Looked at that before just a bunch of words that mean nothing to me, sorry! Doesn't tell you why or how to resolve just that other programmes do the same

Thanks Cynthia. Your a great help!!

To burn Wii games on? Always used + in my drive but notice a lot use - for burning games. My drive accepts both so which is the better? At present I have tried both and just made coasters and have been advised to get Verbatim AZO instead of the normal verbatims but not sure which ones. When Im burning dvd+ it takes longer than if using dvd- (dont know if this has any thing to do with which one i should use) Thanks

Also. Are DVD- or DVD+ the better? I have always used + on my pc but it does support - also. Recently the drive has failed when burning DVD movies also so it could be the burner dying as I've always used the same make dvd+ for movies and no problem up until about 6 months ago.

Would I get these on Ebay do you know? And how would I know if they are Chinese or not? Thanks

This is the log file from March. I have tried on 3 occassions today and made coasters and not planning on making another. I didnt save the log files from today.

Ive tried numerous speeds Cynthia TBH and all failed apart from the very first attempt. I did post a log file on this forum back in March and didn't get any help, that was using cheapy DVDs. Since bought vertatims as recommended and still no joy.

Burned one wii game succsessfully using imgburn then anymore and I get the 'Memory area failure' error log. Tried using verbatim discs, no avail. Updated my burner, no good so now what? I think (using VSO inspector) my burner is- Vendor: HL-DT-ST, Model: DVD-RW GSA-H60L. Is this the case? Do I need a new burner? and whats the best one as im clueless Thanks

Thankyou

Thanks but the thread doesn't tell me what the error message is or what it means and what to do?

Only started using imgburn yesterday so a complete newbie and burned one wii game sucsessfully, now I am trying to burn more but kept getting the same error message. I have changed nothing from the sucessful disc to the failed ones. Can someone help me. I am using DVD+R and noticed on the log file that the book setting is DVD-. Could this be the reason? Its the same as the one that worked so I don't understand it, also if it is this, how do I change the book setting? I 08:00:48 ImgBurn Version 2.5.5.0 started!
