Hi all

I am having issues with Verbatim DVD DL+R 8.4 Gig media.. I've been using these for ages, and not had any trouble.

Am getting a bunch of "illegal requests" and "medium error" from burning software. what do you reckon ? just bad media, or should i look into service ?


I tried switching to RiTek,, but that was worse. .

I've done SMC reset and PRAM reset, and didn't help...

I've gone though about 10 discs already from Verbatim, and not helping... so i'm assuming its probably the drive...

I have had my Mac for few years (without needing service), so i wouldn't be surprised if this was the case.
