[Long unnecessary erase/format of DVD+RW]

FYI: I just burned an ISO image to a DVD medium of same type, using the Windows burn functions (same PC as before).

It took about 10-15 seconds to erase, then 10 minutes to write (about 3 GB, the speed is 4x) and about 10 more for verify.

 

Both DVDs were in a "regular" ISO FS format (that is: not packet written).

[Misleading "You need Administrative privileges to use SPTI."]

If I start an instance of ImgBurn while another is already running and accessing the DVD unit, the first one prints:

 

E 20:08:54 You need Administrative privileges to use SPTI.

 

That is misleading, as:

 -  it is already running with Administrative privileges

 - the privileges are not the problem

ImgBurn 2.5.8.0 on Windows 8.1 Pro  Update 1 (up-to-date)

 

I tried to burn an image to DVD+RW and did this:

 - inserted a DVD+RW 4X disc (pre-recorded)

 - erased it with Windows built in method

 - right click an *.iso file (about 2.5 GB big) and select "Birn using ImgBurn"

 - ImgBurn claimed it needed to format the media and I clicked OK (should've take 10 seconds most)

 

 - it is erasing/formatting since 10 minutes now

 

So there are two bugs:

 - it wants to erase an already blank disc

 - does a full erase instead of quick

 

Here is the log until now:
