LiteOn EX-DUB 20x gives me Writing File Error

Thats a very unusual problem. I have had this drive in the past and apart from being noisy as all lite-on's seem to be it has given great service. the only suggestion i can make is that you update the firmware by going onto Lite on's site and download the latest revision of firmware. if still the same then can only assume the drive or your burning software is corrupt.

ebay

Possibly a broken belt.If you use a paper clip to open the tray (emergency procedure )
Will the disc play etc

It seems that its a NEC Itunes issue and i itunes dont seem to want 2 know..sorry cant help you more

you need to launch the lightscribe software, insert the disk upside down (opposite to what we use when burning data into disk), select the image in the software and start burning.

give it a tap on the bottom as you press the button, this will force it to release the disc,

I had the same issue with a liteon DVD drive I had. It worked fine and then one day it couldn't write to a DVD if I paid it to. I troubleshooted it for a few days, installed all the latest updates and patches and still nothing. From what I could tell, it baiscally died. So fortunately Liteons are relatively cheap so I just went out and got another LiteOn and it worked just fine. I would consider purchasing a new Drive.

Your only solution would be to do an internet search for open source dvd authoring software. If you just want to copy and burn dvd's there is a lot of open source software, you just have to try them out to see what fits your needs. Open source is free.

You shouldn't need it unless your needing the Nero program that came with it.

If thats what you need will have to contact lite-on to get one.

Here is the web link to get drivers and software if you need it:
