It was probably one of those wild threads of mine? :)) However, I was trying to burn a Double Layer DVD+R as opposed to a Dual Layer DVD-R with what seems to be a low end DVD writer. After a number of rather expensive coasters and days of headache from excessive googling, I came to the conclusion that Double Layer burning is as temperamental as CD burning was 15 years ago. From what I ascertained the brand of the DVD media is more important than any other parameter that I could I find. Someone suggested using Verbatim, but I haven't yet bought any to try, because I could only find them in packs of 10 last time I looked. By that time I had reached the no return point whereby any additional penny would be better spent buying a more expensive DVD writer in the hope of it being compatible with more DVD brands. Then HD-DVD and Blue-Ray appeared in the horizon and decided that I could wait after all. Good luck and post back if you find a DVD brand that works with your writer. PS. K3B should be able to record DL DVD -- Regards, Mick
