I am sorry- can someone help me with the "firmwear" issue? I have tried everything else- Im not 100% sure what firmwear is, but I see from other threads here that downloading it has helped. Can anyone tell me where a safe download of this is? I am so sorry I am being such a pain- I love IMG Burn and use it burn 20+ discs daily, so I am desperate.

I tried different discs- same thing. I even have a "stand alone" burner- that is burning both types of DVDs just fine. I am using that today since I cant use IMG- but all my masters are on external HD - I use IMG to get them from my HD to a disc. I just tried going to my back office computer- it's a completely different computer that has IMG burn on it also- BUT the version of IMG Burn on my back computer was downloaded at a completely different time and date as the one on this computer. It worked fine last weekend when I burned some DVDs on it. Now I just went back, booted up that computer to use that to use IMGburn- and I had the *same exact problem.* - IMG did the same exact thing it did on this computer- I put the disc in- it "buffers", runs for about 10 seconds then stops. Any thing else I can do? I am desperate at this point.

If anybody can help me get IMG back up and running- I will Paypal you $20. I am really in a bind. All my masters are on my external HD- I need someway to burn these to DVD.

OK I will try and get back with you. Thank you. It was working fine Saturday- Sunday morning it just stopped. OK I tried changing the speed- and still the same thing is happening.

Hi there. I have used IMGBurn successfully for well over a year now. All of the sudden it just stopped working. I have tried uninstalling it and re-installing it 4 times. I have tried shutting down my computer and re-booting it. I have scanned for viruses- nada. I have no idea what has caused this. When I put a disc in- it "buffers" to 100%, then just stops. I was getting an "Invalid address for write" message, now it's just stuck and has been for 45 minutes. I was trying to burn another DVD to get the full log with the "invalid address" message, but it's just stuck. I have ruled out a drive issue, as I also have DVDshrink and just burned 2 DVDs using DVDshrink to my hard drive and it was fine. I have always sent in donations via paypal- so I can rule out Karma also. LOL I make my living burning DVDs and I ONLY trust IMGburn to burn my DVDs so I am up a creek unless someone can help. here is my log- thanks in advance. I 12:41:52 ImgBurn Version 2.5.5.0 started!
