Im trying to back up some data discs to mirror Dual Layer DVD+R DL with little to no success. When I do get something that resembles a full burn, the HP has trouble reading it, it takes an age to open it in explorer and the macromedia projector file that kick starts the original DVD now reports itself as no longer being a valid win32 programe. Burning the same macromdia file to a single layer disc poses no problems. There is no virus sacn engine or spy ware killing aps running in the background. The HP 480 is running firmware version ff68 (the latest). Can anyone shed some light on this? I have included the log from Nero...
