Hi, I recently bought a Pioneer DVR-109 burner. I flashed it to the latest bios provided by the manufacturer. The disc burns and I can see that on the dvd there is data that is written on. But when the burn process hits 100% instead of saying finished, it says Burn Process Started, click next then it says Burn Failed. Here is my log.

1) Set DMA to 'on' 2) Try burn at lower speed (e.g. 2-4x) 3) If you want to burn an entire dvd, try use Nero Recode instead. Good luck!
