i cannot burn minus dvd's but have no problem with plus dvd's or dual layer or cdr, i can read from minus dvd's but when i burn to a minus dvd it locks up at 2% everytime, i have tried all kinds of media which perfect on the same drives with xp, but not on my laptop with vista.
any ideas apart from the obvious and just use plus dvd's?
here is a log from imageburn. BTW i have also tried disc at once with exact same results.
