Well yesterday I uninstalled my Plextor 716A writer, then re-installed it.
I was able to put an original copy of American Gangster in and it started playing without any problem.
Then after I ejected the movie & put a blank dvd(verbatim) it starting doing the same thing again. It would just keep restarting my PC a few times & then completely shut my PC down.
Should I look into getting another DVD writer ? Maybe it's the writer that is bad ? I bought this one about 4 years ago from Newegg.com. What's a descent brand, not too expensive ? I was looking at getting a LiteOn brand since my DVD rom on my PC is a LiteOn & have been happy w/ it.
I would like to get one that will also be able to write DL as well, like my previuos one did, or does just depend on the backup software used ?
Forgot to mention that I did use different medias. Verbatim-R's ( which I've used for years on my Plextor w/ excellent results) & also Sony CD-R's.
both w/ same results.
Again will all dvd burners now burn DL format ?

The burner has to be able to write DL, but you also need the software to be able to write DL

Makes sense.
Am using Nero Recode,w/ AnyDVD & also CloneDVD w/ AnyDVD. They all can do DL need to make sure my next burner can do as well.
Any suggestions on a reliable DVD writer ? Cheap ?

Man I remember when I bought my Plextor 716-A 3 1/2 yrs. ago, Cost me a little over $100 back then.
