Yeah, that seemed to do the trick. You rock, man! Thank you so much for such a quick reply! -mice

Hey anyone -- I'm having problems with imgburn writing to a new disc, but stopping midway through the write. As far as I can tell, everything is going fine, then it just...stops. I'm using an HPdvd740 lightscribe and tdk dvd+r discs (1-16x, 4.6Gb, RW, etc) It's worked on a different dvd, but on this one it just stops midway through at different percentages of completion (ranging from 28% complete to 87% complete). Then the writing just stops and hours can go by with no activity (that's about as long as I'm willing to wait before feeling like a fool and giving up). Does anybody have any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Am I just not waiting long enough, or have I misconfigured something? TIA! -mice ps I thought to post the log of the session -- I apologize if there's redundant information here, but thought it wouldn't make sense to second guess what might be important. There's been zero activity and it's close to 2:46am now. ------------ I 01:01:16 ImgBurn Version 2.1.0.0 started!
