Newbie DVD help needed. Please

I have been copying and writing DVD's for over three years now using Clone DVD and I have come across a problem recently.

Is it possible that my burner will not burn on certain DVD-R's.

I went out and bought a 100 pack of Fugi's and my burner would not write on any of them, but my friends system would. Originally I chalked this up to a learning and did not buy Fugi's again. Now I am having the same issue with Maxell's.

Can anyone tell me what is going on here. I have ID the disk below

try sticking with Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim

also make sure you have the most up to date firmware for you're drive/burner check here

and how old is the drive/burner?

maybe its time for a new one

the fujiflim media will code out as prodisc which is not good

 

Thank you. I have updated my firmware and I can now burn on these DVD's. I will use up these and stick with Verbatim for future use.
