DVD burner no longer works

My DVD burner will no longer burn DVD's. It picks them up, but once the burning starts it stops and ejects the disk and instructs to put in a new disk. I have tried a few different brands of blank DVDs, including the same ones (off the same spindle) that used to work just fine. I am using the correct DVD+R media for this burner. My system is a Dell Dimension 8400, and the burner is a Philips 8601. I normally use Sonic Record Now! but tried a different software to see if that was the problem, and that did not work either.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

I suggest you review the discussion at this web site: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/110557

I think you might need a flash update. They provide a link for the manual on that site too, and you should download that for starters.

If all else fails, buy another burner. DVD burners are cheap at computer shows - $35 to $40. How much is your time worth - that's the real question when it comes to tracking down a hardware/software problem.

Good luck.
