I just got and installed the Sony dru-810a dvd r dl burner. It reads dvds and cd's just fine. It also burns cds just fine, but for some reason when I go to burn a dvd-r I get a write disk error before it even burns onto the dvd. Even odder is that the simulations for dvds work fine. Any ideas?

I'm using a nero program that came with the burning by the way.

try burning it at a slower speed or use a different burning program

i tried the slower speed idea, didn't work. I'm working on getting another burning program from a friend. Though i really don't think that's the problem.

You could also try upgrading the firmware for the drive. You can get it here:

Already tried that

Sometimes it's the discs too. I once went through 5 CD-Rs from one company before I use another brand. Worked fine after that. I don't have much experience with DVD-Rs but I imagine that they suffer from similar problems.

i've tried a few kinds and they all do the same thing. plus my frind uses the same brand and they work fine for him

Well I’ve gotten to the point where as far as I know I can't possibly do anything else. I've returned it and am being shipped a new one soon under the idea that it might just of been broken. Thanks for all your help anyway. If i get the new one and it still dosn't work i'll be back.
