Burner Won't Recognise Blank Disc
Howdy genii
I've been using Roxio Toast Titanium 6.0 for a few months now and all has been great. Now, however, after importing the dvd, the pop-up that asks me to put in a writable blank disc comes up. I do so and after a couple of minutes it will eject it and ask me to insert a blank writeable disc again. It doesn't seem to recognise the little darling. I could sit here all night doing this .... but I won't.
Help help help
best wishes

I bought a spool of imation DVDs and they didn't work, Apple's brand does and so does Verbatium.

It may be a copy of Verbatim though. I am, after all in China, the capitalof copies. I'm trying to find another source. Will get back to yas.
Thanks for your help so far.

There was also this topic at Macfixit.com
Mac OS X 10.4: CD/DVD burning problems: Errors, blank discs not recognized
It is in the archives and I am not a macfixit pro subscriber so I can not follow that link.

be forewarned though that it involves your drive firmware patching

no shame mate, no shame...
i wouldn't run anything mission or business critical on tiger juuust yet...
Tried that but I get a popup telling me the writer is already supported by Mac OS X.
Where to now, my trusty colleagues? I bought this powerbook when it was about 11 months old. Maybe the writer has been overtaxed and just needs replacing. It does make some funny noises every now and then. But then I don't have any problems with burning cd's. Just dvd's.
Hope you can help.
