  1. The burner should automatically booktype DVD+R DL media to DVD-ROM. If it isn't doing this (ImgBurn shows the booktype in the Log just before verifying starts) then it isn't burning the disc properly.

     

    (or just a s*** drive!)

    That's the whole problem indeed, as you've said yourself the other burner works fine.

  2. I 20:15:28 Destination Device: [3:1:0] ASUS DRW-1814BL 1.10 (G:) (ATA)

    I 20:15:28 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: CMC MAG. AM3) (Speeds: 4x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 16x)

    I 20:15:28 Write Speed: 12x

    Your burner doesn't like the media you're using. Update your burner's firmware (remove any disc from the drive and close the tray then run the firmware updater) and try burning again. You could also try burning at 8x.

  3. Verbatim 8x DVD+R DL blanks probably didn't exist at the time that burner was sold, so it doesn't know how to burn those blanks, and the generic 2.4x write strategy doesn't work either.

     

    Your system seems fairly recent so I'll assume it has at least one SATA port available, so the best burner you can get is a new Optiarc (AD-7240S / AD-7260S or newer will be fine).

  4. I 09:45:33 Destination Device: [0:1:0] HP DVD Writer 640c QS12 (G:) (ATA)

    I 09:45:33 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: MKM-003-00) (Speeds: 2.4x)

    It looks like your burner doesn't support the 8x Verbatim DVD+R DL blanks (notice that it shows only 2.4x as available write speed). Your only chance would be with the 2.4x Verbatim blanks, which are hard to find. Alternatively, a new burner is very cheap these days.

     

    By the way, update your ImgBurn.

  5. I 19:38:14 Destination Media Type: DVD-R (Disc ID: RITEKF1) (Speeds: 2x, 4x, 6x, 8x)

    I 19:38:14 Write Speed: 2x

    Try burning at 4x or 6x. You could also try with better quality media, such as Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden (Victor JVC) or Sony blanks.
