Please if somebody can help me i would be much thankfull, i am so pissed right now

Which burner(DVD burners are dirt cheap...) and what DVD+R DL disk(use DVD Identifier to get ID)?
I have a few cake boxes of DVD+R DL blanks, although they're nowhere as cheap as plain DVD+R they aren't that expensive as you describe them to be.

i cannot use any software for burning (Nero, CloneCD, imgBurn)

What error did Nero spit out? Burning failed?

 

[Edi]

something about target area error

i must use dual layers becouse i am burning games for my xbox360
i use only verbatim and traxdata dvds

Does it work besides writing double layer? Does it burn anything else?

 

[Edi]

nope, nothing, i said that in tha post up there, maybe is my system wrong,
i am building a new computer now, it will be a monster, i will try then, maybe is my motherboard wrong, i dont know,
becouse my old burner works ok, yesterday i was burning some DVDs and it was OK

what do you think, anybody?

You got a dud - it happens. I've read some pretty bad reviews of Pioneer's quality control of late. You could try updating the firmware, but there is no guarantee it will have any effect.

sorry, but what is a DUD, i am not such in computer hardware and software :S

i live in thought that my software is wrong for that and maybe the motherboard
cuz i am now getting some new computer, and i hope it will work on new one,

i have heard that the pioneer burners are a quite good ones, not the best but in that range :S
