My Sony DVDRW D56A for some reason burns CDRs, but not DVDRs. My friend told me I should change my media brand, so I switched from Memorex to TDK DVDRs, yet… the problem still persists.
This is where in the log file the problems start happening:

Anybody have any ideas? I haven’t upgraded the firmware, but I hear that the PSD6 verison firmware is really shotty for this optical drive.
