Hi all and thanks for reading my post and having patience with me (The Noob) hehe i´v been burning dics with my plextor Px-860SA (Firmware 1.0 witch is the latest) and not had any problems , but suddenly many of my discs wont Finalise in the end. I can Burn the .iso file of a DVD movie no problem , But it just Wont Finalise the DVD making it unreadable in most DVD players i tried i´v tried to read as much i can in the forums but cant find someone with the same drive and problem (thou i find a few with plextor drives with the same issues) i narrowed it down to the Book type Setting and followed the instructions on how to change it, BUT when i go into the settings and want to change it My "new setting" option is greyed out and i cant change it as im writing this just before i need to go to work i hadent had time to figure out how to put the pictures of my log and such in the forum (yes im new at this) But i just wanted to start with this soo you have a general idea of my problem , and as soon as i get home again i´ll ad the pictures for a better overview You can write me here if you know a fast way to add the pictures here since it want´s me to link to the pictures and i dont know how (in this writing momemt) I thank you for your patience and im sorry if this is a repeated question somewere in the forum Regards UnterGang (a burning noob)
