seems to work for me cynthia. i would seriously love to use imgburn on the fly, but due to these errors, i lose a lot of disks. this way i'm only losing 1 every 14, to me that's a result.

Sounded a bit stupid of me I know, I meant the last 110 copies were 80 bad to 30 good. It seems I now have to reset the computer, shut down any non-essential Programs running in the background then place Norton in silent mode. This lowers ram usage down to around 15%. Have wasted only 1 in the last 14 copies. Waiting for the next batch of disks to come in from my wholesaler. Great forum by the way, people discuss things, a real pleasure talking, if only to vent my frustration! Rich

cheers, might go with your advice and try an optiarc 726x then. i create and burn around 200 dvd's a month, my failures currently stand at 30 good, to 80 bad. P.S. As for the stars, better left starred i say

Here is the Log, Graph Data and Screen Grab from today's I/O Error. Just one of a few errors i'm getting on 2 very different computers. log.txt graph.txt

OK, thanks guys, i'll grab them on the next failure. Those disks don't come cheap.

i wish i could ianymaty, due to having to har reset it, it doesn't produce a log, graph or anything, just a partly recorded disk which is thrown away and a frustrated user. i've tried settings right down to 2.4x

Whenever i'm burning a 7 to 8.5 gigabyte ISO to verbatim DL 8x disks, imgburn 2.5.5.0 gets to around 80% then slows to '0' stops recording, no error messages etc. The drive still whirrs away even louder etc. i have to shut down the computer using the hard reset button (3 seconds). i've now wasted around 20 verbatim disks in the process. i have lots of ram (12gb), a fast processor I7-950. no issues whatsoever with any other programs, just imgburn, this has been going on for a long time now. any suggestions ?
