Verbatim a no-go. Will wait for an email from HP to see if they can help me out with drivers and whatnot. I 21:00:29 ImgBurn Version 2.4.0.0 started!

I can't even complete the first step of the instructions: "Click Start , Programs , Hewlett-Packard , HP DVD and then choose HP DVD to start the HP DVD Writer menu of software selections." There's no "Hewlett-Packard" section of my start menu.... argh! I'm gonna try to burn once more with a Verbatim disc, and then I'm gonna email HP to see what's the deal with my installation and firm-ware.

Nope. Here's the log, will go and buy some Verbatim to see if there's any credence to those who swear by em. I 15:49:49 Operation Started!

I also had a friend who once had this problem. He says the program doesn't recognize the media, and I need a patch of some sorts to get it to work. Neither of us are too tech savvy, so there's little help there. Anyone know of this simple fix? Forgive my greenhorns.

Hey, another new one here wondering if you could help out. I used to use dvddecrypter with no problems, but then it started bugging and I switched to imgburn. Still problems. I used to use Memorex, Philips, HP, and Verbatim disks with no problems. Now I have two kinds: HP and Fujifilm. Both don't work. I use an HPdvd1040 burner. Here's a recent log of a burn which quit real early, instead of the typical 100% and then fail to verify burn. I 23:00:51 ImgBurn Version 2.4.0.0 started!
