LG GSA-4163B Dual Layer Problems

[gtoulson]

I've had my LG 4163B drive for a while and NEVER encountered a problem until trying to use a dual-layer disc.

 

I'm trying to burn an ISO image to a DL disc, and as soon as I click burn, roxio complains that it has encountered a problem writing the disc.

 

I even tried extracting the ISO and burning the files but again, same error message.

 

My next thought was to try and upgrade the firmware (from a102 to a105) and this made the problem even worse! Now when I press burn it instantly errors unlike before I upgraded the firmware, it would try and burn the disc (noise from drive and flashing light) for about 30 seconds and then throw up the error.

 

System Specs are as follows:

 

AMD Athlon x64 3800+

1GB RAM

250 GB Hard Drive

Geforce 7600 GT Video Display

LG-GSA-4163B DVD RW

 

Thanks people.

This is more likely a DVD brand issue with the burner and not the software. Go to LG's support website and see if they have a list of DVD brands that they recommend or have tested.

Hi there,

 

I've tried two different brands and the same issue ...

 

The one's i've got at the moment are Aone .. never heard of them and bought them because didn't want to spend money on branded ones incase that didn't work ..
