Cynthia Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 In how good condition is that RW disc? If it's been used heavily before there might be fingerprints/dust on the surface that makes the verify go south. Have you tried with another type of disc/another disc?

asdqweqrqr Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) ok just bought fresh set of Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x and they worked great, i was able to burn all my files at 6x speed within 4-5 mins and it worked like charm, i guess the dvds i was using earlier were shitty.
