Hi, this is really doing my head in so i hope someone can help.

I built my new pc 3 months ago and only yesterday tried to burn a dvd on new dvd writer (Liteon 165p6s-02c). Ive used it loads on cds both data and audio and its been fine, But when i tried to burn a data dvd (On a Datawrite Titanium Dvd-R 8x) the drive sounds like its speeding up and down and i cant eject even when ive aborted the burn program.

I tried it with different disk (Memorex Dvd+RW) and it seemed to burn fine, I also tried another type (Datasafe Dvd+r DL) and it also worked fine.

This writer is said to support nearly all formats. I dont know if its a coincidence but it worked on both + formats but failed on - format 3 times.

Ive updated to the latest firmware.

Does this just sound like my writer isnt good with Datawrite Titanium Dvd-R 8x and i should try another brand or could there be a problem with my drive?

Thanks in advance

Hi-- welcome to PCHF...

A drive that is writing WILL speed up/slow down --this is absolutely normal. Depends on what it is writing at that moment. It has little or nothing to do with what Brand of disc you use. You can't eject because the drive 'locks' the drawer when it is writing to avoid damage-- if opened accidentally.

Hope this helps

I just quickly read through a review on your burner, it IS supposed to support + and - DVD formats

Most likely, it just doesn't like that one brand name. There have been many instances with that.
