Dynex discs are cheap ones and can be a bit of hit and miss. True Verbatims is a better card. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Turn-automatic-updating-on-or-off Tells you how to enable the auto update of Windows. A higher burn/write speed might work better as suggested before.

2.4x is the only available option and as that one doesn't work, your option is to get some better quality discs, like Verbatims.

Or you could try to flash it to a Benq DW1640. To see if that flash tool works. http://club.myce.com/f92/flash-phillips-dvd8701-benq-dw1640-268524/

Tried to restart the computer again?

I'm gone.

It errors out with that error during a burn. Bur I haven't seen it much the latest year and non of the caddies I bought have had it. Much more common for 5-7 years ago.

If your computer has a USB 2.0 port, no need for a SATA internal card. Only drawback with some caddies is that they might create a semaphore time out issue. Only way to know is to buy a pig in a poke.

A very low price. That's nice. I have my Optiarc 7260 mounted in a similar one and no issues here.

Two free ones without issues/warnings. http://www.dvdfab.com/virtual_drive.htm http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html

The small file usually only contains the layer break position of the image/disc and a reference to the big (iso) file that should be loaded and burned. So yes, you selected the right one. This time your drive reports the right size of an empty DL disc. IMHO the real issue here is that your burner doesn't like the brand of media you are using. I would try with some Verbatims.

It's going to be changed when the burn is finished. Try with some better quality discs. Ritek based media is a hit and miss. The drive is also reporting an odd sector size for the disc. Should be Sure it was a new unused disc?

Are those discs genuine JVC ones? Or some rebadged ones?

8x also errors out?

Ask the seller. If your player supports both format (+/-) try with the other one.

If all of the supported speeds give you the error, I would try with some Verbatim AZO discs (avoid the Chinese).

Tried another write speed? Any log you can post?

Try Windows NT or 2000 in the settings in Wine.

Tried another write speed like 8x?

Should work without issues. A bit old, but if it's not been used before it's ok.

Should work if it has the same write strategies as mine. Did a test burn (same DL media as you use) with mine and it went without issues at 3x (lowest possible speed).

I don't have a xbox. 2.4x as recommended speed is an urban myth.

The one I have that is pretty much the same, burns the Verbatims DLs. Not great, but ok.
