Need more info, what format does your burner support, + or - ? some burners can only burn to one type of format.

Apple G5 Two dual-core 2.5GHz PowerPC G5 processors 1.25GHz 1MB L2 cache per core1GB of 533MHz DDR2 SDRAM 250GB Serial ATA hard drive 16x SuperDrive (double-layer) AirPort Extreme+Bluetooth Three open PCI-Express expansion slots NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT with 256MB SDRAM 23 inch apple HD cinema display. One 600 GB external Maxtor hard drive, three external 160 GB Western digital hard drive's, four external dvd burners, two photo printers,
THIS IS HILARIOUS, MARIO 1UP!

if your burner is 8x and you are trying to burn a 16x disk then you would need to do a firmware update so your burner will properly recognize the newer media that you are using to burn with that 8x burner! what is the make and model # of your burner? what software are you using to burn your DVDs..... and what are you trying to burn?

no! Like I said..... the 16x media is the newer media out there and an 8x drive has to have a firmware update to burn to these disks properly by getting the correct write strategies to burn to that disk.

the latest firmware for your drive is BYS3 found here: LINK
