Thank you for your reply. The verify has just finished. It took ten and a half hours. I pressed the log button and it had a message that said something about me putting my head in the sand? I found this information under "device" :- TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-224BB SB00 (SATA) Current Profile: DVD-R Disc Information: Status: Complete State of Last Session: Complete Erasable: No Sessions: 1 Sectors: 2,176,128 Size: 4,456,710,144 bytes Time: 483:37:03 (MM:SS:FF) MID: MCC 03RG20 Supported Write Speeds: 4x, 6x, 8x, 10x, 12x, 14x, 16x TOC Information: Session 1...

In the meantime I will just burn the discs and then test them by putting them in a DVD player and seeing if they work. - not verifying them.

I have used Imgburn to make a DVD. It burned the files in what I woould consider a normal amount of time - however it has spent the last 5 hours and 25 minutes verifying the disc and has only got 43% towards completion? Is this normal? If not, how do I fix things? Thanking you.
