LG GSA-4163B, will someone please help me...?

Pax · August 6, 2010

Hello, new to the forum, great software by the way..

I am using a LG GSA-4163B with updated firmware to A106. First time using this burner for double layer discs. Any who, here is the MID info for the discs :

Disc & Book Type : [DVD+R DL] - [DVD+R DL]

Manufacturer Name : [Ritek Corp.]

Manufacturer ID : [RITEK]

Media Type ID : [s04]

Product Revision : [066]

Blank Disc Capacity : [Not Supported By Method 2]

Recording Speeds : [2.4x , 3.3x-8x]

[Method 2 Might Not Always Detect All Speeds]

I was attempting to burn with ImgBurn at 2.4x when I received a Set L0 Data Zone Capacity Failed error. Below is the log:
