I actually have one of those adaptors for the same reason! 😅 I'll probably be safer with a all in one external burner/drive I guess though. Thanks very much for all the help everybody! Greatly appreciated!

Thanks very much for your reply. I just checked again to see if there is a firmware update available, but ImgBurn only directs me to Samsung models. Unless I'm mistaken and i should try one of those? I also tried to see if Windows had any Driver updates but it's all okay there. I might just try purchase an external burner and see if I have any luck there.

Sooooo I tried again when the new set of Discs arrived today. Is it possible I got another bad DVD-R ? Or is it time to start blaming the burner drive itself?

Thanks for the quick reply! If it's okay to link the amazon page here, would these be okay to use then? They have the AZO protection. Amazon Verbatim DVD-Rs

Hey guys, trying to burn a PS2 ISO but having absolutely no joy. I've looked through as many other forum posts of the topic as I could find and attempt their solutions. I've tried lowering the write speed to 4x (the DVD-R is 16x) and tried to find updates for my drive, everything seems okay I think. I've attached the Log below, maybe someone more well versed in the topic could spot something? I'm using Philips DVD-R 16x, my next step is to order another brand of disc I guess.
