    Ummm, what media are you getting the error with? Brand/rated speed/+R or -R would help.

    I had a similar problem with the same NEC burner.

    Check what firmware you are currently using on the burner.

    If required update via the German NEC site - www.necd.de V 1.09 I think is the latest.

    It's a small file that can be run from within windows

    Good Luck

    I got an invalid media message when i tried to burn using dvd x copy platinum. I was using what i thought was 4x media but it turns out they were 2x, that's why i got the message!

    Hi,

    The firmware seems to be ok on an OEM model - mine is an oem and works ok.
