It is an internal drive in my laptop, so return isn't an option. I have an IO Magic external burner, but it sucks, sometimes recognizes blank discs when it wants to, and even if it does, it is error laden as well during burn. I will try to firmware update and see what happens with the IO Magic. What do you mean by a 'normal' size external burner ? I just want something that works, that isn't picky on disc brand, that will give me a decent copy. What type/brand do you recommend ? Tired of buying discs and equipment that don't work. Thanks for your previous reply.

Went to Firmware web site and this drive currently has no firmware download. I have tried Maxell, Memorex, and Sony -R and +R discs, and the only ones my drive will even recognize are the Sony +R's. Been trying to burn these video clips for weeks now. Have tried using Windows Movie Maker, and DVD Maker, and then tried using NCH Prism file converters and then NCH Express Burn and no luck. So I downloaded IMG and it seemed to be working. Then during actual burn I get I/O error, and I try again, then I get Unable to Recover TOC. It does it right after the lead in, failed to write sectors 3712-3743. I have tried multiple discs in case of a bad one. Someone please help, been trying for 3 weeks to burn.
