Wow i go bed for 12 hours (and believe me i needed that i have been knackered for weeks) and get 4 replies thanks guys and gals (if any) that is usefull info. btw polopony its funny you should say: "Burns failing at the outer edge is common with crap media." because when i took the disc out what had been burn't extended right to the edge of the disc. And i'm located in north-west England (in Manchester if you know of it) :) edit: *sorry if any of my post sounds sarky its not ment to be*

i don't think this a problem i'm no expert or anything but i think the buffer has to flush itself every now and then.. correct me if i'm rong people

Do you reckon it were the media that made the burn fail? i see you have a Pioneer DVR-111 what do you think of them? and verbatim or taiyo yuden discs you say.. what do i look for you with the codes such as "cmc"? sorry lol its just i have always had good burns with cmc discs so never considered changing media

Any help more than appreciated

Maybe its just me but this thread has gone a bit off topic. Not having a go like its bin quite funny to read since my last post and my opinion is calweycn should go get a gameboy to see if he/she can understand that before starting to chat loads of rubbish about pcs. (and if you can't understand a gb get a wind up clock lol)

Yo calweycn your IP and others peoples IPs are logged all the time why don't you just shut it and enjoy the benefits of this fantastic freeware program. And anyway i have tried the program with it turned off and turned on and it doesn't make a damn difference to how fast it loads.
