Yes. Thanks for your thoughts.
I feel Wavelab has just never “Got On” with the LG drive.
I can burn data DVDs & audio CDs from windows.
I can save a DDP image from WL, and this will burn fine with other software.
Any how … the latest is … I just burnt my first ever audio cd on this drive using Wavelab 8 !!
I got a short Usb cable, plugged it into my (recently acquired) Usb3 card in my Daw … and tried burning a data DVD from windows 8 first. That went fine.
Loaded WL8 & thought I’d rip an audio cd using the LG & WL8 first, then try burning it again.
Trying to Rip, when I select the LG drive as source, wavelab instantly crashes (while reading isrc codes I think ?)
I tried 5 times with reboots & WL8 crashes the same every time.
So I did the rip using my internal trusty Pioneer burner.
For a giggle I tried burning from WL8 using the LG … and lo & behold it only blooming worked !!
As Usb burners do seem to work for some, and as they aren’t too expensive, I’ve just ordered a Samsung Usb DVD burner to see how I get on with that.
I’ll keep ye posted. Thanks again.
