I have been using DVD flick for a couple of years on my desktop with no problems. Recently I purchased a laptop with vista on it and installed DVD flick ,all was fine until imgburn tried to burn it to a blank DVD (verbatim ) and it just stopped on writing lead in and stayed there for about 40 min. I stopped DVD flick and imgburn but the disc would not eject so I uninstalled them reinstalled them and tried again with the same results. Any ideas Darren I 16:41:23 ImgBurn Version 2.4.3.0 started!
