Focus

I can try. But the burner is pretty new and with dvd5 I have no problems at all.

Here's the log of a movie I burned where ImgBurn didn't verified the disc. It burned ok, but the disc does not work properly on two dvd players at home. Someone else who also burned the image had no problem with the dvd. I 21:54:48 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!

He, I read through the forum before I started burning dual layers. Now that I started I have problems. Anybody any ideas? I use: SH-S162L Samsung burner (external) Firmware burner is up to date Verbatim Dual Layer (MKM-001-00) Write at 2,4x (only possibility) I burn with a mds file Problem with multiple dvd's. I check for errors in the image before burning. I usually don't have problem when burning, but when ImgBurn verifies the disc I always get an error around halfway through (near or during the layer change). When I play the disc (of the log) it plays, until it stop at I think the layer break. When I choose scene slection and play a scene near the end I can watch it. I also have had discs that didn't play at all and a disc that works fine. This is the log of the latest. I 19:35:44 ImgBurn Version 2.3.2.0 started!
