Yes the drive I have is exclusive to HP computers. I appreciate the help and fast responses. Incremental write only had a 50% success rate for me so I just had to dish out the cash for CloneCd unfortunately.

I'll do another burn and post the log.

I'm using Verbatim DVD+R DL disc from Singapore. IMGburn will only set my layer break correctly about 30-40% of the time. I clearly have layer break set to user specific: 1913760. When I start a burn the log will say it successfully set the L0 capacity to 1913759 and L1 will be from 1913760-3xxxxxx. But when the disc finish burning it'll say the L0 has been set at 208xxxx (54%) I've tried with or without the .dvd file and it makes no difference, layer break seems to keep getting set at 208xxxx even though the log is stating otherwise. I know it can be the media or burner because when I used the free trial of CloneCD I didn't get a single coaster. Any help would be appreciated, I'm going through alot of disc which are not cheap. Thanks. Edit also the disc are 2.4x and I have tried letting the .dvd file handle the layer break instead of suing user specific but I get the same results.
