DVD drive not dectecting my blank media?

My DVD burner is not recognizing any of my media. I originally thought it was because my software but that is not the problem. I recently tried to burn something with DVD Santa, Clone DVD, and DVDfab Platinum and they all did the same thing.

What happens:
After any program that I use has finished the encoding process and it's time to to burn it tells me to insert blank media. When I insert blank media nothing happens. I have let it sit for up to 15 minutes. And I have used virtually every type of blank media so that's not the problem. I have some sort of LG DVD Burner. I don't know anything about updating firmware so that may be the issue.

*Note: I am able to burn CDs with the writer but not DVDs.
