I have a LG dual Layer Burner (GSA-H50L)and using RiData DVD-R DL 4X DVD's. I can burn movie copies on single layers no problem but when I try Dual layer burns when it get's to the second layer it always fails. Sometimes not right away but it does eventually. I am successful with similuations but fail when it comes to the real burn. I have used the nero clean up tool and re-installed with the lastest version. The last 2 errors I have received have been reset errors. Previously I have had a no seek error, and I think someting like track following error as well. I have exchanged the burner and still the same results. The log error is as follows Windows XP 5.1 IA32 WinAspi: - NT-SPTI used Nero Version: 7.9.6.0 Internal Version: 7, 9, 6, 0 Recorder: <HL-DT-ST DVD-RAM GSA-H50L>Version: 1.00 - HA 1 TA 0 - 7.9.6.0 Adapter driver: <IDE> HA 1 Drive buffer : 2048kB Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI, detected: ?

There's a newer firmware for your burner, version 1.01, here: http://us.lgservice.com/index_b2c.jsp That may or may not solve your problem. You could also try creating an ISO image of your project and burning with ImgBurn: http://www.imgburn.com Ridata media isn't the best and is harder to burn than Verbatim for many burners.
