Neither of those discs that I burned worked... maybe it's my burner.. I'll try it with another burning program and see. EDIT: It works with Dvd Decryptor. It even finalizes...

Oh I thought it would be a literal coaster on the disc or something lol. I only tested the second one with verify so I think I'm good. I need to test these soon so I can determine if I even need to solve the problem or just ignore it.

what does a coaster look like? I just looked at the back of the two discs I burned and right around the edges the color is different in a whole circle around the disc. The empty discs don't have this... Edit: This outer ring color matches the color of an empty disc. So the disc changes color slightly when I burn it or do I have coasters?

I've read (in too many places) that burning faster than 2x for xbox 360 games will get me coasters.. I don't know but do you think that would help me finalize the disc?

I'm in the middle of burning another with verify on (it's on the verify step.) It had the same finalize disc problem - so far the verify (25% complete) has found nothing wrong.

I will edit this with the verify.
