UPDATE Today i purchased a Pioneer DVR-218L and now everything works fine. smooth burning with no retries. thanks for all your support.

Yes all my drivers are up to date!..I just think my drive has had its time, i dont want to waste anymore discs!.

When you say "latest chipset" you are talking about motherboard drivers correct? or the latest firmware for the drive?.. Yes, i tried 6x its hit or miss situation, i just think my drive has had it, when i first got it was fine for about 8months, only recently starting acting up...

- I updated IMGBURN to 2.5.2.0 - check drive FW, which is 1.03 (latest version) - set speed to 4x which was optimal - tried from a fresh spindle of discs (verbatim DVD+DL - FAILED AGAIN!. log.txt So im guessing i might as well start looking for a new drive.

Hi, Im very noobish at this stuff. I assume SL is Single Layer discs, if so yes they burn fine, no issues. i have no idea what OPC and where to enable it nor what it does, after some forum search alot of word about booktype, not sure if that does anything???????? @ LIGHTNING UK! - will get on those, and let know how it goes. Thanks everyone for the quick reply. UPDATE: just tried again and it failed!!!...while i was waiting for an reply.

Hello everyone, I usually burn dual layer .ISO files and sometimes i get Power Calibration Area Error or 'WaitImmediateIO' Deferred Error - (99%, 0/3), below is a log of a sucessful burn BUT once it reachs the final stages of the burn it takes a couple of tries before it can complete it. the firmware of the drive is update to and i ONLY use VERBATIM DVD+DL, maybe i need a new drive im thinking...?
