As lfc said above...get some Verbs... Yes point taken those Datawrite DL Coasters on on there way back to the retailer So this story should end well. Amazing how they get away with selling rubbish media like this Datawrite should hang there head in shame will be waiting for my refund before delving back into DL burning & yes it will be verbs. Shopping around for best price's now. so endeth the lesson thanks all

First thanks for your replys. Yes that was posserble the worst amount of failed disc's i can remeber. Since i first got a burner & that was back in CD only days. Realy surprized at how critical media is with DL burning. So Lesson learned. Thanks for the tips & advice

yes learning the hard way reading through forum now to make sure i have prog set up right at least these are not Verb price so i can waste a few getting use to How DL work over SL DVD's Thanks I have given up on the datawrite Red DL 10 failed burns is no use. Contacted the supplier will be getting a refund Things would not even burn at 2.4 speed got as far as 75% then file errors. Verbatim have always made good media i know that. used there Disc's in the past. But tend to use cheaper media for less important stuff like car Cd's & unimportant Data stuff. will get some verbs but what would be the next best few DVD DL makes after verbs ???? Thanks for the advice so far

Quiet true looks like a hard lesson learned pitty Sales site sell this rubbish. will no bettter next time Thanks

Still getting failed burns 6 Disc so far getting a little bit tiresome now Never had such problems Think i will stick with SL after this experience with Datawrite & Verbs are too pricey. anyhow for what its worth here is my log file. An ideas. Thanks in advance I 07:55:53 ImgBurn Version 2.2.0.0 started!
