The "usual" recommendation for dual layer is Verbatim... so you could have a bad disc, or a drive developing a hardware failure
What happens if you have Encore write an ISO to your hard drive, then use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to the ISO to disc?

lisaellensegal Jun 2, 2011 4:11 PM (in response to John T Smith)First, I am going to try to find another brand disc. Second, I will try to write an ISO (is that an image) and then burn using another program. I am successful writing to a standard dvd which leads me to dismiss the hardware. I did update my bios as well.
Thanks for the response.

Yes, most SenseCode Errors are either the blank media, or a hardware issue with the multi-drive.
Ritek was once a respected producer of blank media. Judging by the number of complaints on the Internet, that seems to not be the case now. They, and TDK (also once respected), appear to have adopted the Memorex "business plan," of buying the cheapest media that day, and then rebranding it.
Good luck, and I have had 100% good luck with Verbatim's DL blank media.

That is great news, and thank you for reporting.
I have had 100% success with Verbatims for all of my DL (DVD-9) Projects, and many others have similar reports. I use Taiyo-Yuden for my DVD-5 Projects, with the same success. I only hope that neither changes their production and distribution, as some other mfgrs. have done.
Good luck, and happy authoring,
Hunt
