I just got some new Taiyo Yuden 16x DVD-Rs, and I can't get them to work at all. I am very frustrated after messing with this for a whole day now. I've gone though a 50 pack of Verbatim 16x, and previously another 50 pack a Taiyo Yudens, without any serious problems before. I think the old TY discs might have been 8x, and I burned those with Nero. At some point during the Verbatims I switched to Imageburn. Anyway, I've never had a problem like this before. I really don't want to go back to Nero, but I can't get any of these new discs to burn. They all fail exactly the same way in the LeadIn. Doesn't matter if I try it at a slower speed. I've upgraded my BIOS. I've tried using different IO methods. I'm not sure if it's even writing anything as the discs still appear to be blank after I try it(thank God). I tried one of my girlfriend's Verbatim Lightscribe 16x discs this morning with no issues at all. Also, test mode goes all the way through without a hitch. It doesn't fail until I turn test mode off. I'm not sure what else I can try. I usually get this stuff on my own, but I need to ask for help here. Here's the log:
