Hey everyone. So I upgraded to Snow Leopard the day it was released (completely legitimate version), and it worked flawlessly. So far I have been incredibly impressed with the experience, other than that I CANNOT burn a DVD+R, DVD-R, or read a commercial DVD for the life of me. Here are my specs:

HL-DT-ST DVDRW GSA-S10N:

Firmware Revision: AP12

Interconnect: ATAPI

Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)

Cache: 2048 KB

Reads DVD: Yes

CD-Write: -R, -RW

DVD-Write: -R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW

Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, CD-Raw, DVD-DAO

Media: To show the available burn speeds, insert a disc and choose View > Refresh

It is working perfectly to burn countless CDs and read/rip CDs as well, but it just pops out all DVDs or reports a "medium error" on all burns. There is a large Apple discussion thread on this: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa...

I know the drive is not broken as I honestly burned a DVD just before upgrading and it worked perfectly. Since the upgrade, 4 burning programs and 4 different kinds of DVDs will not combine to work. Any suggestions?
