I got this dual layer burner last year, and finally just got some name brand, memorex 16x media. right at the the top of the spindle is says "you may need to update your firmware" and sure enough I did.. so I got the latest from LG and updated the drive with no issues. I then fired up nero 7 and tried burning.. got a coaster.. tried again but did the speed simulation first.. system is plenty fast.. but the burn failed again. then i tried with alcohol 120%, failed at 16x..
finally, i updated nero 7 to 7.0.1.4, and just burned a 16x successfully. however, just before the drive actually starts to burn it f**ks around for about 2.5 minutes.. just spinning up and down, and clicking.. then it actually burns, but by now its taken as long to burn at 16x as it does at 8x... so im wondering what the problem might be?
