Mjallo I have a problem. "Yes" you may say, but let me explain first. After reinstalling win xp, I can't burn audio cd's without hick-ups and most dvd-images won't work either on my stand-alone player - they play fine on both my computers though. In another thread it's been established that imgburn is not the problem - I didn't really expect it to be, but I had to start somewhere. I have a liteon cd-rw drive and 2 nec dvd-rw drives, which didn't cause me any problems before the reinstall of xp. I have Nero 7 ultra ed. installed, along with imgburn and blindwrite. Besides that, I'm also using daemon tools a lot. Could it be an aspi conflict (or whatever it's called), since various versions are installed by those programs. I'm totally clueless here. Here's an example of what happens: Last night I checked an dvdmovie.iso with isobuster, and it didn't find any physical errors. Then I burned it on to a verbatim disc at 4x speed only. When placed in my standalone, it's recognized as a valid disc but it stalls before playback starts. On both my computers I have no problems playing it. If anyone has any ideas to what my problem (regarding this post) could be, then I'd love to hear them! - trikztar

Thanks for answering so fast. I forgot to mention that the exact same thing happens on my laptop which also has an NEC burner installed (and has the same software setup as my stationary pc). I'm wondering if it could be a software issue of sorts, since I've had trouble burning audio cd's as well (not imgburn since the audio cd problems occured before installing that) - they've all been flawed as well...Hm, I guess It's not the right place to asker further questions, since imgburn probably isn't the issue here - trikztar

Hi there I'm having some annoying problems burning dvd's, and I just can't figure out what's causing them. I've tried burning various images at varying speeds, but I still get errors. What is odd, is that I can play the dvd's on my computer, but not my standalone dvd-player (philips hdrw-720). Sometimes the dvd's do actually work on the philips as well, but errors still occur during verification. Here's the log: I 13:42:30 ImgBurn Version 2.1.0.0 started!
