Yeah it's called you are using inferrior quality media. If it even works at all at 2.4x you should be thankful. If higher speed is a must you definitely need to get some Verbatim D/L DVD+R.

The test means absolutely nothing if you scanned it with your Pioneer 111D. Only Lite-On, Plextor and Benq support accurate error rate scans. Do you happen to have a Lite-On or Plextor drive lying around (Benq don't tend to do well with scanning discs that are burned by other drives). BTW what are the specs on your PC? I still say it's a media issue or poor firmware support for that particular media. Sorry man, but it has been proven time and time again that Verbatim (MKM001 or MKM003) are by far the best quality D/L media for both durability and compatibility. It could also be that you are using that buggy POS (aka Nero 7). Do you happen to have Image Burn or DVD Decrypter that you could try using to do your burns?

You know, what was so strange.

I opened Nero CD-DVD speed 4.60 and clicked on Write Info, and the write speeds for:

Verbatim 2.4x (MKM001) Certified are: 2.4x 4x 6x 8x (higher then mentioned on the disk)
Platinum 8x (CMC MAG D04) is: 2.4x :-(((((

So for the so called 8x speed Platinum the max. speed is 2.4x

?

Strange, very strange.

Like I said, cheap media. That is one of the many indicators. It claims to be a certain write speed but with most setups it writes much slower. The deal with the Verbatim is that the MKM001 is officially rated at 2.4x but the vast majority of setups these days will write them at up to 8x, to error on the side of caution though they still rate them at 2.4x. My guess is that the Platinum do just the opposite.

It should be DMA if available mode. Have you tried another program? Also what jumper settings do you have on the drive and what are your PC specs?
