Verbatim DVD-R Medium Write Error
I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I bought some Verbatim DVD-R's and in the beginning I had no problem burning images on it. Then suddenly it stopped working giving me a 'medium write error'. I entered a different type of DVD, Philips DVD+R and it burned. After that I switched back to Verbatim and it also burned on that DVD. Then some other time I wanted to burn another image on a Verbatim DVD, but again it constantly gave me a medium write error. So again I burned it first on a Philip DVD+R, which worked, and then tried it on Verbatim, but somehow now this trick didn't work anymore. After trying a lo-hot, rebooting, trying, trying, different settings, test burn, verify I don't know what it suddenly worked. And now it again constantly gives me a medium write error. How can I fix this?
