G'day, to you as well.

I have to concur with what some of the listers have said. Shotty (cheap) media can really put the stops on your day when it comes to burning. I know there are na-sayers out there that will try to tell it different. But I know when I picked up a brick of dvd-r's from the local huge conglom store they weren't worth more than colorful coasters. I have had the best luck with Sony and from some reason those from newegg. No, I do not work for them, just buy quite a bit from them.
 Anyway, your luck may vary.

Regards,

Nathan

G'day, and  thanks Dan.

*OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5680H:*

  Firmware Revision:3AHB
  Interconnect:ATAPI
  Burn Support:Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)
  Cache:2048 KB
  Reads DVD:Yes
  CD-Write:-R, -RW
  DVD-Write:-R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW
  Write Strategies:CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO
Media:To show the available burn speeds, insert a disc and choose View > Refresh

I tried burning 8 DVD's last night, and had some success after setting the write speed to '8x DVD' *twice. *it then burnt at 4 to 8 speed, average speed 5.

The first time, it did not work, but after the second try it did.

However, closing and re-opening Toast, the setting failed to stick, and it reverted to 2x.

Regards

Santa
