Why does my dvd flick imgburn say device not ready medium not present?

There are two types of DVD's, have ever used this before for anything else?

It may not be compatible for our computer you may need a DVD-RW.

Medium not present, usually means there is no disk suitable for the job in hand inserted in the drive.
Have you got a right type of disk

Make sure you purchased the right kind of DVD, and that your drive can handle DVDs, not all of them can.

Did you install the drivers? (The CD that comes with the LG burner?)

It could be lower quality media that the drive does not like for 16x writing. I would try a higher quality blank DVD. It could also be the software you are using. I recommend imgburn from http://www.imgburn.com/ which is a great little free app. This program is a very no nonsense burning app without the bloat of most other programs.

If you buy a single or 5 pack of high end media and use imgburn yet it still will not burn at 16x speeds I would contact Mad Dog as you may have a bad drive.

Try ImgBurn. Its freeware and is guaranteed by Softpedia.com to contain no spyware, viruses, or adware. I use it all the time to burn data files to cd's, dvd's, and dvd-dl. It can also burn blu-ray. Anyway, perhaps best of all, it only takes up 2mb on your hard drive (unlike some other companies I won't mention here that can bloat your computer with over 400mb of hd space). If you don't care about making fancy covers then this should work for your computer and .

Try using a programme called dvd flick http://www.dvdflick.net/ to author your dvds and use imgburn http://www.imgburn.com/ to burn them. I had similar kind of problem with dvds burned with nero and now use dvd flick and imgburn all the time and have had no problems. They are both free programmes so hopefully they will sort the problem out for you :)
