Okay...I've been trying to figure out why I cannot burn a copy of my dvd onto a DVD+R DL for the past week now and have gotten nowhere. I first tried AnyDVD and CloneDVD. I can copy the DVD with no problems to my harddrive but when I go to burn it to a DVD+R DL I get an error message. I then installed ImgBurn and am still having the same problem.
This is the log file from ImgBurn:

I am using "HP DVD+R DL" disks to burn the dvd. I'm new to the whole idea of copying/burning dvd's and double layer disks so anyone's help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your time!
