    I have a lite on shw-160p6s dvd burner,I tried burning a game on a memorex dual layer dvd using clone cd,It will start but after about a minute an error comes up "writing to lite-on dvdrw shw-160p6s failed"I was wondering why this failure would come up?I updated my drives firmware thinking it was a problem but I still had no luck.Thanks

    I hate to tell you legend, but it's likely your media. Memorex discs are touch and go, especially with dual layers. Your best bet is to buy better quality media, like Verbatim. Also, be sure you burn dual layers no higher than 4x. You ensure a better chance of getting a successful burn.

    The trusted method for DL burning is using Verbatim blank media and Imgburn.
