If you are having trouble burning with both programs this could be an issue with the drive its self.

How long have you had the drive for. I normally have to replace my burner about every 3 to 4 years.

Do you have access to another drive that you can try in your computer or another computer that you can try your drive in to see if you get the same problem.

Did you install the software that came on the CD-ROM that came with the LG device?

What software are you using to view your DVD? PowerDVD? VLC? Other?

I had the exact same problem with my LG model GH22LP20 DVD drive. This is how I solved my problem:

I finally solved this problem. It was a Cyberlink software problem; specifically the software bundled with my DVD which was a Cyberlink Suite w/ PowerDVD 7.0.

After going 3 - 4 rounds, via email, with Cyberlink tech support in India I finally got them to put down their "100,001 mindless ways to solve a software problem" manual and they emailed me a link to download a slightly newer version of the software; it was Cyberlink Hi-Def Suite, w/ PowerDVD 7.3.

I uninstalled my bundled software, and installed the newer software they gave me. After installing the newer software everything worked perfectly. If you're still having problems and have the same software version I started with, keep bugging Cyberlink tech support (be patient and diligent) until they acknowledge it's a software problem and send you a download link for a newer version. Good luck!

this vary with different made and models.check your manual to confirm the speed.Most of these are classified in terms of writing speed, reading speed etc.It is nothing to worry about,...

Try this site it is LG http://www.lge.com/products/category/list/computer%20products_optical%20storage_super%20multi%20dvd%20rewriter.jhtml
I would appreciate your positive rating

Do you have skipping on every DVD/CD you burn? If so, then you're probably experiencing what's called 'buffer underrun'. When that happens, the burner writes faster than the computer can send it information, resulting in skipping. In the program you use, look for the 'burn options' and change the speed from 'automatic' to a manual, slower setting. That should fix your problem.

maybe dvd codecs. serach it in google

Use Uniblue Driver 2009 cracked from loadevery.com

If it don't work then there must be the problem with DVD RW

Ok some where on the DVD drive ther is a diagram of those 6 pins and the jumper. Or if you look on the bottom and the top of the drive you may see 3 abbreviations as follow MA, SL, CS. Place the jumper verticle on the pins that are directly above or below CS. That refers to those pins for the jumper to be on for the drive to be set to Cable Select mode. Cable Select means whatever part of the cable the drive is on it will automatically set the drive to Master or Slave.

the computer should recognize it as a dvd-device though, if not windows is giving u trouble,
so try using any other
freeware burn program like nero or burnatonce to burn,
u necessarily need the original software.
to get anew copy of software email the manufacturer, then post send the cd in exchange for a newer one or look on th homepage if they have something fittng your drive- model and operation system ready to download...

good luck

Optical drives (at least all modern one's) do not require a driver when run in a Windows environment. The OS provides the support automatically. Is the drive shown/listed in My Computer?
