I used the Copying DVD's Tutorial and everything worked like a charm until I tried to burn it with Toast 5.2.1.

I have a LaCie External Firewire DVD burner - Toast reads it as a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR -106D- Firewire.

I used 2x and it frooze after about 20 seconds.

I am using Memorex DVD -R 4x disks.

Anyone have some suggestions as to why this isn'r working?

Well, the second try at burning per the tutorial seems to be working at 1x.

Does Pioneer read different media differently? If so, what media will Pioneer write at 2x? 4x?

thank you
