I 23:33:28 Destination Device: [0:0:0] TOSHIBA CD/DVDW SD-R5372 TU56 (E:) (ATA)

I 23:33:28 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: MKM-003-00) (Speeds: 2.4x, 4x, 5x)

Your drive doesn't properly support those Verbatim DVD+R DL 8x rated blanks. You could try burning at 4x but it's doubtful that it would work.

 

Try getting Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x MKM-001-00 Made in Singapore blanks, or if you can't/don't want to return/exchange your Verbatim 8x DVD+R DLs then you should get a new burner

What exactly did you see in the log that indicated that my burner cant handle the media i was using??

 

I actually have another DL drive. ITs a Memorex 16 x DL. Is that any bettter??

 

thanks

the highlighted "MKM-003 " is the type of ink/dye thats on the discs your using, and you writer is saying

W 23:33:48 Retry Failed - Reason: Cannot Write Medium - Incompatible Format

which means the writer does not like them or does not want to accept them.

 

as mmalves said as well, the ones you have now are fairly new 8x rated which older drives probably don't have a write strategy for ( dont know how to handle them), hence the suggestion to get a new drive if you want to keep using those newer discs, whereas discs with MKM-001 dye are the original DL ink/dye discs which should work with almost all older DL drives .

a quick google shows your toshiba drive came out in early 2005, some 3 years ago

 

Experience tells us that using Verbatim DL+R with the MKM-001 dye/ink made in singapore are the most consistent discs amongst all the Dual Layer discs on the market.

 

try the discs you already have in your memorex drive , they may work or may not , only way to find out is to try.

if you try them, post a log file regardless of if they work or not.

 

Not all drives like every type/brand of disc on the market, likewise not all standalone dvd players like every kind either.

its a balancing act of finding a brand that works on all "your" devices

The super dooper 5x write speed

 

 

Edit

 

Someone pointed out to me that 5x is a legitimate write speed for that drive , thats so king dumb.
