Are you using Toast? Or the built in Apple burning software?

I tried all ways: Finder, Toast and even direct from inside DVD-SP.
In such cases I receive an error before burning the media. Those DVDs can be burned in other machines (PCs most) after failed in mine.

I'll look at the site you mentio.

Thanks !

Hello, I'm having the same problem with 16x DVD-R media. I'm going to call Apple Care to find out if they're working on any firmware revisions on this. This can't be obsolete after two years?!

I am having the same problem. It can read CDs and DVDs, and burn CDs but cannot burn, with any program I have used, DVDs. I first had this problem using DVD-R in DVD Studio Pro 4 and I have go to get it working soon. My business depends on it.
