That is why TY and Verbatim are the recommended brands as they tend to be more consistent than any of the others and also have a high degree of compatability.

Google DVD Shrink. As for the other problems, we'd need to have a look at those logs to pinpoint the problem. I would suspect your iffy drive and choice of blank media would weigh heavily in the other problems you are expericencing.

Get some decent media. For DL Verbatim and Verbatim only. Imgburn is not a ripper and cannot read from any protected source.

I prefer internal drives and it is really simple to install them. Open your case and remove the drive (turn off PC before opening the case) you want to replace, there should be two cables hooked up to the rear, one is the power cable and the flat one is going to be your IDE ribbon. Place them in the same way on the new drive, they are unique and can only go in one place. Also look at the back of the drive you are replacing for jumper pins labeled MA, SL, CS...use a pair of needle nose pliers to place the jumper in the same position of the new drive. Put you cover back on the case and boot your PC, the drive should be recognized and you can begin burning. New drives from Lite-On & Pioneer can be found online at NewEgg.com for around $30-$40.

Your file needs a bit of compression before trying to burn to disc.

I agree, no need to go mucking around with the settings.

Roxio is shiite....and in case you didn't know Imgburn is the default burn engine for DVD Flick, but you should have been able to manually burn if you were having problems with the autoburn feature. I always prefer a manual burn as the autoburn with DVD Flick seems slow.

Not me...I like flick and ConvertX

Am I too easy?

Well there was a lesson that made my brain explode.... As for joining avi's I use AVI-Mux GUI ~ http://www.alexander-noe.com/video/amg/

uncanny I say

Has anyone tried SUPER? I here it's an excellent program....and free too.

Imgburn doesn't support multisession tasks, so no, this isn't possible.

What was the original format of these files? avi?

Might want to ease up on the multitasking to increase your succes rate as well.

Do you booktype your DVD+R DL's?

Marginal media at best anyway...

A little background for you if needed LUK. I think the problem might be from where/how the files where created. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/611037#3692244
