Actually it happens with all DVD burning tools. About half way through the burning process I get this error log with Decrypter.
I've tried several different types of media. All it does is make coasters now.
Has my DVD-RW write capability been fried. It reads both DVD and CD's fine and writes CD's fine.

I updated the firmware to the one from that first link years ago.
I couldn't figure out which one on the Toshiba link I would want to install or if it's newer than the one I already have.
This just recently started happening and it always happens about half way through burning a DVD. Everything else about the drive works fine, it plays DVDS and CD's it rips DVD's and CD's it burns CD's, it just won't burn a DVD to capacity anymore.
I'm wondering if this drive would fit in this Sony Laptop. http://www.lapzone.com/servlet/the-362/D...CFSKkhgodTkwOlg It's about $160 less than a new one from Sony. I guess I'll call them tomorrow and find out.
