Hi,I know this one comes up from time to time... but...I have an LG Field GSA-4163B DVD burner with the 1.05 firmaware (more or less the latest!). I am going through a continuous coaster production using Bulkpaq Orange DVD-R discs (4x speed, Generation 4).The first 2 or 3 worked OK, but since then, rubbish! The burn (Nero 6.0) process appears to work, but the verify finds lots of read errors.The same drive reads game DVDs, CDs, CDRWs etc. fine and burns CDRWs correctly too.I suspect that it's the media, but before I pour more money down the drain on different media (I still have 15 orange Bulkpaqs left!) I'd appreciate some expert advice.It's definitely the media... yes?TIA.PeteP.S. The drive was configured as a slave with a CD rewriter as master on mobo IDE channel 2, but today I removed the CD rewriter and made the DVF burner a master. Still produces coasters!
