I take exception to your abusive language and have reported you to the admin of this forum.

The exact same media and hardware work perfectly for video, so it cannot be the media. And the data dvd's cannot be read in other machines, so again it cannot be the media. And Philips, Sony, and NEC are excellent brands. The only thing that is rubbish is your answer, you snob.

I have a big problem: buring video DVD's works great, I can play them anywhere, but burning data DVD's fails spectacularly. It looks like sector zero is not written. I've tried several different ISO's from various sources, including freshly made new ISO's, Philips DVD-R and Sony DVD+R, lower burn speeds, different burn programs, new official firmware and new region-free firmware, two different burners (NEC 3550 and NEC 3510), but no joy. Burning movies works great, but why can't I burn data? The ImgBurn Verify says: I/O Error!
