stalls on writing leadin. please help!

[wesker798]

Ok so I have burnt isos before with no problem. Now it will not let me burn the dvd-r's that I am trying to burn. I have burnt this type of media (Sony) in the past without problems. When I first try burning the iso i get an I/O device error followed by error messages. When i try burning it again it stalls on writing leadin. It simply says that that is what its doing indefinately. Here is the log.

I have tried writing it on 2x and 4x speed, both with unsuccessful results. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Try 8x.

Try cleaning the drive.

Try finding a firmware update for the drive - check with whoever made your PC.

Try some different discs - using Taiyo Yuden's TYG02 or TYG03 dye for example.
