Support NeoGAF

Ok so I have these 16x DVD+r's

And so far all 4 that I've burnt are not being read in the drive, or any other drive i put them in!

I have an LG drive that is supposed to be capable of 16x burning, and supports all formats

What the fuck?

No name radio shack DVD +R's work, but these memorex ones dont, what can I do?

BTW, i burnt them with Nero, and the max speed was only 4x

Yet the no name discs actually burn at their advertised speed

GAH

Make sure your drives firmware is up to date aswell as Nero.

Use Nero InfoTool to tell you what the ID for your disc is, and then find the firmware documentation for your current firmware and see what speeds it supports for that type

i updated the firmware today

I guess I could update nero

Nero has nothing to do with it, in all likelyhood.

Check your manufacturer ID for the disc in InfoTool, and look at the readme that came with the firmware. It'll probably mention what speeds that ID will burn at

 

[BigJonsson]

what id number?

and the firmware readme has like nothing in it :S

i think this has something to do with the lead out on the disc not working properly?

 

[BigJonsson]

bleh
this is garbage

I'm just gonna try and return the spindle
