The laptop is a newish HP Pavilion dv9623cl. Drive is a Pioneer DVR-K17.
All the burning programs I've tried fail on the DL disks, usually around the layer break. I am just burning data DVDs. I used the build function in ImgBurn to build an ISO, then tried burning it - failed at 50%. The media are Memorex 8x 8.5GB DVD+R DL. I am recording at 2.4x Roxio failed as well at 50%
Any suggestions would be appreciated - I've created many coasters so far....
