New Kid on the Block

thank you both very much for all of your input. I'll try it some more tonight and see what happens sorry if I drove you guys nuts with inferior questions. but after a week of this, haha, I was beginning to lose it. i'll let you know how it turns out!

hey man, thanks so much for the help. no one else ever has any advice to give me, either dont want to or dont have any haha... anyhow, I upgraded to YYS6 firware for my drive. do you think that will fix my problem based on that log earlier? i cant change the discs yet, still have 24... haha.

ok, by firmware, do you mean that my dvd burner isnt real good? bc i just had it installed like 2 days ago? or do I just go somewhere to update the firmware?

I tried using ImgBurn to burn an .ISO file on to a Dvd-R disc, and it said finished completely. but when i try to observe it says unreadable. any thoughts guys? what am I missing?

Hey guys, I'm new to downloading movies and buring them and i'm having some troulbe to say the least. i've downloaded a movie from torrentspy.com. I direct the burner what foldrs to go through and everything to be abel to burn the movie from its location. but I can never see it in the folder unless i select Files of type: ALL FILES. then when i do that the invalid or unsupported image file format comes up. soo, how do I rectify this situation? any ideas? I'd be very appreciative of anyones help. I've downloaded like 3 burners and keep having this trouble. thanks in advance everyone
