Thanks for the suggestion. I am copying the VHS tapes onto DVD+RWs, which do not need to be finalized like the +R and -R disks. The RW disks work better in the recorder. I am burning them onto +R disks. Like I said, it was working like a charm - and quickly - until yesterday. I wonder if there is something else - a virus or something - going on because the only way I could escape from the endless reading mode was to manually turn off the computer. Telling ImgBurn I wanted to end did nothing - even after 30 minutes. I will try to attach a log, but not sure if I can figure it out. We'll see.

I am a total novice, so please forgive. imgburn was working great when Nero failed me. Project is to copy VHS tapes onto a DVD, then burn copies using the computer and imgburn. (These are home movies) I selected 'Read' , an ISO file 'SONATA' automatically appeared as the destination - it worked so I left it there. When the read was completed, I selected 'Write', put in a blank DVD, and the DVD would burn. I then deleted the file before starting the next one. Today it won't read. It is set at MAX read speed. The buffer goes to 100%, but read stays at 0%. I noticed a read speed showing "OKB/s(0.0x). It just sits there forever, saying it is reading yet not moving. After 20 minutes or more, it won't even let me close the program. What happened? Please keep it simple - I really don't know very much. The guides were way over my head.
