A quick search shows that media can be the source of DL burning issues - Is TDK 8x +R regarded as a good choice? - I would have got Verbatim if I had read the post befoer but now I've got the 25 TDK's to use first. The problem I am having is burning from an ISO created with IMGBURN - tried twice and got the following.
The drive is a brand new LG GH22 update to TN03 firmware. I haven't yet tried burning at a slower speed - could this help?
This is the log, any help greatly appreciated!
