darth - I would absolutely pick up some new discs. I’ve always been recommended to use quality discs…too much headache and time wasted when you use the cheap stuff and get failures. Now I will say, I might consider getting some less expensive but quality DVDs too. I’d burn a few DVDs first to see if you run into the same issue - if so then it’s a burner/software issue and you haven’t wasted more BDs. I did check out the Best Buy website and without the exact model number provided, I think you have the same drive as I. I looked at the pioneer website and there is a firmware update for it, as well as a drive utility software that lets you play around with drive speeds (especially reading speeds). I think I am running the original firmware, and only downloaded the drive utility.

I double checked - yeah, I’m using the windows 10 installed driver (10.0.10586.0) from 6/21/2006. Been working fine so I haven’t rocked the boat.

EDIT: OK - Odd the firmware listed above is the one found in the widows device manager. Imgburn is telling me the drive is using 3.01 the latest from pioneer - so maybe I did update it.
