I/O write error

[Hugh]

I can't seem to burn any dvd lately, i keep getting I/O errors, I changed my transfer length from 32 to 64kb and that seemed to help a little anyway, but once it gets to the verify stage it still messes up! What am I doing wrong? Oh and if you guys need to know anything thing else just hit me back. thanks for you help

I tried playing it and it does work but it frequently pauses, i'll try changing the write speeds and see where it gets me.

You really need different media. Do as LOCO says and get some Verbatims or Taiyo Yudens.

Do as suggested and get rid of the crap media you are using and get some of the recommended stuff!

Pausing, stuttering, stopping, etc are typical results from sub-par media....do yourself a favor and ditch the Memorex stuff and don't look back.

You only change the transfer length to fix a very specific problem / error - and it's not the one you're having.
