Hi and welcome to the forum, pharcyde2!

 

It looks as your writer doesn't like the brand you are using.

I 21:41:54 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: RICOHJPN-D01-67) (Speeds: 2.4x)

I 21:41:54 Destination Media Sectors: 4,173,824W 22:09:56 Failed to Write Sectors 2568048 - 2568079 - Reason: No Write Current

W 22:09:56 Retrying (1 of 20)...

W 22:09:56 Retry Failed - Reason: Cannot Write Medium - Incompatible Format

 

Any ideas???!???

 

Thanks.

 

firstly , its not an I/O error like the topic suggests, see whats highlighted in red above Incompatible Format Its as Cynthia said above, crap media,and your drive just doesnt recognise it not long after it starts writing to the second layer. change to verbatim for DL work as the link cynthia provided suggests.

Hi. I get the same message (Incompatible Format) for single layer discs. I'm in the US and using Memorex DVD-R 16X. What brand do you recommend?

[volvofl10]

For -R most of us use Taiyo Yuden TYG02 8x , which are usually only available from online stores. You can get 12x and 16x , these are marked as TYG03 , but i prefer the older 8x TYG02's.

look at the link in Cynthia's post above , i think it suggests what stores are in the US who supply these as well as the DL verbatims.

 

EDIT

better still, post a log file in case your problem is being caused by something else
