I need help, I've never had problems until now. I'm using DVDFab 5 to copy and Imgburn to write. My last 5 burn attempts have mad coasters. Can someone help? Here's my latest log, I'm using Dynex DVD-r's. I 06:13:17 ImgBurn Version 2.4.2.0 started!

I 06:13:20 Write Speed: 20x Slow your Write speed Down. Try Burning at 8X. You May have gotten lucky with the Dynex Discs. (MCCs)
this is too large for a DVD-5. Unless you are burning to a DL (DVD-9) disk then you should shrink the size down. 4.38MB should be the largest you can fit onto a DVD-5 (single layer blank DVD). what are you trying to burn? have you used other programs? also it shows your drive is not accessible, therefore the write error.
Hmm... In the past I always found Verbatim DatalifePLus 16x, (MCC03RG20) to be very good. MCC is in fact Verbatim's parent company.
