burnyo

I checked and the firmware was up to date. So, after burning 5 TDK DVDs failed (at the same %), I went out and bought Pro4Media's (I've never heard of them) DL DVD since I couldn't find another one. Burning the same data to this DVD succeeded without any problems which means that TDK's DVDs were bad.

I have PHILIPS SPD2414T and I bought TDK DVD+R double layer discs (I know Verbatim is the best, but I couldn't find any DL Verbatim discs). I tried burning the same movie in DVD format a couple of times, but every time it would stop before reaching 30%. I've tried different writing speeds. It works fine with single layer DVDs and CDs. This is the first time I'm trying to burn any kind of double layer disc. I just want to make sure what is the problem - ImgBurn, DVD burner or TDK's discs.
