ImgBurn gets stuck while burning DVD+R DL

wurstis · May 7, 2011

Hi there,

I have been trying to burn an iso image to dvd+r DL. For some reason it gets stuck every time I try to do it. It first got stuck at 2%, then at 5% and now 10%. The write rate just falls to 0 kb/s and the buffer gets stuck to 100% and the device buffer gets stuck to 1% (these figures are the same every time). I couldn't find any firmware update and it should be fine as this computer was bought in '09, also the drive should be okay for this. The discs I use are Verbatims. The first two times, I tried to use 2X speed. I simply cannot grasp why this problem persists. The dvd light is on and the abort won't work. The changelog doesn't give any good reason for this, but here it is:
