine. Shouldn't a non-finalized disk be a glorified frisbie? I'll leave the log so the experts can have a look. I'm using a modified firmware though to set the booktype to -ROM since these burns are for a friend with an older dvd player and since I don't know what it is capable of I wanted to maximize compatibility. It's Liggy's firmware so that shouldn't be a problem I suppose. I 02:45:31 ImgBurn Version 2.5.6.0 started!

The firmware update (1.00 > 1.03) did the trick! Hope this thread may help anyone in the future!

http://img161.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n...mware.jpg"]http://img161.imageshack.us/my.php?image=necfirmware.jpg Got it from Sony-Optiarc website. Well, i'll try again and i'll report here the results! Thanks for the quick answers!

I've read that thread already! This means that with the updated 1.03 firmware (already done that!- haven't tried it though!) i'll have to take a chance with another disc or with +R discs? My wallet is already afraid! Why do companys sell stuff (drives and media) wich aren't reliable to do what they are supposed to? I say this cause i guess there's nothing wrong with my system. Or should i take a look on something that i haven't? I should also add that the image that i tried to burn was a converted (trough PowerIso) *.dmg image. Or would you guys reckon it is time for me to look onto a new drive?

Hi! New to the forum, and new to Imgburn. But unfortunately not new to coasting discs. So, please if you can bare with me a couple of minutes, i'll try to be short and clear. Even though i have this drive for some time now, only today i needed to record a DL DVD. Already knowing about how picky drives can be with this type of media, i bought some Verbatims. Only found -R rated at 4X however. As i hadn't been having problems with Nero lately, i gave it a try. Only to waste 4.50 euros on a coasted disc. It made the lead-in and right after starting the record process it failed. Btw, i was trying to write and iso image to the dvd. Not having interest to ruin another disc i googled around and found that Nero isn't the best application to do such job. And therefore i found Imgburn. Wich made me think that my problems were solved. DVD on the recorder, Imgburn installed, and this time i set it to do a test run first. Wich completed with no problems whatsoever. So, i gave the thumbs up and clicked the button to record. To my despair, once again it failed.
