I RMA'd my drive back to NewEgg, and today my new one just arrived. It is a PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-112D 1.15 (ATA), manufactured March 2007. It already came with the new firmware so I had no need to update. Before trying to burn any media I went through a checklist of things: Read Retail CD? YES Read Burned CD-R? YES Read Burned CD-RW? YES Read Retail DVD? NO Read Burned DVD-R? NO Read Burned DVD+R? NO Read Burned DVD+R DL? NO So twice I've recieved a drive, and twice it has been a complete POS. I went with Pioneer for their name and the fact of having a good prior experience with their hardware but I guess things have changed. This is just a follow up to my post, obvious it was not an issue with ImgBurn, but I thank you guys for your support.

Just want to say I just recently found out that DVD Decrypter lives on through ImgBurn, something I'm very happy to see and be apart of. Ok, well I just got my PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-112D (firmware 1.09) in today from newegg, along with a 20 pack of Verbatim DVD+R DL's. Now my drive is installed properly, DMA is on. My first 3 burn attempts have turned into 3 expensive, and ugly, coasters for my coffee. I first tried burning an iso that was created by ImgBurn, with the appropriate Layer Break selected. My last attempt was just to try and transfer the files directly to the DVD, but still I have set the Layer Break properly. My error message leads me nowhere (just says unknown) and now I am asking for some outside help. I went through the forums here but have found nothing like the problem I am experiencing, so included is my log (unfortunately I cancelled the verify in frustration so the log is cut off at the end). Any help is appreciated as I am tired of throwing my money down the sh*tter, thanks. I 17:41:14 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!
