Write error with DL

[kandyman]

I'm new to using Imgburn and having some problems burning. I'm using verbatim DVD+R DL 8x media and my drive is a samsung TS-H652L-0803. I tried burning an xbox360 game and a movie and got similar errors. The log for the movie is here, I got 94% complete before it stopped writing:

Your drive doesn't like the discs. You are using the current firmware from HP which is two years old and newish discs....old drive + new discs = problems. I wouldn't count on HP releasing a firmware update to expand media compatibility so it might be time for a new drive.

Why not put it on a SL instead of wasting a DL?

I tried it out first with the 360 game and when that didn't work I figured to try it with something with no layerbreak to see if I screwed up somehow, but still came out with the same results. So no firmware update could correct this?? The drive i have is supposed to burn DL discs, lightscribe and all that. What would you reccomend?? New Drive??

[kandyman]

Maybe different DL media?? idk

If you could find some old media that would be a start, but truthfully instead of taking a step back I'd take a step forward and look for a new drive. According to the little I've read about your drive it was pretty good in it's day, but a day in the technology world was a lifetime ago. Look at the Optiarc 7200a or Pioneer 115 or 116, they can be had on the cheap from NewEgg.

Update your firmware like you were advised. You'll be a happy camper then.

I have my drive's most updated firmware. But I will look into another burner....Thanks!!
