Thanks for the advice Lightning, however ! Acting on your advice, I popped out and bought some verbatim DVD-R and have just had the same problem (except i only had to hit retry 33 times before it stared to burn the disc). once again i have ended up with a perfect copy. How bizzare !

Hi, for your info i am also suffering the same problem, i have a sony optiarc DVD RW AD-7200S running on an ASUS P5ND mobo. It is a fairly new system with the latest drivers, i have used various discs including RITEC and the only ones that seem to work ok are DVD+RW. (but not DVD-RW) The strange thing is (as you can see from the ImgBurn Log) is that if i keep hitting the retry button, after "retrying 119" the disc burn't fine and finished. It also plays perfectly. I originaly thought it was a problem with dvd decrypter and the new Optiarc, but, obviously not ! I 15:58:08 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!
