I have not gotten to the cleaning disc part yet. But I have a hunch that the problem lies in my drive. So, I went out and tried to get an Pioneer and Asus external burner(USB connection. However, I got the Sephamore timeout has expired or something like that. There were no cure for that. Is there nay suggestion for a good consistent external burner? I'm using a lappy so my choice is limited to USB #39;(. An one more thing, my drive used NuTech firmware instead of NEC. I got Invalid command operation Code error when I used NEC tab in booktype. Editted: I just bought a Sony Optiarc AD-7240S and stuck it in an external enclosure. Worked like a charm. Guess the problem lies in my drive. Laptop burners are kinda shady.

Hi, I have been trying to burn using my Optiarc multi drive but it does not work. I always get an unsuccessful verification or a half-way burn( at both 2.4x and 4.0x). I used correct booktype, DVD from Verbatim MKM-003. I always get successful burn with my girlfriend's laptop, which is a HP multi-drive. I've read the post for burning DL DVDs posted by Lighting UK!, updated my drive firmware. I also noticed alot of HDD activity going on compared to my girlfriend's laptop during burns. The writing LeadIn time is also kind of longer (about nearly a minute before device buffer starts). I could only get 2 good burns out of 12. here is the log: I 22:22:17 ImgBurn Version 2.5.1.0 started!
