ok so, it was the drive buffer that was hovering at 97%. I slowed the write speed to 4x, and whaddya know, it works! The drive buffer moved up to 100% for most of the duration when I did this. No idea if the drive buffer is the problem at all.... but my equipment apparently isn't handling the higher write speeds well. Reason, unknown to me. I can live with the 4x and will see if I can get away with higher speeds... Per your directions Mr. Lightning: I 14:59:14 ImgBurn Version 2.5.7.0 started!

Hello, I've successfully used image burn many times to backup DVDs with the DVD drive (TSST TS-H653H 16X DVD+-RW SAT in my Dell Inspiron desktop) and discs (HP DVD+R SingleLayer) that I'm currently using. The process has recently taken a turn for the worse however, and I've only been successful on 1 out of my past 8 burns or so, losing the disc in the process. The process gets to 100% complete and then I get an I/O error. My DVD drive then stops working, and I have to restart the computer for it to be found again. The image file I tried to burn today is one that I have successfully burned before. I noticed that the Cache drops to 0% before this error occurs, and hovers around 97% during the burn process, not sure if this is normal. I've tried using laser lens cleaners (discs with brushes), and I've also made sure that I have the latest drive firmware. Here's the log, any ideas? (I is the Info blue circle and W is the exclamation error warning). The log is also attached (ImgBurn_IO error log.log). I 12:01:27 ImgBurn Version 2.5.7.0 started!
