Perhaps those media arent compatible with the drive. Is the Moser Baer written in gray or the usual Red and Black colors ? The gray ones are fake and wont burn :(

itz orginal and written in red and black also comes with packing i bought something around 10 discs its waste now as my drive writes none ,,,,

being asus company they should have fixed the problem in firmware upgrade ..i will never buy asus drives again iplanning to sell that and swith to liteon or sony
