I had found these old (still sealed) Memorex DVD+R discs in a closet earlier today. DVD Identifier says they are Ricoh R01 (Rev. 002, 1x2.4x, 4x) DVD+R, not RW. I wonder why the label has that "RW" logo? I'll have to start over as I aborted DVD Flick.

I tried to "manually" erase the disc but was not successful: I 15:47:57 Operation Started!

I have a DVD+RW disc that has been recorded once. I am trying to rewrite to it and before I started my project with DVD Flick I opened ImgBurn and erased the disc (or at least I thought that I had). DVD Flick has been working on the new project for 2 and a half hours and still says "Finalising - Burning to disc..." Here is the ImgBurn log to-date: I 14:47:06 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!I 14:47:06 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 3) I 14:47:06 Total Physical Memory: 1,048,048 KB - Available: 514,880 KB I 14:47:06 Initialising SPTI... I 14:47:06 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices... I 14:47:06 Found 1 DVD-ROM and 1 DVD

I started the project again from scratch today and remembered to tick "Burn project to disc" in Project settings in DVD Flick. Top Gear is now playing fine in my standalone player. Thanks to all for the assistance.

I tried to burn my very first DVD-R (it is a -R Taiyo Yuden single layer) with v2.4.2.0 of ImgBurn today. I followed all of the instructions in the "Burning DVD Video files directly to single layer media with ImgBurn" Guide to the letter. My VIDEO_TS folder contains the following files: dvd folder (contains AUDIO_TS folder (empty), VIDEO_TS folder (8 files - total 3.57 GB), tcmplex_title0.txt dvdauthor.txt (38.5 KB) dvdauthor.xml (539 bytes) dvdflick.log (3.07 KB) ffmpeg_audio_title0_track0_source0.txt (167 KB) ffmpeg_video_title0_source0.txt (0.99 MB) My burner is an older MSI 4x and it is my D drive. I am not sure what I have missed but I do not recall seeing the Buffer & Device Buffer status bars turn green (I wasn't watching the entire operation). Could my burner not have initialised or finalised the disc or does ImgBurn do this?
