I have tried the newest versions of CloneDVD2 and AnyDVD but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Thanks to everyone for their input (I do have iTunes on my PC so will delete that and see if it changes anything).
To be honest I'm just going to stick with Nero which doesn't seem to have a problem with either my burner, firmware, other programs on the PC or the media I am using. I suppose the saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it" comes to mind. I will continue to use the excellent CloneCD which is a wonderful wee program.
Thanks again.

For what it is worth . . .
I also had continual problems burning with CloneDVD2 when I tried it out. It would just lock up part way through a burn. The only assistance I got from the forum was to update to the newest version - which I did - and had no effect on the problem.
Rather than create more dvd coasters, I also gave up on CloneDVD2 as a burning engine. I do all my burning with my Roxio EMC7 software package - with absolutely no problems ever. So, something about CloneDVD2 and my system simply does not get along.
BTW, before anyone starts trashing EMC7 and suggesting having it on my system is the problem - I actually tried running CloneDVD2 without any Roxio software on the system - with dvd burns still locking up part way through.
Also, some software packages are much more sensitive to firmware versions than others, especially when burning to dvd media. I absolutely agree with the folks who have suggested making sure you are using up to date firmware when diagnosing dvd burning problems.
