I've been perfectly happy with this burner until just today. Despite my upgrading to the latest firmware, I can't get this burner to recognize blank Burn*Master 16x DVD-R discs.

I know that its not on the "approved" manufacturer's list, but even if I can't burn 16x speed, it should still be able to tell that a blank DVD has been insterted. The device works perfectly fine with Imation 12x DVD-R's.

I've tried both Nero and Ulead (which came with the drive) and no luck.

Does anybody have any experience getting these to work?


It cannot burn those, so it tells you so. The reason is that the dye on the disks does not match (enough) the power spectrum of the laser.
