Will try that. Thanks!

I changed the write speed to 4x and it burned successfully. But then when I put the disc in my home DVD player I get a disc loading error and it won't play. Here's the log from that one. Thanks for any suggestions. I 22:07:26 Average Verify Rate: 339 KB/s (0.2x) - Maximum Verify Rate: 11,230 KB/s (8.1x) I 22:15:47 Operation Started! I 22:15:47 Building Image Tree...

Trying to burn a dual-layer and am getting an I/O error during verification. I am using Verbatim DVD+R DL 8x discs and I'm assuming that I have a lousy drive (Matshita DVD-RAM UJ-862) because I saw elsewhere on the forum that the slimline's are "rubbish". Before I spend on a new drive I'm asking you to take look at my log in case it's something easier/less expensive like updating firmware or writing at a different speed. I'll also try cleaning the drive before investing in a new one. I'm brand new to this process and appreciate the product, the guides and the support. Thank you.
