The problem I have (Toast 6.0) is while I can burn CDs just fine, whenever I try to burn a DVD I get the following errors:
Sense Key = Medium Error sense Code = 0x73, 0x03
This happens when I try to burn a DVD with no special settings in the recorder settings =best speed
and
Toast interface error -16434
I have tried to lower the burn speed (x4 and 1xDVD) and checked buffer underun and when I run a simulation everything is fine but when I try to burn disc using the same settings I get Toast interface error -16434.
Any suggestions?
