Hi,
I've been a happy Imgburn user for years, but lately I've an unacceptable failure rate (over 50%) when burning DVDs.
I've updated Imgburn, the firmware and cleaned the leanses, all to no avail.
More often than not I get stopped exactly at 244,776,960 bytes; the burner always pauses at least a second there, but going past that critical point in no garantee of success.
Here's my log

The DVDs I use are certainly low quality, but they served me reasonably well in the past.
What could I try to do?
Thank you in advance
