Will get a lens cleaning kit and see what happens. Can I get a copy of 2.4.4.0 from you and see if the writer is still giving same problems. (It all seemed to be working fine until I installed 2.5.0.0) Regards Phil

Update your burner's firmware (remove any disc and close the tray before updating then reboot after it's finished). Does it help with your problem?

Have installed 2.5.0.0 and are now unable to cut Verbatim 8x DVD+R DL discs when I load them I get either disk not empty or disc drive just keeps on going with 2.4.4.0 I had no problems at all using HT-DT-DT DVD+-RW GSA H31N works on all types of single layer. Have I missed a trick on any settings Be grateful for any advice Regards Phil

Thanks so far..... I can see the following (All 8 files have addition buffers to bring them to 2048 multiples) Bytes Difference Size 3,706,789,888 Size on disk 3,706,806,272 16,384 System files like TOC and buffering Image File 3,707,404,288 598,016 Its the System files and buffering bit I want to calculate

Would really like to know how to calculate IMAGE SIZE so I can decide whether I need a Single or Dual disc. Logs is I 11:31:48 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started!
