k thanxs guys for the info. I'll try and get me a new burner. May i ask what would be a good burner with a decent price, a price not expensive because i'm on a real tight monthly income.

unable to verify sectors, here's my log on my last burn.... I 10:24:55 Operation Started! I 10:24:55 Building Image Tree... I 10:24:56 Checking Directory Depth... I 10:24:56 Calculating Totals...

I know the dvd burn is good because it does play thru the entire disk. but just don't know why it's failing to verify sectors. after the 11th sector failed i just canceled it out.
