Ok, so I have run chkdsk /r. I have checked and I have the latest drivers for my mainboiard (9.64 for the eVGA nForce 780i). I have also updated my burner firmware. I have since tried the first proplem dvd and now a second dvd which has the same problem. The first freeze's at 82%, the 2n'd at 25%. Same place everytime. Is it just a problem with the ISO's? I haven't tried the safe mode burn yet, but I can give it a go if you think it will help. I don't have anyothe ISO's to burn at the moment, but I havem't been having trouble with any others and have managed to burn some since this problem started. What do you guys reckon I should do next, just give up on those ISO's and try to make them again? Here is the log from the latest attempt; I 23:05:13 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices... I 23:05:13 Found 3 DVD-ROMs and 1 DVD

Thanks, I'll try the motherboard drivers, I think I have the latest, I have a eVGA 780i, but I'll check anyway. Just checking you want me to try to burn the image I am having trouble with while in safe mode? I didn't know that would work; but I'll give it a go and post the logs tomorrow when I get home from work ---- I tried chkdsk /f to fix any bad sectors, its said some were fixed. Is that what you meant Lightning? Or is there another option to scan the disk surface? Thanks for the help.

I have an ISO file from a dvd backup that I am trying to write to disk, however I keep getting an error at 82% complete. I have run checkdesk (chkdsk) and fixed all the errors it found but I get the same result. My thought is that the ISO itself may be buggered. Unfortunatelly I have lent my origional DVD to a mate, so I can't test that out until I cvan get it back and make another ISO. Logs are below... error is at 19.22.48...... any thoughts?

Thanks for the Reply, I am not sure what the problem was, but I upgraded the firmware in my burner and restarted and now it all works, just like on my old system (only Faster - yeah!) Perhaps I had seleted book type by mistake.... Cheers

Hi, I have been making copies of my DVD's for ages and have usually been able to sort out any problems I have by researching, but I am having a new problem on my new computer and I can't find it mentioned anywhere in any forums. Basically when I use IMGBURN to write an ISO image of a movie to a disc the process apears to go fine, the logs look fine and it takes the usual amount of time. However the DVD's won't play in my Sony DVD player or my cheapy divx dvd player (its a maya 602). They WILL play in my computer however. Here is the bit that is really confussing me. when you look at the back of the disc only 2-3mm from the inside of the disc is burned on. But the whole movie is there when I play it on my computer - how is that even possible???? the ISO file was over 4GB. Surely it has to use up at least 90% of the dvd surface to even fit? (!) I am using Sony DVD+R discs. Any help appreciated
