Please post the log of that burn (look in ImgBurn's Help menu). BSODs indicate something is wrong with your computer (overheating/memory/driver problems/etc). You might want to disable automatic reboot and taking note of the error message, which you can then later Google to find out what's wrong.

That's a good burn without any errors. If by error you mean when ImgBurn shows a message asking you to close the tray then that's because it'll verify the disc against the source image to confirm it was a good burn or not.

Your drive doesn't support those memorex blanks. What exactly happens when you try using the Verbatim blanks?

The .dvd file tells the image name and where the layerbreak should be positioned, and that's why you should use it when it's there.

Open the .dvd file with Notepad and you'll see what it's for

And what's the problem with that?

Please post the log from one of those burns that don't work (look in ImgBurn's Help menu).

That image doesn't have a filesystem and that's why nothing comes up in Windows Explorer. Googling the image's name came up with this page from Dell Support with the instructions: Custom Instructions for OM_6.1.0_SUU_A01.002.iso: This is part 2 of 2 of the ISO file. Download all ISO file segments into an empty subdirectory on your local hard drive. After you have downloaded all the file segments, run the following command to create the ISO file: copy /b OM* OM_610_SUU_A01.iso [Windows] cat OM* > OM_610_SUU_A01.iso [Linux] Note: If the wildcard format above does not bring the file segments in the right order, run the following command instead to create the ISO file: copy /b OM_610_SUU_A01.001.iso+OM_610_SUU_A01.002.iso OM_610_SUU_A01.iso [Windows] cat OM_610_SUU_A01.001.iso OM_610_SUU_A01.002.iso > OM_610_SUU_A01.iso [Linux] Use your DVD burning software to create a DVD from OM_610_SUU_A01.iso By the way... There's newer firmware available for that burner (remove any disc and close the tray before updating then reboot after it's finished).

What LUK said still stands: A firmware update could help with your problem but there's none for your burner. You could try a lens cleaning disc on that burner to see if it helps.

Look for updated drivers for your motherboard's chipset or the storage controller where the burner is connected to. Use SIW to find out their brand/models if you don't know. With ImgBurn in Write mode and a blank disc in the drive, please copy and paste here all the text shown in the information area of ImgBurn (right-side of the window).

It's not related to filenames, the error comes directly from the burner: it can't burn the media you're using. Even though it's the same brand you've been using the dye used to manufacture the disc may have changed and that's why it's erroring now.

When that happens, are you able to close ImgBurn?

Slim burners have their lens more exposed than normal burners and, as such, they tend to get dirty pretty easily. Would you mind posting the log of that burn you said there was an error?

Does the disc have a lot of files/folders in it? The more of them, the more time it takes to parse the filesystem.

Seems like your drive doesn't have good support for those 2.4x blanks. I think it'd be worth trying a few Verbatim 8x (MKM-003-00 dye) blanks to see how good they burn.

You'd need a dual-layer BluRay in order to burn that as it is. Google around a bit and you can find ways to shrink it to BD-25 size

If you copy the folders/files from that DVD to your computer using Windows Explorer/My Computer does it work? If it does then try playing the copied content to check if it's all there.

Use a lens cleaning disc on that burner, and if it doesn't help, you should start looking for a non-slim external burner

Have you tried burning at 4x?

Try burning at 6x or 8x to see if it works. Also please post the log from when you've burned with the Verbatim blanks (look in ImgBurn's Help menu).

Yup, it's the discs.

You shouldn't mess with the settings. Anyway, make sure Verify is enabled as that what ensures the disc is readable.

It should have support for Verbatim blanks but the only way to know for sure is by burning them.

Your burner doesn't support those blanks. A firmware update could add support but there's none for that burner.
