Amazingly enough, COMPUSA brand (optodisc dye) DVD-RW's work really well, and they burn at 2.4x. However, I cant say the same about the -RW...stay away

I have had zero problems with my LG-4040B so far.

I have approx. 45 - 50 burns of movies and ps2 games with only one coaster (and that was my own fault).

I have burnt on Maxell (+RW and -R), TDK (+R), Memorex (+R, -R), Verbatim (-RW and +R), and Pine (-R, +R) and zero problems.

I mainly use DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrink, DVDtoCopy, CloneDVD, and Alcohol 120% for PS2. All really easy programs to use.

The only thing I havent done yet it RAM. I just havent gotten around to it yet.

I have now tried all 3 Maxell DVD+RW and none of them work all come back with the same error.

I have updated the firmware so i dont have a clue what is wrong.

I am using nero6 to do the burning

I am using Nero 5.5.10.54, and have no problems whatsoever!.

I have noticed that the dvd+rw that i am using is a dvd+rw video and not dvd+rw data does this matter?
cheers

I had the same problem with my GSA-4040B not liking Maxell +R at all. It would burn fine with Nero 6.0.0.0 and verify the data as being good. Put this in both my stand alone players or even the computer would give me errors or a player that would just click away.

I just was about ready to take my disks back when I came across somebody saying they read somewhere about Nero 6.0.0.0 not finalizing + media disks on that drive right and adviced to update to the newest version 6.0.0.23. I did that last night and all is well again.

I usually use Fuji -R, but I got what I thought was a decent deal on 10 packs of 4X Maxell +R for $15.99 a pack. I cleared the shelves at both our Walgreens of them and would have hated to get rid of them.
