Well I can't go out and buy a cleaner now so I just sort of blew into the drive and it worked. So either I just got lucky or it really does need cleaning but I'm gunna go ahead and buy a cleaning disc very soon and hopefully this will end my problems. And yes my drive is pretty damn old but I'm trying to work with what I got here but if all else fails I guess ill buy a new one.

I'm having trouble burning some media. I'm burning on Dual Layer Verbatims DVD+R DL. This problem sometimes occurs and sometimes doesn't but it's really pissing me off especially since I have about 5 wasted DVDs in my trash can! I 22:17:51 ImgBurn Version 2.5.1.0 started!
