[Error I/O]

check your DMA settings, please read the link I've posted, go to post #2

I uninstalled my IDE controller ( I have XP ) and rebooted. DMA is enabled.

I even re-updated my firmware. Still no luck. Tried one last burn which failed.

 

Given the patchy performance at burning DVD+R DL's with this Sony drive I wonder if its fooked ?

 

I'm going to wait for the next release v1.2.1.0. If that doesn't work my wife's XMas present gets returned.

I tried ImgBurn 1.1.0.0 with the same results. Thanks for all your help btw Ken.

Yes, I could see that in the log, and that's what worries me, this media is only rated at 2.4X yet your drive is reporting 4X and 8X, do you know what your media is rated at?

Verbatim is even sketchy on the speeds. I took the following quote from : Verbatim Website

 

Verbatim DVD+R DL discs burn up to 8X speed with compatible high speed DVD+R DL drives. Saving you about 24 minutes per burn

 

But they seem to contradict themselves in any other literature about DL. Most actually mention 2.4 only.

Are the buffers nice and steady while burning the DL media?

 

Actually the Device buffer is all over the place.

Does it write DVD5's ok?

 

Yes. I've never had an issue with my DVD5s.

Another coaster. Reduced burn speed to 2.4. I haven't changed any settings and I just had a successful burn. Not sure what to think.

I've read through most posts about this. I've updated my firmware. I'm using Verbatim DVD +R DL for media. I made a lot of coasters with DVDD and Nero.......only one successful burn. I recently installed ImgBurn and with a recent firmware update I was able to do a successful burn. I ripped another and burned and got the usual error message:
