You are burning an 8X DVD+R DL disc that is produced by an inverse stack method at 1X, too slow a speed to work properly. Try 4X. If that doesn't work, your drive may not be able to record inverse stack discs; and you will have to switch to photo-polymer discs. Verbatim is still using the 2P process, so try those DL discs to see if you get better results.
Ok thanks ill try that. also my drive is a optiarc bd rom bc-5500s is there any way you can tell if its capable or not? i just updated to firmware to 1.77 from 1.75 for it and its supposed to have dl support now, at least that what the update said.
hey buddy im not a pro and u may have already thought this but i had a very similar problem and i tried everything possible i tried getting tech support EVERYTHING!!!! tech support couldn get it either finally he said my drive was bad i then installed a new drive worked perfect.and on the old one i had burned anything and everything cds,dvds,dvd dls hundreds of them it was jus wore out lol i know this doesnt help much but it jus may save u some frustration lol. i hope u get it figured out
I tried again at 4x and still no dice: I 16:42:57 Operation Started!

Try Verbatim DVD+R DL. Your drive is having problems on the first layer that, to the drive, is "upside down" because the disc is an inverse stack DL disc. Verbatim, I believe, is still using the 2P process for all of its DL discs. If the drive can't write to Verbatim DL discs, it may be time for a new DL drive.
