here is another screenshot using my burner to test, just wondering how well the burner is burning since it is a year old....

so does that indicate a bad burn? or possibilty the disc will not work at a future date?

Not sure how to read this, nor if this is the write place to post this, sorry if it isn't, but is this a good or bad burn? thanks

well I burned a disc using the Sony -R's and it burned fine with no errors or anything different then when I burned using +R's....

I just bought a 50 pack of Sony DVD-R's at Best Buy because they are on sale, and noticed they have this thin white line going around the center of them, is this normal? If it is normal, what is it used for? why don't +R's have them. Thanks. None of my DVD+R's have them, which is what I normally buy. Here is an example picture of what I am talking about.

well looks as though it was the Intel Matrix storage driver; I installed the latest version (6.1) and have burned 2 dvd's with no problems... thanks for everyones help

doesn't look to be all the time, only under high load...0.002 right now...

thanks for your help, do you think the files themselves are messed up? or the files are fine, and something is just interfering with the burn? the average is at 1.216 at the current moment of this posting..

file removed.

yes I did search, and only thing they say is because of bad media, I have used Sony, RiData, Verbatim, and same thing. It has never done this before, until the last few days it just started...

What's happening on your PC that's so stressful it can't read from the HDD and burn at 4x?! Or did you change the buffer size to 1MB or something? I am not sure, when I burn, I don't do anything else while burning....my HD light on the PC is usually solid whenever burning something.... Do you have any free RAM or are you always working in the swapfile virtual memory? I got over 700mb free when burning...

well I am using SONY media, which is not bad...I have burned over 50 of them and have had no problems...no multitasking, I am not doing anything on the computer, and everything is close except imgburn. And the computer is little over a year old, and dvd burner is less then 3 months old...anything other suggestions?

What does this mean? how can I fix this? DMA is enabled, and haven't made any changes to the system... When burning a DVD+R, I am getting this... ; //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.1.0.0 - Log ; Saturday, 28 October 2006, 20:44:39 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 20:32:56 ImgBurn Version 2.1.0.0 started!
