The forums were down for awhile, but here's what happened: I replaced my power supply (due to some posts on other forums), and indeed had an improvement. Unfortunately, only burning up to 50% Suggestions are all greatly appreciated. UDF file system I 11:46:22 ImgBurn Version 2.1.0.0 started!

One of the Afterdawn denizens suggested I make the trip over here. Here's my original thread: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/397172#2405750 Looks like I need to buy a new writer? My memorex :-( is only a few months old. Could it be that my power supply is crashing? I'm using verbatim +r DL memorex writer (yeah, I know) anydvd, then dvdclone2, then imgburn. firmware is current for the writer (I think!!! [yes...it is current...I just reran the firmware again). I have tested a SL disk (compressed via dvdclone2) in between failed DL burns. Worked perfectly. I 18:01:04 ImgBurn Version 2.1.0.0 started!
