Hi folks first off, heres the backstory. I have two dvd burners in my pc, then one day they both started refusing to burn dvd's,..but I could still burn audio cds. Eventually they both stopped even burning audio cds. Through a completely unrelated reason I had to reinstall windows. Magically BOTH dvd burners were working again after that. That was 4 months ago and now they have both magically stopped working again. So since this has happened before and started working again, i can imagine its not the type of discs i'm using ..nor can it be the drives themselves. I don't really wanna have to reinstall windows everytime so if someone could at least give me a starting point I'd be gratefull.

What dvd media are you using? It looks like your burner does not like the media you are using. Get some Verbatims or Taiyo Yudens and test it out again.
