Failed to Reserve Track

[pwolcott]

I have been trying to burn a dual layer disc -R (Phillips) using a Plextor PX-800A. I have been sucessful using Phillips brand DL +R but needed something more compatible with relatives players as the +R's won't play in them. I've been using Nero 6 with the +R disc's without a problem. Thought the software couldn't handle the -R's so I upgraded to version 9. Their software doesn't work either and that's is why I'm trying Imgburn.... Here is my log file:

Look at the error message: your drive doesn't support that media. Not to mention that uses a known low quality dye.

According to Plextor this drive supports all double layer discs +R and -R

Change to Verbatim, +R, 2.4x, MKM-001-00, Made in Singapore. What you are using is rubbish and you should be using +R for DVD movies anyway.
