Unable to write 8.5 DVD-R Dual layer dvds using Sonic

All, I'm unable to write 8.5 DVD-R Dual layer dvds using Sonic. The dvd writer cannot find the blank double layer 8.5 dvd-r.
 
I'm using a DELL D620 with the latest firmware upgrade for the dvd writer.

What drive is in the D620?  That's a fairly new computer so it should support writing to DL media.
 
Have you checked Sonic for software updates?
 
Slimline drives can be picky when i comes to DL media.  Stick with a good quality name brand.  I've had good luck with Verbatim DVD+R DL media with my E1505 and it's Sony drive.

if you are using dvd-r dual layer dvds then I suspect your drive doesn't support that format. it should however be compatible with dvd+r dual layer disks.

Thanks all for the information. I'll get some DVD+R 8.5 disks.
 
Thanks again.
