DVD-R issues with EMC9-D

[Nila3]

Hello...

 

I just got a new Vaio laptop with Pioneer DVR-K17 DVD +/-RW drive. And EMC 9 deluxe edition.

 

I tried burning DVDs using Roxio, but it doesnt recognize the blank DVDs at all, and keeps spitting them out. I have read the other posts on this topic - so will tell u all details required beforehand :

 

1. OS : MS Vista Home Premium

2. Drive : Pioneer DVR-K17 DVD +/-RW drive

3. Roxio ver : EMC 9, deluxe

 

 

FYI, I have tried Memorex, HP, Imation and Sony DVDs - none of them get recognized.

 

I have updated the PX engine, as told by Roxio Email Support Team, and I have the latest firmware. All this, and still I cannot write DVDs. CD-R is pretty much happening.

 

Please advise?

 

Thanks

Would you happen to have Office 2007 installed ? I ran into something similar where it was start the burning process and then spit the disk out after just long enough to hose the media. I have a nice little stack of coasters now. After troubleshooting the issue extensively I found that it was something in Office 2007 Ultimate. I'm thinking the Groove Server software might be a possible source of the problem.

Well - my Office 2007 is the 60-days trial package which comes with Vista. But does it necessarily mean that I need to let Office 2007 go away, just to be able to burn DVDs in Roxio?

Try Verbatim, and make sure that your Pioneer has the latest firmware update.

Hi Again. I did try verbatim bland DVDs. Its still the same. Pioneer says that my notebook has the latest firmware for DVR-K17, so I guess no issues with firmware.

 

To add a note, I am able to burn data into a blank DVD using Vista's own dvd burner. But Roxio is not able to recodnize the blank DVD.

 

Ny idea?
