Your drive is in PIO mode so read this post on how to solve that problem. I changed my drive back to DMA mode and it is now burning correctly. I guess the problem was PIO mode forcing the burner to burn at an incompatible speed with the Verbatims (1.3x instead of 4x, 8x, etc). Thanks.

Thanks, I'll try that. Is there a problem with the write rate? It seems the max rate is about 1.3x.

Hello, Would anyone be able to help me with this? I am trying to burn some images onto Verbatim DVD+R but I have a success rate of about 1 in 10.
