Try burning it with Imgburn, at 2.4x. If you go any higher then 4x write speed, the discs won't be read.

And that is bullshit. There are many newer burners that don't even support burning at 2.4x speed, which could cause the coasters at 80something percent. You are trying to force a burner to burn with a speed it (and the media) doesn't support.
The thing about the disc not being read when burned with everything above 4x speed... funny. All my backups burned with 8x speed work fine.
The Wave patching could be the problem here.

Many thanks for your question. There are indeed many conflicting answers to be found on the internet and I will try to provide a definitive answer.

Speed of media and drives have been the constant driver in the development of the CD and DVD recordable industry from the very outset. Our parent company, Mitsubishi Kagaku Media Company, has a long history of development of organic and non-organic recording materials and has very close working relationships with the major drive manufacturers and this has helped us to maintain excellent compatibility with the installed base of drives and with the latest models in development.

The aim when introducing a faster disc is for this disc to be reliable at its fastest rate and not merely as a marketing or promotional activity. This holds for both single layer and double layer discs. We have a large number of commercial customers who utilise these discs at their fastest possible write speeds in order to minimise the time taken to replicate content. Significant testing and verification takes place in order to assure customers that this writing is reliable across a wide range of drives from the marketplace.

I personally record the discs I use at the highest possible speed of the media because I know that the discs have been designed for such speeds, I do realise that in the past there have been instances of some ?no-name? discs not really being capable of being written to at claimed speeds. Many other users have written that they prefer to write at slower speeds and they feel that this is prudent but in speaking to many of them I have discovered that often they do not update the firmware of their drives very often (if at all) and so they may not be realising the full potential of the disc and drive combination. If users are happy to burn at lower speeds I would certainly not discourage them but try to reassure them that the discs are designed for faster burning .

I hope that this helps,

Best regards,

Ian

In the dashboard it says "Reading...", I hear the console trying to read the disc, but after a while it only says "Open tray". Originals and older backups are read correctly. As soon as possible I'll check the disc with Probe as soon as possible, but imgburn verified it correctly.
