5.0 - DVDR - 206 errors

[erikober]

I am running Workgroup 5.0 on a B/W G3 and archiving to an external firewire QPS DVD-CDRW which has a Pioneer 103 mechanism. I have successfully written to 3 DVD-Rs and intermittently no success on four other attempts to the exact same type of media. I receive an "error 206-trouble writing hardware error, bad media, dirty heads". I haven't had one error when burning DVD-R through Toast Titanium. Just out of curiosity I set up the same configuration on a different machine running OS 10.1.3. The OS X version of Retrospect came up with this error:

 

"Internal consistency check failed: Assertion check @ dev.c-1047"

 

 

 

Any ideas out there?

 

 

 

thanks.

 

 

 

BTW, I unpleasantly discovered that Dantz will not offer free support for this new 5.0 product because I purchased an upgrade instead of the full version. The upgrade won't do me much good if I can't make it work consistently. So much for standing behind your product.
