Thanks for the info. Please don't get the slightest idea that I have an issue with ImgBurn, I love this program. At least I have it working now, even if it is an earlier version. I can't begin to fathom it. I will pick up a cleaning disc anyway. And yes, I have a bit of a memory leak now and then. And I don't know the difference between SPTD and SPTI, I admit it. I just like everything to work! Perhaps I have an off bunch of TY discs?

Ever the experimenter, i downgraded to 2.4.4.0 - and it worked! ; //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 - Log ; Tuesday, 13 April 2010, 11:24:29 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 11:04:33 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started!

I also didn't get the SPTI detrimental warning.

There is also more to burning a DL disc than having an image. This site was an eye opener for me, and since I started using these techniques, I never had a problem: http://download.videohelp.com/r0lZ/pgcedit/third_party/blutach/dl_burning_with_pgcedit.htm

Yes, I have tried other speeds. Discs are Taiyo Yuden TYG02, which have always worked well with Imgburn. As an experiment, I attempted a burn with Nero - and it worked fine. This new problem with Imgburn seems to have started with the recent upgrade.

I am having the same problem as "Multiple Failures" below. It started with upgrading to 2.5.1.0 - it just stops burning, before halfway through.
