I've tried burning this same project several times. I'm using Verbatim 8X DVD+R DL made in Singapore. I've used 2 different discs. It won't finalize the disc.
The first time it said failed to write sectors 0 - 31 reason: write error.
The second time it got all the way to synchronizing disc and never finalized.
For the third I checked Don't Use Immediate I/O after reading that suggestion in some forum topic.
It is still currently stuck on synchronizing disc.
The drive was making noise but I hit F8 to pull up debug and nothing is showing up.
here's the log file for the 3rd try, I know it says write speed max but I watched it and it burned 2.4x the whole time anyway. I tried setting the speed to 2.4x for the first try and it said speed not available burning at 2x and that's the time it gave write error.
