I had bought a Life Series edition of of Verbatim DVDs and attempted to burn a PS2 iso into them, after many failed attempts at changing write speeds, different software and different computer/DVD drives, I started noticing a pattern of errors saying either it couldn't determine the error or an incompatible format error.
So I assumed that the Life Series disks were no good and bought some regular ones. Only to have the same error on Img Burn of an incompatible format, even though I previously had success with these DVDs, and ImgBurn and Alcohol120% and the same DVD/CD drive (MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ8D1), for burning PS2 isos.
Also I'm attempting to burn an iso file that I previously had success in burning, so I don't know what's going on.
Here is my latest log file (I'm using windows10 not 8):
