Thanks for the reply Cynthia. I have had a look round and have decided to try the Pioneer 116 as per the link Pioneer 116 the only thing I am not fully sure about is the casing. I have seen this one which looks suitable Enclosure However the DVD writer is quoted as being 5.83" wide so surely that doesn't fit into a 5.25" enclosure or am I looking at it wrong? Any more thoughts would be gratefully recieved.

Having just returned a LG I am now on the hunt for a new burner. I'd be grateful for any ideas on what to go for but it needs to be external and ideally good to work with Verbs 8x made in singapore of which I have quite a few left. Will look at any suggestions and would be grateful if you could mention where you got it from if it's not the usual run of the mill place. Must add that I am UK member so would be better suited to buying from a uk source. Thanks

Took it back and got a refund. Thanks for the help and I have started a new thread for burner recommendations if you fancy adding your thoughts. Thanks again.

Tried burning at 8X and it failed. Burn log posted below. Now gonna try at 6X. //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 - Log ; Saturday, 13 June 2009, 11:55:39 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 11:36:03 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started!

Cheers mate. Will go try it now and hopefully be back with some good news in a bit.

Thanks for the suggestion and I'll give it a try. Just to be completely certain I understand what you are saying could you confirm the following statement is what I should do. "Open imgburn via the games .dvd file and attempt a burn at either 8X or 10X and even if I get the same miscompare error coming up ignore it and continue to burn the disc" Also should I run it with verify in case of any other errors that may crop up. Sorry for being a bit cautious but been on here since about 7am and presently working my way through 218 pages on the forums to see if any one else has had the same problem so my brains a bit numb. Plus would it be worth turning off AVG, Zone Alarm and Spy Sweeper while burning this disc or is that asking for trouble?

I am running the latest 2.4.4.0 version of imgburn and attempting to burn Xbox 360 iso's onto Verbatim 8X which are made in singapore. I have been attempting this at a speed of 2.4X on a LG GU20LU10 for the past week without any joy. The burner was only purchased last Sunday (9th June 2009) and it has had the frimware updated to the latest version. I have set my .dvd files to open straight onto imgburn and when I place a disc in and it gives the details this is what appears in the top right box.
