I updated my SATA drivers and tried a couple of burns at MAX (avg 5.6X, Max 10X). Verified and played in the 360 no problem. I'm not going to push my luck with MAX, I'll lock it down to 4X, but I just wanted to report back that I think all is well. Thanks!

Thanks. I'll try both of those and report back.

I spent a few minutes googling this and had no luck. Wanted to throw this out there for some opinions: Short version: Burner: Brand New Pioneer DVR-S18MBK with latest Firmware. Media: Verbatim DVD+R DL (MKM-003-00) (Unfortunately not the 2X) I've been able to successfully burn 2 of my backups so far. It always has this error when starting, but continues anyway.

What's interesting is that it still plays in my 360. Any thoughts? Is this a non-issue?
