"Sometimes bitsetting can solve playback problems in stand alone players."
I'm not sure how that is done? I'm pretty much a noob to burning. If you can tell me how to access that setting that would be great.
Also, thanks for the download link. I wasn't aware of an upgrade. I'm gonna look into it.
Finally after re-inserting this "blank" disc into my burner and opening Imgburn i get this in the window on the right in write mode
