I have spent the last couple of days attempting to troubleshoot what appears to be incompatibility format issues with my DVD writer and my DVD+R DL discs. Here is my imgBurn log:

Can anyone shed any light on what can be done? Is it a matter of buying another brand of DVD+R DL's or is it changing the settings in imgBurn? Thanks--Matt
