So the problem started with this drive, LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1633S. It used to burn all brands of DVDs without any problems. I bought a pack of Verbatims but it didn't like those at all. It had the latest firmware, BS0Y. I even flashed it to one from codeguys.rpc1.org but still the same problem. Errors are similar to the logs attached.
I swapped out dvd burners with a brand new LITE-ON SOHW-1693S and it's still having problems. it won't even burn dvd+r's that i've burned hundreds of without issue. now it will hang on writing lead-in for about 3 minutes and crash. i've upgraded the firmware on it as well.
the problems all started when i tried to use verbatim discs when i was having trouble getting the taiyo yudens to burn. i upgraded the firmware and it kept making coasters. i replaced the drive and still the same issues.
if i reboot the system, i can get 1 good burn. then all following burns are coasters
the only thing i've done is tried verbatim discs and upgraded the firmware on the old dvd drive and then install the new dvd burner and upgrade the firmware on it.
here's the log:
