Slow DVD burn (6 1/2 days) and can't cancel

[daddycool]

I'm using imgburn for the first time, to burn an iso file to dvd.

 

It all started well, but things got stuck at about 21% for quite a while, writing at between 0-6 kb/s for the final hour and a half or so.

 

I've been trying to cancel for 45 minutes, but it says it is synchronising files and I need to be patient.

 

How do I escape this burning hell?
