According to the specs on the drive it should handle DVD-R media OK. So I would suggest trying different media. Perhaps the media you have is not supported by the firmware in the drive properly. You might also check for a firmware update as well for the drive. Since it is working with DVD+RW and CD-R/RW type media, it only really leaves the DVD-R media itself. Perhaps it will be of some help.
