OK, here is my setup: Magicspin 8x DVD-+RW in Bytecc USB2 enclosure and Averatec 1.3 Celeron notebook. The d*mn thing writes CDRs just fine (even though not more than 16X; when I try faster I get underrun for the duration of burning), but I'm still unable to burn one working DVD. I tried 4x+RW Ridata that came with the unit, as well as old 1X-RW Ritec. None seem to work.
First, I tried Nero Ultra 6.3 Burning Rom with Ritec. The Juliet option on DVD-video is dim (can't be ticked). First disc refused to burn at all. Then I tried to use Nero Express. Disc burned (took an hour at 1x) but won't play anywhere including my comp CD-Rom.
Then, I tried 4x Ridata. It started burning with insane underrun (keeping it at 26% all the time), and somewhere in 4 hours gave me a failure.
I will admit I'm a complete novice when it cames to dvd burning, but I know it's not supposed to be that painful. Does it look like hardware or disc problems? I flashed the Writer with the latest firmware, maybe I shouldn't have? Any help is very apreviated.
