So close, yet .... Thank you for your good advice. I re-flashed the drive again, first back to stock 451S ( not sure if that was necessary or not), then flashed to CG5M firmware. I did take the unit apart and clean the lens with denatured alcohol and a microfiber optical cloth. While reassembling, I switched the burner to master and the CD burnig unit to slave. Within imgburn, I also increased the buffer size from 20MB to 80MB. I thought it was going to go through, but not quite. Any suggestions from the attached log?

Help Please! I have successfully burnt several iso images to single layer DVDs (old Fujifilm DVD-R 4x)with my cross-flashed Lite-On 451S DVD R/RW. The information I recieved with the flash indicated that my drive would act as a Lite-on 432S and would then support double layer burning. I tried 2 different burns of a 7.8G iso using Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x blanks resulting in the same write error. The first burn I ran at 2.4, the second at 6x with the exact same result. Is this flashed drive really capable of DL burning? I will provide the firmware flash details below and the Imgburn log below it.
