Why will they inevitably fail? What inevitably fails is cheap garbage media, which you seem hooked on. Go get a Verb and try. Regards I think you totally misread my post The Verbatims would inevitably fail because of the drive, not because of the actual media itself. Where did I say that I buy 'cheap garbage media'? I buy nothing but Verbatim, whether it be single layer, dual layer or cds. Anyway, that's all irrelevant now. I binned the drive and replaced it another model which is burning without any problems at all

Hey, I've been having major problems trying to burn DL discs with ImgBurn. I either get the dreaded 'Power Calibration Error' or it bombs out halfway, if I'm very lucky it will occasionally burn sucessfully. I've tried burning from my desktop, from a caddy attached to my desktop and then attached to my laptop but to no avail. I'm convinced it's the burner (Lite-On) because it spins very loudly and clicks like it's struggling, single layer discs are absolutely fine though Rather than waste more money on Verbatims which will inevitably fail, I think it's time for a new burner. I've seen people recommending Pioneer's, are these the best to go for? Cheers
