OK. So I borrowed a standard recorder from friend (LG), and it is practically the same thing: I 17:15:05 ImgBurn Version 2.5.6.0 started!

I use Verbatims, and they are not so cheap. Another RW does not solve the problem.

Sorry, my mistake. Never had encounter with this kind of hardware If I decide to just buy an external DVD recorder: are there any reliable models (that would be affordable)?

Thank you very much for you responses. For example, maybe these two will be fine for my purposes? http://www.varle.lt/#!/kietieji-diskai-hdd/deklai-hdd-diskams/patriot-gaunlet-25-aluminum-usb30-external-enclosure-47282.html http://www.varle.lt/#!/kompiuteriu-komponentai/optiniai-irenginiai/optiarc-opti-7280s-dl-dvdrw-24x-sata-black.html I'm sorry for the Lithuanian language in them, I just made a quick searh in nearest shops.

OK, I will buy another pair of Verbatims and try to burn them at x3 speed. Do you think it is mainly a problem of DVD writer? Maybe some suggestions about the affordable-but-still-ok device? I'm using a DELL inspiron laptop, so not quite sure if all kinds of DVD recorders would work with it.

Hello everybody. Yesterday I was trying to burn DVD +R DL discs (bought an XBOX recently...) and was really frustrated. Firstly, program (my drive) did not recognized the ACME discs. I bought Verbatims (8x DVD +R DL) and tried to burn them. Luckily, one of the two I bought was recognized... but. The burning process was terminated shortly after the start with a message "Set L0 Data Zone Capacity Failed! - Reason: Timeout on Logical Unit". Can I try to do something with my drive/program/firmware? Or should I just buy another dvd writing device? My DVD writer is PLDS DVD+- RW DS-8A5SH, firmware XD13 (ATA).
