disable ANYDVD as per the warning on the 4th line in your log file

 

check for firmware updates for your drive

 

change your write speed down to 8x ish or even slwoer if its a laptop

 

your using 16x media, but your drive only sees it as 2.4x , a firmware update for the drive should cure this

 

and update to the latest version of ImgBurn

I did all but the firmware...that can't be updated...still getting same error on multiple burns on different media...guess it's time for a new burner

if you"do" have to buy a new writer, I would get an external one rather than replaceing the laptop one. 2 reasons, first the cost, an external will cost les than the laptops internal one, and secondly, an external is much more reliale than a laptop drive anyway, will last a lot longer, and will probably write at faster speeds than the laptop one.
