Strange DVD burner problem GSA-4081

I have the GSA-4081B dvd burner it has been working great but today something very strange started to happen. I usually burn CD-Rs with Nero at 16x with no problems however today I kept getting this message Failed to create disk at once, sometimes at 25 percent sometimes 70 percent it would stop and give me that message. I kept getting this message and I tried like 5 cd-rs. I have used these cd-rs before they are memorex and i have had no problems. So I changed the write speed from 16x to 8x and it seemed to work fine no more problems. But this has me a little worried is the dvd burner about to die or something?

Well after going to the LG forum and reading about the 4081b it seems as if alot of people are having the same problems. This burner just sucks anyways can u guys recommend another burner i can get for about 50 to 60 dollars with the same or better capabilities as the 4081b? thnx

Some burners are fussy. Instead of replacing the burner, try different discs. Apparently you haven't had probs in the past...have you ever used Memorex before?
