Where are you guys buying your blank discs. Any suggestions on where I can buy Verbatims dual layer blanks at a reasonable price? Thanks in advance

I've been making copys of my new discs using Shrink (v3.2) and Imgburn (v2.3). I usually rip to a iso file that I designate to my desktop. From there I drag it into Imgburn set in the 'write' mode. Once I insert a blank disc (Verbatim) and click on little burn icon, it automatically starts the process. I never have a choice of layer break point. As a result, I'm freezing at most of my break points. Any help would be most appreciated. Below is my latest copy that froze up. I 15:41:03 ImgBurn Version 2.2.0.0 started!

Cornholio7, You were absolutely right. I must have had 2 of Imgburns open. I must of had the forum sitting on my taskbar. Anyhow, I started from scratch with only the one I was using, and low and behold it worked flawlessly. Thanks a million

no

I went to sysinternals.com, went through the process to find this: Imgburn 1212 Handle\Device\cdrom0 Imgburn 2836 Handle\Devise\cdrom0

wanted a copy of my new 'Open Season' DVD. I couldn't open it in Shrink, so I made an iso in DVDFab. When I tried to open in Imgburn, I received a error message: DeviceIoControl (FSCTL_Lock_Volume) Failed!

I was hoping you'd come to my rescue UK, Thanks. Changing the mode from build to write brings the file into Imgburn, but everything is basically greyed out so I can't established a location for a layerbreak. The "WRITE" icons on the bottom left are also greyed out. Sorry I forgot to insert a blank DVD. I don't see the calculator to establish layerbreak. Thanks Answered my own question, just hit the "write" icon

I"ve just created an iso file of "The Ant Bully" using DVDshrink/Imgburn. The file locates on my desktop. When I click on the backup icon in Shrink I have it set to "iso image file and burn with Imgburn" as the target backup. I have the target image file as THE_ANT_BULLY.ISO being sent to the desktop. Do I have that setup right? Because when I drag it into Imgburn, I get an error message "cannot add file to image" because file exceeds size limit imposed by the iso9660 file system.
