Problem with Maxell DVDs

[CheapTom]

HI, I have always used Nexxtech DVD-R with DVDFab and never had a problem. Lately I tried a Maxell DVD +R 4.7 gb. My burner rejected it. It passed the "checking for writing capability" part, but when the writing itself began, the door opened. I took out the Maxell and put in a Nexxtech, and it worked fine.
I tried again on a different burn, and the same thing occurred. Is there a setting in DVD Fab to make it accept DVD + R? Because all the other times I use -R and it worked. i don't know what else it could be.
Thank you.

Hi CheapTom
Seems like your drive does not like these discs. try picking up some quality media like Verbatim with the AZO dye printed on the package label.
If you could please post your internal and burn log.
Thanks

I happen to have some of these and burn them ok with ImgBurn with OPC turned on. If you want to try this let me know and we'll walk through setting you up. Even if it doesn't help you'll still have the best burning engine there is running seamlessly with DVDFab.

Thank you both. I'll but the Verbatim dvd's today. Just curious...what is AZO and what makes them different? thanks !

AZO is an organic dye that Verbatim uses that the laser marks very distinctly and doesn't fade over time. The reason cheap blanks won't play in a year.

Thanks for that Info on the Verbatim 90312 it's hard to buy good quality disks around my area but will give these a try if I can find them

If you live in the US you can get them here:

Office Max anad BestBuy have them, if you have either of these nearby. Prices are higher than the online sources in most cases. BBuy puts them on sale several times a year.

Thanks for the tips on places to buy some good blank dvds, signals,90312

You may be able to salvage those Maxell blanks with ImgBurn however.

I am having the same issue, but one time mine will say insert double layer, which I did not burn that way, then another time it won't detect the disc at all. I am using Memorex dvd +R. That's all I have ever used for YEARS. Now all of a sudden on two different computers, I'm having issues accepting the disc to burn.

Should my pathplayer be on or off?
