OK sorry, I didn't know that.

Now I'm getting a "scratch" error (I had seen it a few times before) everytime I try. I've tried 4 different pre-recorded DVDs. Could I have more serious hardware problems than first thought (I updated the firmware last night). I also cleaned the DVDs after getting the error but still got the error. I know this isn't a RipIt forum but I'm thinking that if I'm having serious hardware problems that that could be the same reason I'm having trouble with ImgBurn. Here's the log with the error. Do you think I need a new drive?

Will check out the firmware part tonight but want to add that I'm using the same 100 spindle of DVD and nothing else has changed...been doing fine since January then out of the blue this starts. Could it be that I should just uninstall all the software and reinstall...seems like the DVDs would have been a problem before now....just a thought.

I was using the slower speed because I read that somewhere when I was setting all the software up. Update what firmware (see I told ya I'm not a techy, lol)??? Were to I get those disks....I'm in a small town in the mountains so have to order them online. Thanks...so far!!

I have been using ImgBurn fine since January and now, in the last 2 weeks I keep getting this: It took 9 hours to get this far cuz I set it at 2x since 4x was what I was using and still getting the error. I'm new at all this and not a techy so I hope these screen shots uploaded (if not I'll post another msg with the text part). I also won't understand an answer full of tech terms so if you could tell me in laymen's (2nd grade, lol) terms that would be great. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

I'm so frustrated. I've used RipIt4Me, DVD Decrypter, FIX, Shrink and ImgBurn on TWO different computers with the same result. The ISOs are created fine but when I burn I get the same result when I go to play them: my laptop says the disk isn't formatted and my TV DVD says it can't read the disk. I've posted at another site with all the backup suggestions (http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/453074#2739594) and have tried them all with the same end result. Someone thought the disk was not being finalized and that I may have something checked or not checked in ImgBurn (?)...here's one of my logs: I 09:55:52 ImgBurn Version 2.1.0.0 started!
