Thanks for your quick response, I have set this and had the past two burns successful. Also, I have been using this program for a while now and only recently started having that error (On the same batch of discs). I will test more next weekend. Please keep the Error MSGBOX in the back of your head, to have the different options do different things. If they do already and I do not understand it, maybe an 'Abort' Button could be added.

OK, so I started getting these "Finalise Disc Failed! - Reason: Program Memory Area Update Failure" Errors recently on multiple different MID's (MCC-04 and CMC MAG-M01). I read the forums here and most of the time someone comes in to blame the problem on the Discs being 'cheap.' I noticed a couple other things when this became an issue on almost every burn (these are all 16x Media, burned at 12x), when I click Cancel on the Error window it still Retries the Finalise from the beginning instead of aborting as I expected it to do. What I then end up with is a Media with two closed sessions and booktype being reported as matching the Disc Type when I have DVD-ROM set in the config. These discs are not readable in any of my stand-alone test units, only in PC DVD Burners, Readers can not see the disc either. So, I tried something... I pulled out a paperclip and manually ejected the disc while the error window was still up before proceeding. The disc was still being spun when I ejected it, but surprisingly the disc works in everything that I try it in, and has Booktype set properly! Maybe there is a timeout delay that is needed in the software if this is some sort of response that you are expecting from the drive and not receiving? Also, I think that Cancel should Cancel the recording process and not retry the finalise as that is what the other button 'Retry' is for. I am attaching some driver and Log info below if you think that there is something else to blame other than my media. =============================================== Filter Driver Load Order - ImgBurn v2.3.2.0 =============================================== Upper Device Filter: redbook Upper Class Filter: [None Found] Device: CD/DVD-ROM Device Lower Class Filter: [None Found] Lower Device Filter: imapi Filter Name: redbook File Name: C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\redbook.sys File Version: 5.1.2600.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158) File Description: Redbook Audio Filter Driver Product Name: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System Product Version: 5.1.2600.2180 Company Name: Microsoft Corporation Copyright: © Microsoft Corporation.
