It seems that imgburn doesn't like the Sony DVD-R media I was using, however it still seems odd to me that the integrated shell burning handled the sony's fine but imgburn did not. Imgburn also didn't like the cheap dynex CDs I had but iTunes burned with them fine. That seems like a software issue not a drive one. Still at least it is working for now. ~Tario70

Thanks again for the replies. I cleaned the lens of the drive, then I attempted to burn at 8x with Test Mode. Unfortunately, test mode isn't supported by my drive. So... So I just started the burn & to my surprise, it worked! Now, I'm beyond curious as to why Imgburn would give me these error messages due to a dirty lens, yet None of the other programs would. For me it's a curiosity. Is Imgburn that sensitive? Or just that powerful? Thanks again for your help! ~Tario70

Thanks for the reply, but... While I will clean the lens (how did you come to that suggestion?), this still doesn't explain why using the Win 7 ISO Shell Burning options works, why using iTunes can burn a CD, & why Nero 9 Free worked after install. ~Tario70 Edit: Just tried at both 8x & 12x, No dice. Imgburn just doesn't function. Same errors as above.

I'm hoping someone can help me here as I'm at a loss. Burning doesn't work with Imgburn on my system. Nothing I do allows it to work, however, I can burn an ISO with the built in burning system for Windows 7 & iTunes was able to burn an audio CD, however Imgburn doesn't work, ever. I always get the following errors (however I can use the EXACT same disc with iTunes or the built in burning system & it will work, so it isn't the media). Here's the log file.
