davexnet Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hello, I attempted to write a couple of small files to a dvd-rw, but it appeared to hang at 99% into the burn. (I cancelled it after 3 or 4 minutes) The files were only about 100MB in total. I recreated this problem on more than one dvd-rw. However, when you write a bigger set of files to the disk (eg. 4GB) the problem does not occur. The Imgburn settings are at default, latest release. Is Imgburn doing something different/extra when it is a small compilation of files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Don't cancel it, the drive will be burning 1GB of *something* (I don't know what exactly) to the disc regardless of how much/little you think you're burning. It'll eventually finish and your disc will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davexnet Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Thank you Lightning UK! I remember seeing this mentioned in Nero 6 (years ago) - something about "compatibility". I didn't realize your program did it also. There are quite a few old posts mentioning this "99% hang". I wonder if some of those are due to this very reason?

LIGHTNING UK! Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 It's something the drive does, not the program... well, not for DVD-RW media anyway. Not many people burn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
