So I can't for some reason make a thread in the support area, even though I have more posts than others?? (whom have created threads)

 

Anyways, maybe a mod would be courteous and move thread to designated area.

 

Here's my dilemma:

 

So...went out and purchased the verbatim 8x dl disc and,

23:03:51 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!

I 23:08:00 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: MKM-003-00) (Speeds: 2.4x)

There is only one speed to select, so selecting something else is useless as it will revert back to 2.4x.

 

Your burner simple doesn't like that media. An external burner would solve your issues.

cynthia, thanks for the speedy response...I guess I will purchase a new burner, any reccommendations for something not to expensive that will get the job done?

 

Thanks so much

I like Pioneers. Get an internal version and put it into an external USB cabinet if you can fit it inside the computer. Models 115/116/117/215/216/217.

can you tell me if it's good, I heard that lite on is a decently reputable brand, not looking for something great just something better than my burner in my laptop which is 4 years old.

 

THANK YOU!!!!

 

cynthia is numero uNo

Lite-Ons are not my cup of tea. However nice for scannings.

 

Some models do not go very well with DL media.

Will this model work well with DL media, I'm just trying to get my hands on something today...so I can test it out, and is Lite-On (in general)

an okay brand?

An external slim burner is a laptop burner in an external enclosure, and as you know by now, laptop burners are rubbish. The site you've linked to doesn't seem to have any good external burners

You need a zip code for that page. Zip codes for me is pure Greek as I don't live in the US.

It's a bit high priced but it would be the one I would pick from that page.

OKay, is it going to be good for burning isos onto DL +r disc or .dvd files...im using verbatim 2.4x disc and have 8x ones as well

 

I'm going to pick it up as we speak. THANKS SO MUCH, hope I'm not dissapointed...you seem like you are a veteran when it comes to this

stuff...I was going to give up on this but now I'm like I dropped so much $$ on disc might as well finish it out...

Seems to be a pure US model based on the included Qflix application function.

 

Please report back how it works.
