hey guys

I've been trying to backup dvds using DVD+R DLs. Usually, I get the .iso file from Decrypter and then burn with ImgBurn. The last dvd i've been working on, however, starts burning and gets stuck.

ImgBurn reports the following:

W 14:50:41 Failed to Write Sectors 2084416 - 2084447 - Positioning Error Detected by Read of Medium

here is a complete log of the burn:

I have no idea what that means, any ideas? thanks

You are using bad quality media.

that was simple. thanks. I knew it was a bad decision to go with the fujifilm DL disks...thanks again

You're welcome

Verbatim +R DL is really the only one to trust.
