Update your burner's firmware (remove any disc and close the tray before updating then reboot the computer after the updater is finished) and try again. You could also try burning at 4x instead of MAX (8x in your case). Thanks for advice Have updated firmwire, bought new Verbatim discs and lowered speed to 4x, but still no joy!
