| Well I've no idea if this is the right group, and apologies to the
| regulars if it isn't, but since you started the thread I will reply to
| say I'm having no end of trouble with dvd dl burning, both data and
| video. I have 3 burners - a Lite-On IDE like yours, an HP and a
| Samsung (both external USB). I'm burning from 3 different PC's, one of
| which is Dell laptop, the others home-built desktops, one Intel, one
| AMD. Software is Nero Express and Ulead Burn Now 2.0. Burning from
| ISO's or video folders, or just data.
|
| I recently bought samples of Datawrite Red, HP, Fortis and Mirror
| blank DVD +R DL.
|
| The Datawrite Red aren't even recognised in any of the 3 drives. They
| are totally useless to me.
|
| The HP and Mirror disks are recognised, but either crap out during the
| burn phase or complete the burn successfully but then get errors
| during the verification phase, again in all 3 drives. They will then
| play up until they hit the bad data. The fact the HP burner doesn't
| work with HP branded disks is particularly annoying. I haven't had ONE
| SINGLE successful write with either of these brands.
|
| The Fortis disks work pretty much every time, in any of the 3 drives.
| Don't think I've made any coasters with those.
|
| I also happened to have some Datawrite Yellow knocking around, and
| these work about 50% of the time.
|
| It doesn't seem to matter which PC or which burning s/w I use, except
| that the HP drive isn't happy connecting to my AMD box for some
| reason.
|
| All 3 drives burn normal DVD +R and -R reliably.
|
| So the lesson seems to be - find a brand of disk that works for you.
| For me it's Fortis. Never heard of them before but there you go. This
| is all quite frustrating, and reminds me of the early days of burning
| CD-R's where every other disk is a coaster.

So I guess you play a B3? Have you tried Native Instruments B4 software?
I reluctantly paid too much for my Verbatim DL and now to find that I cannot
use them is frustrating. I'll check out the Fortis.
