I can successfully use dvd flick to encode my torrents and get all the way to finalizing disc in imgburn and always encounter a problem. Sometimes the error varies. Have tried 6 different blank dvd brands. Posted log is burned with verbatim dvdr 4.7gb 16x. Log shows im using service pack 2 and outdated version of imgburn, which is a result of me formatting my gateway mx7525 laptop in hope of getting burn to work. I Can assure you I encountered same problems when using sp3 and updated software. Firmware for my drive appears to be up to date. When I first started to try and burn dvds, I used a memorex 16x 4.7gb dvdr and it successfully downloaded once. Have no log for that burn. Ever since I started to encounter problems with memorex and started trying different brands. Even tried verbatim 2.4x 8.5gb dl and have had no luck. Ive burned at all speeds on all discs tried,...for the most part #39;( Log: I 14:14:10 ImgBurn Version 2.4.4.0 started!
