According to the specs on the drive it should handle DVD-R media OK. So I
would suggest trying different media. Perhaps the media you have is not
supported by the firmware in the drive properly. You might also check for
a firmware update as well for the drive. Since it is working with DVD+RW
and CD-R/RW type media, it only really leaves the DVD-R media itself.
Perhaps it will be of some help.
