Session Fixation Error - DVD+RW

[coldseptembers]

Hi All,

 

I am having issues burning DVD+RW Verbatim DataLifePlus media on my Lite-On DVD+-RW LH20A1L. I was able to burn a DVD+RW the other day (with some issues), but whenever I try to burn a DVD+RW now, I receive the following errors:

I suppose it is worth noting that I was able to burn data DVD-RW Verbatim DataLifePlus media instead. I know this drive is definitely capable of burning to most DVD formats. Also, I checked for a firmware update, but there is none currently available. If anyone could give me any suggestions or point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it.

If the DVD+RW's you're trying to use there are in A1 condition (or new), all you can do is avoid using those particular discs until the firmware is fixed.

 

I did actually manage to locate a BL04 firmware for the drive so give that a try.

Lots of posts over at the cdfreaks forum are saying the drive can't burn anything, not even TYG02 - which are probably the best media ever created.

My gosh, what a quick reply! Thanks a lot Lightning!

 

I did look on the official Lite-On website for the firmware update and couldn't find anything, but I'm glad you were able to locate a firmware update. I updated that and I'll see how I make out.

 

I sure hope I didn't buy a crappy drive...I just bought it from newegg.com, and it received high ratings. Maybe I'll buy some new media and experiment.

 

Thanks again for you help, I really appreciate it.

 

Edit:

 

Low and behold, the firmware update allowed me to erase, reformat, and burn to the Verbatim DataLifePlus DVD+RWs! Thanks a million! You better believe I'm going to donate!
