The DRU-700a only supports 2.4x on DL disks. Time for an upgrade I guess! This is VBs URL for the ones that I bought http://www.verbatim.com/products/product_d...FB35571D951F627

zacoz, I always burn just under the rated speed. ESPECIALLY in this case since I was having problems. Did try the clean and was unsuccessful. Any feedback/issues w/Disc ID: MKM-003-00? These are 8x VB DL.

thx polopony...thats seems to make sense cause its burned over 1k cd/dvds. Only thought though is that I still continue to burn DVD-Rs no prob(10-12 since initial post). Is DL burner another science?? re: Clean, will try that also. Also since this drive (Sony DRU-700a) has been a blessing, is it safe to say to get current generation of this drive or is there better?? Thx all for help and feedback, Iron

Got the VBs and the latest errors....total write fail. Final error-out dialog and log.

Yes it is...but these are Sony's though. The VBs should be in any day. I figured Sony drive > Sony DVDs should work right ... NOT! I just have this feeling that I will get same results with VBs and that this is pointing to hw/drv.

OK Here is the fail that I get.... http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/iron...ImgburnProb.jpg

Thx mj for getting back ... am already looking for them and should have this wkend...will post result. Any spectulation if still the same ... gut feeling is that results will be the same.

Hey All, First thx to author for this great app!!! Have been burning mega CD/DVD Data/Video 99% successfully with this drive but first venture with DL media with this drive. DL problem...Have a Sony DRU-700A upped FW to VY08 and using Fuji (I know VB!!) +R DL (RITEK-D01-01) but I haven't gotten to the point of "coasters" as burn process never gets past Setting LO Data Zone Capacity which I assume is an internal mode/param throw to the drive for the given burn. It either errors out with unable to set or totally loops indefinitely having to power down to basically reset drive. Source is a DVD9 ISO ripped with DVD-Decrypter w/MDS file. Have tried different methods...MDS, stand-alone ISO mount > build setting layer break. Kinda doubting at this point its media rather hw...any hints as to why failing/hanging at that? Am I missing something?? TIA Iron PS to author...Love some of the comments in modal dialog responses, especially the opening ISO with MDS present or close more than once.
