No, but I'll email them now. Thanks for all the help!

Don't think it worked =/. On the bottom left of imgburn, when it's writing and tells you what it's doing, the first thing it used to say was setting l0 data capacity or something of that sort, then after 45-60 seconds, i got the error messages. Now the first thing is setting write parameters and then that's it. It's been counting up on the elapsed time clock for about 10 minutes with no sign of doing anything else

Any program running at the time I try to burn? Nothing that I know of, or at least nothing I chose to open.

Yes, no updates or anything different.

No such luck. The files copied and I changed interfaces successfully, but got the same burn errors.

Apparently that didn't work: W 04:39:21 I/O Interface has been changed! I 04:39:21 Shutting down SPTI... I 04:39:21 Initialising ASPI... E 04:39:21 Unable to initialise ASPI! - WNASPI32.DLL E 04:39:21 Reason: The specified module could not be found. E 04:39:21 You need to install an ASPI manager. E 04:39:21 Visit http://www.imgburn.com to download one. E 04:39:21 Alternatively, try changing the 'I/O Interface' in the Settings to a different one.

I run it through Parallels desktop, which yes, is an emulator. And I can't see this being a problem, because I've burned countless number of dual layers under parallels with this computer, then I stopped for a month or so and when i tried again, I'm greeted by this mess =/

No clue, I just know it's a macbook, early 2008. Not the aluminum unibody ones.

I 13:54:16 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started! I 13:54:16 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 2) I 13:54:16 Total Physical Memory: 523,828 KB - Available: 386,452 KB I 13:54:16 Initialising SPTI... I 13:54:16 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices... I 13:54:16 Found 1 DVD

Okay one second. And how do I post the full log? Am I missing some setting, because I'm copying everything from the log window.

Same thing happens with verbatim 2.4x discs! =/

Thanks for your help! I'm going to pick up a few verbatim's tomorrow and test it out. Dual layer disc's seem to be different than regular blank cd's and dvd's am I right? For example, with just cd-r's and dvd-r's, I can use any brand at all with no problems. But i obviously have problems with certain brands of DL discs. Normal?

Here's the log from the write mode with a new disc: HL-DT-ST DVDRW GSA-S10N BP10 (ATA) Current Profile: DVD+R DL Disc Information: Status: Empty Erasable: No Free Sectors: 4,173,824 Free Space: 8,547,991,552 bytes Free Time: 927:32:74 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 2.4x, 4x DVD
