I am experiencing problem with SONY DVD RW DRU-500A dvd writer. I was trying to burn Dvd, i am always getting the same problem from k3b : found no media,
please insert an empty double layer dvd. I used different dvd's but always the same problem. I can write cd disk, see below the detailed output from the k3b. Also see the output from the k3b when i am trying to write dvd. I got this output when i am trying to force k3b to write dvd.
Also do not understand why k3b asking to insert double layer dvd, i am trying to write test data ~ 300mv on 4.7 blank dvd ???
Please, suggest any other solutions to my problems. thank in advance.
