   UPDATE:
   WOOPS Seems I was burning at 2,4x while disk is minimum of 4x could THIS be the problem? I doubt it as imgburn automatically started burning at 4x....
    
   For what it's worth, disc completed successfully but is NOT playable, so its a bad burn.

This is a dedicated machine purely for the purpose of burning, and file servering, while burning the server part was completely shut down, as I always do when burning discs, exact the same processes, 2 minutes before this disc I finalized another disc, with same media type, these are VERBATIM DL's, I never use a different brand, ever.

 

Im not that known with the error codes etc, but it seems the trouble started at layer 2, if thats relevant.\

(I would like to ask if layer 2 is located closest to writable area of the disk, or more to the readable area of the disk << this is irrelevant but I would like to know anyway)

 

This happened while burning a game backup, the log is as following:

In fact, its still happening at the moment, lol!

I 17:46:27 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: MKM-003-00) (Speeds: 4x; 6x; 8x; 10x)

Those are the 8x rated Verbatim DVD+R DL blanks, so try burning them at 8x or 6x to see if it works. If it doesn't, try getting the 2.4x rated ones (MKM-001-00 dye) made in Singapore (the ones made in India are inferior quality) or get a new burner, which may have better support for the 8x blanks
