Thanks for the fast reply! I got a dvd lens cleaner disk and popped it in a few times then started it up and tried it on x6. It seems to be working like a top now I hope it completes and I will update. The blanks are verbatim dvd-r's.

Im trying to burn these windows 7 files I got from the free programs for college students thing. And I can't seem to get this to burn. Here is the log, I 20:52:14 ImgBurn Version 2.5.1.0 started!

Thanks again, I have one more question. If i got the Verbatim 2.4x DVD+R DL blanks should it work with my current burner?

Thanks for the reply, so does this mean i need to pick up a new burner?
