Truths

Ah! Many thanks... I tried to use 6 disc (roughly) and I have about 30 in my spindle :s

Dang! I had a few discs that failed to burn mixed up with good ones in my spindle. In response to LightningUK I tried to burn at 8x and it worked! I always thought 2x speed is a more thorough and safer option.

Just want to know, the disc that failed to burn - is it still usable for another burn?

Got some Verbs and updated my DVD drive. It burned but an error appeared when it came to verifying the disc.

I updated my drive from the link you provided. I think I need a new drive because I tried to burn after update and restart, this is what I got from imgburn.

B'ah! Knew it would be the drive. Cheers for your help. I'm no good with computer stuff so what type of drives should I be looking for?

ah! ok.. I made a post myself regarding Write Error and I'm going to get those discs too.

Dude please post back your result once you've tried Verbs or TY. I am having a similar problem but I think my DVD drive is crap also which make things worst.

Hello all! Newcomer here and have been reading the FAQ and existing posts on I/O Error: Write Error. I realise majority of the problem stems from the actual discs itself and/or the DVD drive. I have been trying to burn ISO onto a DVD-R with imgburn on default settings and this is the log: I 12:53:41 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!
