Just went out and bought good quality DVD-R's, finalises the disc fine. For search purposes: Finalise, finalize, close disc, close session, SOME DVD's CAN NOT BE FINALISED! Thanks for ur help lfcrule1972!

They are cheap DVD's, so if its possible for DVD's to not be "closable" i suppose these would be it. Anyway, here is the log u showed me how to get, its one when i went through with the full process so it should show everythihgn (including min speed as 4x) ; //****************************************\\ ; ImgBurn Version 2.1.0.0 - Log ; Monday, 18 December 2006, 18:45:57 ; \\****************************************// ; ; I 18:37:22 ImgBurn Version 2.1.0.0 started!

Thanks for the reply, I cant copy the log for you unless i ruin another DVD, but yes you are probably right, 4x must be the lowest. As for the real issue, thanks again, i was looking for a "finalse" button, but i see the Close > track, session, disc, HOWEVER, when i click any of them i get a I/O error! I have tied with a DVD in and my iso loaded. any ideas???

some more info on the write speed issue: When i am burning it says "Copy: 1 of 1 (Write speed: 1x)" and on the other side of the window "Write Rate: 5,552KB/s (4.0x) But what i really need is to know how to finalise the dvd, please help, im sitting here wasting dvd's.

Hi, Im burning a DVD image to a black DVD, and i need to finalise it, however i cant find the finalise option anywhere? Also, when i choose a certain speed to burn at, it ignores it and burns at the max speed? (I chose 1x and it burns at 4x) Any help would be great!
