[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 699033, member: 56231"] Some necessary questions : 1. What brand and type of dvd's did you buy this time round? Are they, for example, DL (dual layer)? Are they compatible with the capabilities of the Matshita drive? 2. Are you in a position to test dvd burning with your present disks using a borrowed [I]external[/I] optical drive? 3. Have you run a hardware check from your original Apple install disks (Utilities)? That might find some fault in the burn mechanism. Failing optical drives will often burn CDs but not dvd's, as the process is different (too technical for me to understand). [/QUOTE]
