    I've got a LiteOn LH-20A1L

    Which lists compatibility for DVDs

    • DVD+R 20X
      DVD+RW 8X
      DVD-R 20X
      DVD-RW 6X
      CD-R 48X
      CD-RW 32X
      DVD+R DL 8X
      DVD-R DL 8X

      DVD-RAM 12X

    Yet it doesn't detect either DVD-R DL or DVD+R DLs

    I have some verbatim DVD-R DLs

    I think these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...gle-_-CD/DVD+R/RW+Media-_-VERBATIM-_-17507001

    Yet, my burner didn't recognize those.

    So I tried out some Sony

    DVD+R DL 8.5GB media and that shit isn't recognized either :confused:

    Anyone have any ideas? I used Nero InfoTool and it says my drive supports +R DL and -R DL ???

    Try updating firmware first.

    a reinstallations of any new burning software along with a reinstallation of the drivers may do the trick as well:)

    Laser may be dead. I had the same burner and i could
    not wake it up.I reinstall firmware, email dealer,
    finally it all came down to the laser.
    Check the warranty, if less than a year,you might be able
    to get a replacement.You will need the receipt or
    order number if bought online.Never delete your online purchases
    if under warranty,

    Good Luck
