Burn DVD+RW

[wptski]

Has been working in the past but I tried to burn a image to a DVD+RW and when it format/erase, it stops at 99%. I couldn't close the app, so I did a ctrl/alt del and stop it. Tried another disc, same thing. Thought my DVD drive died but am able to format/erase from Windows. I uninstalled ImgBurn and reinstalled but still does the same thing. I have the current version, so no help there. I was able to burn the image from another app that does this.

 

It starts erasing counting up in percentages then shows Erasing Disc.. for a few seconds and then shows 99%-Erasing Disc.. where it stays.

 

I been trying to install the W7 SP1 lately but like many others without any success. I wonder if that has caused this issue??

 

Just found out that it will erase a CD-RW but still not a DVD+RW.

Look for the latest drivers for your chipset/storage controllers (this website might help).

False alarm! Found a old similiar post where it mention that a format would take 15 minutes. Sure enough, exactly 15 minutes later it finished the erasing and continued on. This is a new PC and my first with a DVD, although I've burned DVD+RW before, I don't remember the Format/Erase taking that long or maybe I just wasn't present to watch. From Windows, it doesn't take no where near 15 minutes to format.

The first time it takes a bit long time to format it correctly. The next time when you format with ImgBurn it will only take some seconds. Other programs do not really format the disc in a proper way, that's why they are faster.

Yes, I believe you are correct. I burned the same image using another app and you can see the burned section on the disc but on the one with ImgBurn the entire disc is burned.
