    I'm having trouble with my Pioneer 108 dvd/rw. When I'm burning dvds every 3rd or 4th fails. The drive is only only 2 months old and i've had no problems until this week. I'm using XP and Nero. Its an external drive pluged into a USB2 port. Would a firmware update solve anything? Or what can I do?

    Yeah I thought it might be the disks at first but I've tried three differant types,
    {DV 3192} Ritek Inkjet Printable (8x) ADVDINFO: .RITEKG..05
    {DV 3141} ANV Ritek A-Grade (8x) ADVDINFO: .RITEKG..05
    {DV 3121} Datawrite Grey (8x)

    All with the same results, I usually burn them at 8x but I've got a few bad ones at 4x too

    yeah you seem to have a bit of a burning problem.
    are you burning 8 speed from dvd to writer? or from an image?
    if burning on the fly i recomend alchol 120 never lets me down
    how much were you paying for the 8 x riteks

    if youre interested 100 grade AA
    RITEKS 45euro.have a few hundred.
    8 speeds.

    are you ripping the origanals? or burning from dvd r to image then to dvdr
    if so use dvd decrypter.
    anv media are not great to be honest.

    no worries mate i use a hell of a lot of them so i buy big.
    i split what i dont use and flog them on here.
    i do a lot of pop/rock bands promo videos to dvd for demos etc and i will not use rubbish media.
    the 108 is a good piece of hardware.
    i got the 109 same spec but writes dvdrws a little faster.
    this guy on here may have software problems
    nero etc have certin faults with confliction of other programs
    well thats what i have noticed
