I surely hope it isn't going on me now. I just bought this comp and only been burning this month and never before. I will try those suggestions, if I know how to...lol. Then I will let you know. Thanks Lightning!

Thanks for the help everyone. I just don't understand why the drive would do that after burning loads of dvds on the discs I am using now. Mine are Memorex DVD+R RW. After burning 30 movies or so, do you still think it's the brand of discs? My burner had also burned DVD- too. So in a way, I dunno if it perfers + or - lol. Sounds like the drive has a mind of it's own. Scary thought...lol. Oh and when it would burn a movie, it would burn one and then the next one would fail. It would repeat that same cycle occasionally.

Ok I changed my write speed to 8x and disabled anydvd. It started to burn a little and once again just before round 2 I got these. Honestly I am getting a tad fustrated because of all the blank dvds I am going through...lol. I am going to sleep for a while and check back later and see if you lot have any other ideas or suggestions. Thanks again!

I just had everything I wanted to say and it disappeared. Wow..lol. I am not the great at understanding somethings, so please bare with me...lol. About changing the 4x..etc. I don't get or dunno how to I shall say. As for anydvd, I only use it to help with some dvds that are a pain in the bum to get. So if I disable it while burning, could it help? Thanks for everything so far...lol. Is new to the whole burning thing.

This is exactly what mine looks like.

I to, am getting this message. Different of course because of different computers. What is making it do this? I've done loads of dvds without a problem. Now I am lucky if I get one at all. Mine usually gives the message about 8 to 9%. It'll go through the first round but the second is when I get this message. I also upgraded the latest version. Any help?
