DVD recorder: LG GSA-4160B


This is my DVD burner :http://www.tomshw.it/storage.php?gui...dvd_burners-03

Does anybody has the same?
I have some problems with DVD -R 16X. K3B write them at 4X.
And there is no way to see Dual Layer DVD. I bought a Verbatim DVD-R 8,56GB 4X, but when i insert it in the DVD burner K3b freeze.
Any suggestions?

According to the info at that link:
Quote:
Writing
* CD-R: 40x
* CD-RW: 24x
* DVD-RAM: 5x
* DVD-R: 8x
* DVD+R: 16x
* DVD-RW: 4x
* DVD+RW: 4x
* DVD+R DL: 2.4x
It cannot burn DVD-R at 16x, and does not support DVD-R DL at all.

It should take 8 to 10 minutes to burn a DVD-R at 8x.

Thank you!
I thought of something like firmware upgrade.

DVD -R 8x: With K3b the max write speed is 4x for DVD 16x.

Bye bye

That's max selectable speed, but leaving the setting on "Auto" gives me a full DVD written, fixated & ejected in 6 minutes 30 seconds. By my calculation this is around 12x, which (going by a lot of different forum posts) is the maximum most people get with 16x -R media anyway.

I have the same drive. I burn DVD-Rs at 4X too, but I believe it was burning at 8X for some BenQ media a few months back. I need to try it again sometime.

Unhappy LGE GSA 4163B dvd burner

I have an LGE 4163B, I assume very similar to the 4160.

I have upgraded to the latest firmware (A105) but I have had mixed results burning dual layer DVD's. The problem is at the layer switch; playback of movies will stop at the switch, and has to be restarted at a few seconds to several minutes past the switch.

I am using k3b on FC4, and ridata +R DL media (maybe my problem).
k3b always reports a successful burn w/o error, but then I have problems at the switch...
