Your drive is old and only supports DVD+R media. If you're using DVD-R media, that's why it doesn't work.

DVD-R is what I have. Are DVD+R still available?

as you can see from these dates for firmware for that old drive, you will need some 8x or even 4x media

use dvd+r's only, and apply the kh27 update

 

or buy a new burner, that one may be dying from old age
