is that the ONLY reason, the media? It doesn't even start before I get the error >.<. I'd like to try whatever else I can do before I buy another pack of discs

Hey, I am now using my laptop to burn my games and it doesn't seem to be working. I used a program called Nero Infotool to see if my drive can burn dual layer dvd's and the result was positive so that's why I'v been trying to burn on my laptop. I am using a Matshita BD-RE UJ-220 drive. When I try to burn in imgburn, it says "cannot write medium - incompatible format" I don't think it is the media because when I gave my friend one of my discs to burn Dragon Age Origins, it worked for him without a problem. I want ot know if I can do anything about this. Ive tried to look up the problem but I can't get any valid answers so I was oping you guys could help me out. this is the log from 2 tries.

I would have no problem accepting that theory if I wasn't able to burn them using these discs before . I'll admit, I made a few coasters when I used to burn them about a year ago, but after the second try they would pretty much always work, and I'm using the exact same discs I was before. I'll try out the verbatims anyway though, thanks.

I've been trying to download and burn a 360 Game, but I've been unsuccessful every time I've tried. I've wasted about 7 blank discs and I don't know what the problem is. I was told to change my write speed at 2.4x, but I've done this before with 4x about a year ago, before my Xbox got banned. I'm not sure if that is the reason for the problem which is why I'm here. I am using Memorex DVD+R DL Discs and I've tried two different ISO's and 7 total tries. None of them worked. This is the log for the burn. (For the last two tries, I changed the book setting to DVD-ROM, not sure if that matters, this is the log for the last time I tried to burn it)Also, I checked off Verify once, and it stopped at 50% and gave me a message about an I/O Error, not really sure what it is I 17:30:16 ImgBurn Version 2.5.1.0 started!
