Sorry I have another question and hence the TOPIC title is wrong. I initially thought of splitting my two questions into two topics but now that I have posted a different question with wrong title I will post my original qustion too. Is there any tool to close a disc once it is not written completely ? I used a DVD in NERO and it ended in error. But it shows the files in my original laptop and plays them too. But I think out f 713 files only 698 are readable due to incomplete disk. The IMgburn verifty report shows this.. So can I get something which will help me close this disc and show it as COMPLETE so can be read on other PCs?

Hi I started using Imgburn because I learnt NERO gives problems. But it seems problems are continuing. I do not think my DVD writer has any problem because I am using Dell XPS 14 laptop purchased in India less than 12 months ago i.e. Feb 2011. OS= Win 7 Home premium 64 bit 8 GB RAM HDD 140 GB free Used 4.7 DVD MOSERBAER. I even used slower speed as some suggest 4x instead of device max 8X. I calculated and attempted write only when 93% full was displayed. What can be the problem please? I 16:49:36 ImgBurn Version 2.5.6.0 started!
