"yeah maxell may most likely be the problem. will these disc burn fine with
dvdfab 3180 or other writing programs? your error means 16 HWS_WRITINGFAILED // Writing failed (write error or process aborted). does your writer recognize the disc correctly with
dvd identifier? can you post a screen shot? a cdfreaks member has recently posted a comment describing the failure of the vso burning engine with v4 which was not present with v3 of fab. lets wait and see this updated!?! "
RESPONSE:

I actually tried the burn with Verbatim media and after a coaster, switched to MAXELL. Neither one worked. Under DVD Fab 3.xxx it you could immediately see the burn commence now NOTHING happens for several minutes (no drive light nothing) and then the drive spins and after a time you get the failed burn error 116.
Very frustrating! 3.2 hours in this so far. I so want my DVD FAB back.[/i][/i]
