Help !Cannot Burn DVDs

I have a Pioneer 105 burner which will not burn DVDs, when i'm at the burning stage an error message reads:
Drive not ready, disk not inserted.
I can burn CDs and SVCD on this burner,the software I'm using is Power director pro 2.55, the media type is TDK DVD-RW

 

Try updating your firmware, that may help.

 

Write Speed for your burner is:
DVD-R 4X, 2X, 1X-CLV
DVD-RW 2X, 1X-CLV

Is your DVD-RW media compatible to 2x write speed?

 

I have updated the firmware and still have the problem however, the TDK media is 4x write speed can this really make a difference ?

Thanks Budo.

If your media has the ability to burn at 4x and also 2x then no. But if your Burner only sees this media as a DVD-RW 4x then absolutely since it only can burn a DVD-RW at 2x.

 

What branded Media do you recommend for this burner ?

Cheers Budo,

 

Post your burner information so I can look it up, including the manufacturer, exact model number, etc.

 

The model is : Pioneer DVD-RW DVR105
Firmware version 1.30
Disc info ? version 1-5-5-9
Read speed 32 x
Write speed 16 x

Thanks Budo

 

AAR05v133B.EXE Firmware version 1.33 for improved DVD-Dual Layer playback, enhanced CD-R/RW writing, improved DVD-R/RW playback and writing, and includes all previous firmware updates
