That sucks. It's hard to believe.

What program do you use to burn? Are you using a PC or Mac?

I always use ImgBurn on a PC. they also spit out some single layer discs too saying incompatible media (even though i only use either Verbatim or Tayo Yuden discs) but the same discs that were spit out by the pioneer burn without problems with my LG. The 2 SATA pioneer drives i have are useless (one has the latest firmware, the other the original version that it was shipped with). A few people have had problems with Pioneer SATA drives, but pioneer just say that its problems with system drivers being out of date, which my systems have all the latest drivers. Strange thing though is that the drive with the older firmware burns a lot better than the one with the latest firmware so my thoughts are that its nothing to do with system drivers but is instead to do with pioneers firmware. I just crossed flashed my one drive from a 215D to a 215 and funnily enough its started to burn dual layer, but is still too picky on media. My advise is to stay clear of SATA DVD drives. Never had a problem with any of the Pioneer IDE drives i've ever had, but i'm sticking with my LG drive.
