Thanks for your help on this dude. The firmware update SEEMS to have fixed the issue I have wasted 7 out of 10 DVDs on this, but then i did the update & the 8th DVD worked. I have 5 folders for Dual Layer backup. I have ordered some Verbatim DVD's off ebay.co.uk. I should probably put all 5 on them. thanks for the help

Ok, thanks for the clear up I've read up & found that updating, could possibly lead to drive failure. I have a few things i need to burn (i.e. mp3s to CD, and back up most of my files to a single layer DVD, which i know will work) & then i'll get to updating & attempting a DL burn. Are you saying this MIGHT or WILL work with my DL problem?

Just a query then... I have just checked on the dual layer DVDs that worked the last time i wanted to back up this amount. There is no label on them whatsoever. I have read other people's DL problems & did note the verbatim comment, but i dismissed this simply because i have used other DVD's before, that are unbranded and work. I use unbranded CD's all the time & they always work. I use unbranded single layer DVD's that work all the time no problem. The last set of dual layer DVD's i worked were unbranded and worked. the DL DVD's i'm using at the moment that are failing, have "Datawrite" on them. I have used CD's & DVD's with this on the label & they've always worked. So why should THESE dl dvd's i'm using not work? Also, why would the firmware be an issue when the firmware that is currently installed is the same firmware that was installed the last time that dl burning worked for me? I'm not for a minute saying you're wrong. I just do not understand why, what worked last time, is what you're saying could possibly be the reason it is no longer working. To me that doesn't make sense. I'd just like to understand before i go down this route.

I've wasted about 4 DL DVD's via Nero. I'm trying to back up various files. The biggest burn i'm attempting is 7.5GB (obviously well within the capacity of the DVD). Key note #1 here guys :: i have done this before using Nero and it worked fine. I'm attempting nothing different to what has worked for me in the past. Whatever firmware i have now ... i had it in the past when it last worked. Whatever my Nero version is ... i had it in the past when it last worked etc. But i was getting errors relating to [disc at once] ... someone recommended ImgBurn to me, so i figured i would try it Just downloaded it, attempted to burn, and got an error message. Key note #2 ::: I can burn various files (using Nero) on a DVD+RW perfectly fine, no problems. But it seems to be when going the Dual Layer route that i'm facing problems.
