yep seems all good now. no system freezing. thanks.

ok will do. but i think i've sussed the issue. i removed the plextors and used my samsung and pioneer as master n slave. disconnecting the plextor drives. so far so good no issues. i think imgburn just didnt like the plextors being there. the TOC error never displayed an error message. when a disk was 100% completed it would then say sumthin like checking toc and then the whole system freeze. hopefully fingers crossed i won't have any more toc issues. if i do i will then take a picture with my phone and post image here. and show a logg of a successful burn, I 18:46:40 Found 1 DVD±RW, 2 DVD±RW/RAMs and 2 Unknowns! - i think the 2 unknowns were my plextors as the samsung and pioneer are perfectly detected and have had no issues. so all good at the moment.

thanks mate

hi guys i currently own quite a few dvd writers pioneer 115 and 215 pioneer 116 and 216 pioneer 118 and 219 plextor 860a and 860sa and a sony nec optiarc from 2007 and recently a 2010 model samsung unsure of model. these are spread over 3 pcs i have. i'm wondering what drives are best compatible with imgburn and or produce the best burning results. i've always used plextor and pioneer drives. but pioneer and plextor don't seem to be as good as they once was. any info would be welcome thanks.

This is the logg the main drive that freezes up when a disk is completed is the PLEXTOR DVDR PX-860A - possibly imgburn doesnt like my plextors but the freezing at the end of a successful burn as happend to all my drives. even my pioneer 219 and 118. gets to 100% then before the disk says 100% completed it checks toc and feezes the system. 1 in 3 all the time. but it has done it 3 times in a row before. any ideas. maybe imgburn doesnt fully supprt my drives. but surely not them all i have a good few.

i cannot produce a logg with the error if the system freezes up. no error logg can be created.
