Yeah, that's next on my to-do list. Will post results... You guys are great, thanks again! IG

Sigghh... even with the new Verbatim media, I'm having the same problem, just worded a bit differently. Here is my log: I 15:15:43 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!

Okay, I zipped out & returned the two *used* boxes of Memorex & picked up some Verbatin DVD+R DL 8X 8.5GB discs. Trying to get a good burn now. Will post as soon as I get some results... Thanks you guys for your advice thus far! -IG

I may have described my experience poorly. Allow me to clarify: After the verify has failed, and it has given up trying, I've put the program into 'Verify' mode in hopes of 'manually' verifying the disc which, by all indications, DID burn successfully. However, when I try this, the program claims the disc is empty. "Well, then," says I, "If it's empty, I'll try burning it again." So I put it back into 'Write' mode. It looks at the disc and says "Media is not Empty." Hope that's clearer. Basically, it all seems to go well until the verify stage. I've written several discs here & can't boot them or explore them. Might I have mischecked some option for DVD-R DL drives/media? I tried to set the options for this particular drive, & it said "Successful" but the options don't appear to change in the dialog. Thanks again for insights- IG

Tried again after flashing the firmware to 1.07 Results were much the same, with slight difference. After writing, it DID acknowledge the disc to verify, but had consistent errors when attempting to verify> I copied down the error messages: I/O Error!

I've just updated the firmware to 1.07 Is there some reason you reccomend1.06? If this doesn't work, I'll try getting some new media. Oh, and yes, I'm waiting a long time for the drive to recognize & begin to verify. Eventually, it comes back with the message: W 11:27:46 Waiting for device to become ready... When I go back to verify this disc I burned, it says "Disc is Empty" But when I go back to 'Write' mode, it says "Disc is not Empty"

Hello, Folks, I'm new & I'm having troubles. Trying to burn a 7.8GB ISO onto a Memorex DVD-R DL 2.4X The drive is an NEC 3550, capable of DVD-R DL. I'm writing atthe slowest speed, & all seems top go welkl until verify. Then, it gives a warning: W 11:27:46 Waiting for device to become ready... The main window status bar says: Device Not Ready (Medium Not Present) How can I rectify this & get back to work? Thanks for any advice! -IG PS- Here is my log: I 10:44:48 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!
