[Verify errors out at 50% everytime. It's not the media.]

Update:

 

I flashed the drive with the Samsung SH-S183a firmware (original mfgr of this TSST drive). Same error on DL. So I went back to the TSST firmware.

 

Then got the Verbatim media, and all is good again. No errors on 2 DL burns (that gave me errors before). I guess I'm a customer for life.

 

Thanks again,

Eric

Thanks for your help, Lightning.

 

Just tried Memorex 2.4x DVD+R DL media. Same problem.

I just bought some Verbatim and I'm crossing my fingers.

 

Memorex error...

Understood.

 

So should I try a write again but at 2.4x speed or is it being forced to write at that speed already?

 

I'll try a new DL media. Sounds like Verbatim is the way to go, based on the posts on this forum.

[Verify errors out at 50% everytime. It's not the media.]

It seems to write fine, but then gives me an error at 50% on verify everytime. SL media burns fine. Help.

 

Using IB 2.3.2.0.

Using Playo DVD+R DL 2.4x media but burning at slowest speed.

TSSTcorp DVD+-R TS-H653A with current firmware D500.

 

Here's why I know it's not the media... Just migrated from an older computer with a Pioneer DL drive that burned the same media fine with the same version of ImgBurn.

 

Here are the two most recent error logs...
