I had problem with -R DL while ago and now accepted that this drive doesnt even support it.

 

But now I got some Verbatim +R DL (made in singapore) and they only seem to come up as normal +R

Theres the disc info, shows size only as 4gb~ but write speed still is 2.4x for the DL. So wonder if there is something I'm missing and could be fixed?

Did you buy the 8x verbatims?

 

You might be better off with the 2.4x ones.

 

At the moment the drive doesn't appear to be initialising them properly - meaning it doesn't fully support them.

 

I certainly wouldn't try burning to them.

And yes, these are pure 2.4x verbatims

 

Write mode has samething, tried swapping blanks also

Also I had this same thing few months ago, but then I had shitty media so burn failed.

 

I 14:24:25 Destination Device: [0:0:0] HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H20L 1.02 (D:) (ATA)

I 14:24:25 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: RITEK-D01-01) (Speeds: 4x)

 

So driver does support this media.

Those are Ritek and LUK meant your drive does not support / or even recognise 8x Verbatim MKM-003-00

This is what I'm wondering, since now it sees those RITEK ones too as normal +R.

 

Going to try flashing again later and see if that helps.
