t3sla Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 (edited) Whenever I try to burn something onto a dual layer disc, it never works with 2.4x, but when I use 4x, the first layer works, but when it's finished with the first layer, it always fails at the transfer. Its speed plops down to 0.0x, and just stops. I'm using an _NEC 3550a, with firmware version 1.y6. I've tried using a cleaning disc (memorex 08003), it spins in the drive, but doesn't get read by my dvd drive, so I'm not sure if it works.
