Nearly every time I try and burn a DVD, I get errors all over the place. I have tried reading around and tried a few things. Such as increasing the Buffer size of the I/O and Build.
Seems like it's either a drive error or a hard drive error. But I just don't know.
I've also completely erased my disk and reinstalled Windows (on an iMac mid 2011 through Bootcamp; as well as OS X on a separate partition).
It's happening nearly every time and is really annoying me!
Can anyone shed some light on my issue please?
Latest failure ImgBurn log is below. It shows a completed burn, and a failed one. Seems the larger the image the higher the failure rate.
P.s. I aborted the Verify on the 1st burn for time reasons.
EDIT: Could what is being discussed here be of concern to me? Seems coincidentally related. Link: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=21682
