JonKel Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 (edited) I have a DVD+RW disc that has been recorded once. I am trying to rewrite to it and before I started my project with DVD Flick I opened ImgBurn and erased the disc (or at least I thought that I had). DVD Flick has been working on the new project for 2 and a half hours and still says "Finalising - Burning to disc..." Here is the ImgBurn log to-date: I 14:47:06 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!I 14:47:06 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 3)I 14:47:06 Total Physical Memory: 1,048,048 KB - Available: 514,880 KBI 14:47:06 Initialising SPTI...I 14:47:06 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices...I 14:47:06 Found 1 DVD-ROM and 1 DVD Edited September 27, 2008 by JonKel

LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 You're using DVD+R media, you can't erase it. Put a new blank disc in and ImgBurn will probably start burning - assuming you've not done anything to prevent it from doing so.
JonKel Posted September 28, 2008 Author Posted September 28, 2008 I had found these old (still sealed) Memorex DVD+R discs in a closet earlier today. DVD Identifier says they are Ricoh R01 (Rev. 002, 1x2.4x, 4x) DVD+R, not RW. I wonder why the label has that "RW" logo? I'll have to start over as I aborted DVD Flick.
